Pregnancy - is a special condition of the woman, which for others is a complete mystery. This is not surprising. The birth of a new life - a mystery inherent nature, and know all about it optional. Formed a certain system "mother - fetus", whereby a bond is formed between the woman and the embryo. The state of health in the early days of pregnancy is largely the same for women, but sometimes some signs perplexing not only surrounding the expectant mother, but also the very pregnant. Important as the experts advise, is to tune in to a positive perception of the world and if possible to avoid stressful situations.

What is the feeling in the first days of pregnancy

The state of health - a subjective feeling of man, his in any case should not be confused with the state. As noted above, almost all symptoms described pregnant at the beginning of new life are similar. First. Turn the change being produced in the body affect the hormones of pregnancy (hCG and progesterone).

• Fatigue

Almost all the women, from the first days of pregnancy The first days of pregnancy - taking care of the kid from the first minute Experiencing enduring fatigue, fatigue, drowsiness. Sometimes there is a fascination to take a nap in the middle of the day, while returning from work or on weekends, when it would seem, is not particularly important cases. All of these symptoms are associated with a powerful hormonal changes that occur in the body during pregnancy.

In the first place, "fool" the body clue where did the new "unknown" hormones, but eventually he realizes that the birth of new life begins, and begins to allocate the costs of energy and strength for two: a woman and her unborn child. It is not necessary to deal with persistent drowsiness, the woman should get plenty of rest, to sleep, as they say, for two, and to review the list and to reallocate their duties (which really needs to be done that can be entrusted to carry out the other, but from what should be avoided at all).

• General malaise

From the beginning of pregnancy, women are experiencing a period of general malaise, which, of course, is due to the influence of the "great and terrible" hormone - progesterone. It appears weakness, low temperature (within 37, 0 - 37, 5 degrees) and even nasal (mucosal edema also causes progesterone). Many of these symptoms are referred to the beginning of colds. Increased body temperature due to the influence exerted progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   the center of thermoregulation in the brain, it is based on this method of measuring the basal (rectal) temperature in the first trimester of pregnancy (normally it is above the 37 degrees).

In addition, the body from the beginning of pregnancy "has a policy of" immune suppression Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults   (immunosuppression), which prevents rejection of the embryo as a foreign object. Therefore, in the first days of pregnancy a woman should pay special attention to their health, avoid visiting public places where it is possible to pick up an infection.

• Signs of early toxicity

Early toxicosis - one of the women had heard about all the "charm" of this condition? Nausea and vomiting, mostly arising in the morning, accompanied by almost every pregnancy. Only a few lucky to avoid such symptoms. Firstly, the early toxemia of pregnancy due to the action of hormones, and secondly, as a body to prevent pregnancy, it is necessary to refrain from harmful child products.

Often appears aversion to smells. More recently, the aroma of cooking food seemed extraordinary, and today is disgusting. It becomes unbearable smell beloved husband, you can not open the refrigerator and cook food in general torture. Do not overpower you. A pregnant woman should only have what he wants, and is engaged in preparing dinner let somebody else. After the meal should be in the upright position to Whole Foods "settled" in the stomach. It is useful to arrange a light snack (fruit, cookies, nuts), and the number of meals to increase, following the principle: less but more often.

During all the weeks of pregnancy from conception Conception, ovarian cycle, fertilization and genetics of a child   to the long-awaited birth of the child there are processes of formation and development of the fetus. Each week has its own idiosyncrasies, which also needs to know the pregnant woman in order to avoid various negative effects or complications. Fetal development by week pregnancy is a complex process, which largely determines the successful development of the major organs and systems of the future child.

The most critical weeks in the development of the first trimester

Throughout subsequent pregnancy depends on the occurrence of the formation at the stage of embryo development .  It was during this period laid all the major organs and functional systems .  In the first 5-6 weeks of the embryo are laid following organs - eyes, ears, thyroid, liver, lungs, intestines .  Appears the brain, the spine, the nervous system is laid (it takes 16-18 days after conception) .  By the end of 6 weeks, the embryo appears cardiac activity, heartbeat .  At 7-8 week are active processes of formation of internal organs .  The embryo can already be called a baby .  The main system of the fetus (nervous and muscular systems, musculoskeletal system) is sufficiently developed in this period, so the fruit is already beginning to stir, but the expectant mother feels this is not .  At 10 weeks the brain and the Hemisphere are fully formed, there is increased development of the cerebellum .  Its further development leads to the fact that the fetus as it grows will make movements smooth, not chaotic .  Also in this period the forming of the mouth and digestive tract only, the fruit can ingest .

By the end of the first trimester (12-13 weeks of pregnancy is) fully formed placenta, one of the most important organs. The beginning of the formation of the placenta falls on the fourth week of pregnancy. The main function of the placenta - delivery of the fetus from the mother of all necessary for full development. The placenta also occurs production of hormones, which is especially important that the pregnancy develops normally. The fruit continues to grow and the full 14 weeks is already a little man. At this stage of pregnancy there is an active development of the sex organs - the boy from the future of the prostate, and the girl's ovaries. Also, the fetus is formed lanugo (also called germinal guns) whose main function is protective. He repeats the individual microscopic pattern of the skin, which is a feature of every human being.

How does the growth of the fetus in the future

The first half of pregnancy ends 20 weeks. The fruit weighs an average of 300 grams, and its length is 25 cm. It is actively growing, all body systems continue to evolve. By the 20th week, almost fully formed nervous system. At about 24 weeks the baby can dream, he falls asleep. It produces its own rhythm of alternation of sleep Dreams: how to understand our dreams   and recreation and this rhythm does not coincide with the rhythm of my mother - when Mom wants to sleep, the baby is moving strongly. At that time, when he is awake, he is listening to what is happening around and is capable of all the sounds of native voice mum highlight that recognizes after his birth. It is very useful to talk to him, give listen to quiet music or classical, as various sharp sounds may frighten him. The future pope, too, must take an active part in the process of communicating with your baby. Throughout the second trimester, the unborn child is studying himself - he can touch his face and ears, thumb sucking, compress cams, and even touch the hand cord. Kid actively moves, turns and hustles, he coughs and hiccups. He swallows amniotic fluid from a small amount of liquid, and then displays it through the kidneys in urine. The process of ingestion causes hiccups Hiccups - and if this is something serious? . At this point the mother feels that the baby leaped like, or as a light tapping inside.

The term is an intensive 27 weeks of fetal lung maturation. This is manifested in the fact that mature specialized cells that produce the necessary material for the pulmonary surfactant activity - with the help of easy to straighten out during the first breath after birth of the child. If a baby is born prematurely, prematurely birth, it is due to the lack of full maturation of surfactant having problems with it-nursing. 28 weeks is a critical step for the full development of the main centers of the brain and the cortex. Unborn child is able to feel pain, to distinguish the subtle flavors. Fetus are formed muscle, it is actively growing, and its weight is almost one kilogram, and the growth of 35 cm.

On the thirtieth week of pregnancy begins the third trimester. This time the final formation of the main systems of the child, including the immune system The immune system - how it works? , Whose main function is the ability to withstand the effects of pathogens. At 34 weeks of completed development of the cells of the pulmonary system, because when a child is born in this time he can breathe on his own without the help of special equipment. Before the period 33-34 weeks the fetus can still change its position in the uterus, roll leg or head down. In the future, the fetal position is becoming a major and usually does not change. At this stage of its development, the child is only growing and gaining weight. On average, 35 weeks of pregnancy the weight is from 2100 to 2700 grams, it is gaining daily 14-15 grams. Baby continues to grow and prepares for the birth. At 38 weeks the baby is considered full-term has, so it can be born in the very near future. 38, 39 and 40 completed weeks of pregnancy and the birth process of development of the fetus full-term newborns.
