Pregnancy- How Does Pregnancy Occur

How Does Pregnancy Occur - 

Pregnancy is the most important, beautiful phase but painful for some women. But whatever we may say, the results are definitely very sweet and innocent especially for the newborn's mother. But this all is possible only if the would-be mother or we may say, the pregnant woman has the needed awareness about how does pregnancy occur and much more. So, here I will tell you a lot of things about pregnancy.

Pregnancy occurs when the female ovum gets fertilized by the male sperm and embeds satisfactorily in the lining of the uterus or the womb. The first symptom of pregnancy is the missed periodamenorrhoea) though there are several other symptoms, that we will discuss later. If anytime (during your pregnancy, you notice some sort of bleeding, then immedialtely visit your gynaecologist. It might pose a risk for you and your baby.

During the first trimester (first three months of pregnancy), you might feel some sort of morning sickness or sometimes an urge to vomit. Your breasts might enlarge and the areas around the nipples might become darker (aerolas). After about the third month, your abdomen might become noticeably larger. This is the sign of the growing size of your baby.

Premature birth

The normal duration of pregnancy is 9 months, to be more precise, it is 40 weeks. If the birth of your baby occurs between the 28th week and the 37th week of pregnancy, then the baby is said to be premature.

Due Date Calculator

1. Take the first day of the last monthly period = 10th of november
2. Count back three months                       = 10th of august
3. Now, add seven days to the calculated date    = 17th of august

Thus, if the last period started on 10th of november, then the due date would be 17th of august.

Every pregnant woman should visit her doctor throughout her pregnancy. Regular check-ups are necessary to ensure that all is going well, and she will be given instructions on the needed diet and exercise for a healthier pregnancy. The blood pressure needs a regular checkup to avoid harmful rises because if the blood pressure rises and albumen appears in the urine, then the mother needs complete bed rest, sometimes even in the hospital. Sometimes, the birth needs to be induced early if rest does not prove to be enough for the mother's well being.
