When the couple plans to conceive a child, this does not mean that the expectant mother will always be able to determine the beginning of pregnancy. After all, in life it is not like in films: once the egg is fertilized, nausea , toxicosis and so on begin . In order to determine the very beginning of pregnancy, you must very carefully listen to your body.
For example, some women "wake up" the appetite to a certain product. It can be anything: seafood, fruit, meat, chocolate and so on. A woman tastes her favorite dish in huge quantities, without noticing it herself. Sometimes at the beginning of pregnancy unusual feelings arise that can be associated with fatigue, moving, poisoning and so on. But this may be the very first signs of an "interesting" situation.
When does pregnancy begin to manifest?
As mentioned above, at the very beginning of pregnancy, usually this is less than a month, there are no special signs. Signs of pregnancy begin to appear already in the second or third week, when the fertilized egg tries its best to attach to the wall of the uterus. In this case, a woman has strange sensations that are not uncommon in early pregnancy. In addition, such sensations are often accompanied by bloody discharge from the vagina. This may indicate a threat of termination of pregnancy.
The main symptoms that are characteristic for the onset of pregnancy are:
- Fatigue and weakness . A woman feels constantly drowsy and always wants to lie down somewhere.
- Insomnia . Many pregnant women suffer from insomnia, and their sleep becomes very sensitive, through which they are able to hear even the most inconspicuous sounds.
- Nausea and disgust for smells . This indicator is not mandatory, but still occurs in 50 percent of pregnant women.
- Delayed menstruation . This symptom is the earliest and common among all other signs of pregnancy.
- Breast Augmentation . At pregnancy the body prepares for "guardianship" for the child, therefore mammary glands start to increase gradually, that after birth in them the sufficient quantity of milk for the baby could be developed.
All these signs are normal and do not threaten the health of my mother and her future baby. But there are other symptoms that are not as harmless as it might seem at first glance.
When a threat of miscarriage at the beginning of pregnancy a woman may have a pulling sensation in the abdomen, which intensify when walking or abrupt movements. In this case, you should immediately go to a doctor who will inspect and determine the cause of pain. Independently to struggle with the developed situation it is not necessary, because it is possible to harm a fetus.
How to count the onset of pregnancy?
No one can accurately determine when the fertilization of the egg was carried out. Therefore, pregnancy is considered to be from the first day of the last menstruation. For example, if the last month was 3 numbers, and on the 2nd of the following month you found out that you are pregnant, then it turns out that on the 10th day you already had a week of pregnancy and so on.
For a normal full development, the child is 40 weeks. But the structure of the organism of each woman is individual, and the child can appear in the world either earlier or later.
Usually, you begin to feel pregnancy already when the body itself wants it. Sometimes it happens from the first day after fertilization, when a woman subconsciously feels motherhood and tries to find signs specific to pregnancy.
If you planned a child and determined the beginning of pregnancy, then you need to know in advance what to do next:
- start eating right;
- stop smoking;
- spend more time in the fresh air;
- minimize the risk of the disease;
- strengthen immunity;
- go to bed no later than ten o'clock in the evening.
When you learned that soon you will have a baby, it's worth taking care of your health and emotional state. It will be useful not only for you, but for the future crumb that you wear under your heart.
