The Pregnancy Miracle Infertility Treatment


The Pregnancy Miracle Infertility Treatment

Both men and women suffer from infertility caused by various reasons. However, it’s important for both the sex to undergo treatment for this complicated issue. Various known and unknown factors cause infertility in women. These include diseases like endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, ovulation disorders, and low progesterone level. Low sperm count and low sperm motility, STD, injury or chronic diseases, sperm blockage and ageing are some of the reasons men for, which suffer.

Scheduled drugs and systematic treatment can cure most of the above mentioned infertility problems except ageing and chronic diseases, although these treatments are quite expensive and may have harmful side effects. Additional treatment may be required to cure the side effects. Treatments conducted through IVF or In Vitro Fertilization and ICSI or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is best among the other methods of infertility treatment. In this technique, the egg cells outside the womb are fertilized by the sperm and then transferred inside. This treatment is suggested when other techniques fail to give results. This technique is a hormonally controlled ovulation progression. In this treatment involves, the ova is removed from the female’s ovaries and helps the sperm to fertilize in a fluid medium. But this is not a normal process at all and involves excavation of the eggs from the ovary, fertilizing them in an outside laboratory and putting them back in the uterus. In the normal process, the human decides to pick the healthiest sperm for reproducing the egg but in the artificial process, the embryologist takes this decision. However, when he fails to pick the healthiest sperm and egg, it may cause the ill health of the child during birth and even later in life.

Some alternative techniques with a holistic approach are fast becoming popular in order to cure the problem of secondary infertility. These techniques are all the more preferred by people as these have less or no side effects at all.

The acupuncture method, for example, especially ear acupuncture or Auricular is very effective in cases where female infertility has been caused by some kind of malfunction of the ovary. The hormonal message that is transferred from brain to ovary is the most beneficial result received from this technique. In accordance to the investigative trials, those women who have received acupuncture treatment for about 30 times within a time period of 3 months have shown good results. Those female who underwent hormonal therapy along with it suffered from side effects.

In the alternative treatment techniques, diet and lifestyle changes are given a lot of importance. Regular intake of such things that contain caffeine like coffee, chocolate, cocoa, green tea (containing caffeine), black tea and colored soft drinks which has harmful effects on conception is discouraged. According to a study, one and a half cup of coffee for a woman who is trying for pregnancy is sure to delay her conception. Thus coffee is a strictly a no-no for patients suffering from infertility.

Diets that include fish contaminated with PCB or Polychlorinated Biphenyls are also believed to be a cause for substantial reduction in the ability to become pregnant. According to one study, women who had more than one meal containing fish contaminated with PCBs (procured from Lake Ontario), developed reduced fecundity within a month.

The best result for the treatment of infertility has been reported through the Chinese medicines, acupuncture and of course, the holistic approach. The holistic approach reaches to the depth of the problem and only then delivers physical, spiritual as well as emotional treatment, rather than only investigating the organs. On the other side, the conventional approach to the problem of infertility fails to successfully detect and remove the real causes and moreover, causes side effects. The holistic approach suggests a natural remedy and a way of life that can really solve the problem as soon as the real cause is determined.

This article is based on the book, "Pregnancy Miracle" by Lisa Olson. Lisa is an author, researcher, nutritionist and health consultant who dedicated her life to creating the ultimate pregnancy solution guaranteed to permanently reverse the root of infertility, help you get pregnant quickly and naturally and dramatically improve the overall quality of your life, without the use prescription medication and without any surgical procedures.



Risk To The Fetus From Ionizing Radiation




Risk To The Fetus From Ionizing Radiation
For some prenatal irradiation effects, there is epidemiological basis for the existence of threshold doses. For others, such as childhood cancer induction, the existence of a threshold is not clear-cut. Despite these uncertainties in the dose-effect relationship, some The risk of deleterious effects increases with increasing dose. The nature of this dependence, i.e. the shapes of the dose-response curves for humans in the low-dose range (under 50 rem), is controversial.

Broad generalizations based on fetal dose ranges may be made. There is no evidence supporting the increased incidence of any deleterious developmental effects on the fetus at diagnostic doses within this range. The additional risk of gross congenital malformations, mental retardation, intrauterine growth retardation and childhood cancer is believed to be low compared to to the baseline risk.

However, the lower limits (in terms of statistical confidence intervals around the mean) for threshold doses for some studies, especially those related to cancer induction, fall within this range. The lower limits (in terms of statistical confidence intervals) for threshold doses for effects such as mental retardation and diminished IQ and school performance fall within this range.

Overall, exposure at levels exceeding 10 rem could be expected to result in a dose-related increased risk for deleterious effects. For example, the lower limit (95% confidence interval) for the threshold for mental retardation is about 15 rem, which an expectation value of about 30 rem. Gestational age at the time of exposure , Menstrual history. History of previous pregnancies,

Including a history of congenital malformations Other potentially harmful environmental factors (malnutrition, smoking, alcohol / drugs, etc.) Maternal / paternal age, Calculation of fetal exposure using dose reconstruction techniques ,Attitude of the mother toward the pregnancy. In humans, the major deleterious effects on the fetus include fetal wastage (miscarriage), teratogenicity (birth defects), mental retardation, intrauterine growth retardation.

Proper Way Of Sex During Pregnancy



Proper Way Of Sex During Pregnancy
Sex will in no way harm your little one. Your baby is protected from any thrusting that takes place during sex by both your abdomen and the amniotic sac You bet your pregnant belly sex during pregnancy! Couples are often reluctant to engage in sexual intercourse during pregnancy for fear that it will hurt their baby. The mucus plug, which closes off the opening of your cervix, also helps to keep her safe from infections.


When to Avoid Sex During Pregnancy It is highly unlikely that you will have to stop having sexual intercourse at any point during your pregnancy. The complications could include: miscarriage, preeclampsia, placenta previa. Getting into Position Now that your body is changing, you may find that sexual intercourse isn’t always as comfortable as it used to be.
The missionary position with you on the bottom and your partner on top may become increasingly awkward as your pregnant belly begins to grow.

You and your partner may have to participate in some interesting gymnastic maneuvers in order to find the position that is most comfortable for you. Here are some tried and tested sexual positions that you might want to try during your pregnancy. Woman on Top This position has you straddling your partner, while he lies down on the bed. This is a great position as it takes all the pressure off of your abdomen and allows you to control the depth and frequency of thrusting.

It also gives your partner a great view! Woman on Back This position is like the missionary position only without any added pressure to your abdomen or uterus. You lie on your back and raise your knees up towards your chest. Your partner then kneels between your legs and enters from the front. You can even rest your feet on your partner’s chest for support. Place a pillow under your bottom for added comfort.

This position isn’t recommended after the fourth month – you should avoid lying on your back for extended periods after this point in your pregnancy, as the weight of your uterus could block blood vessels that supply your uterus and legs. SidewaysThis position has you and your partner lying on your sides facing one another. It keeps weight off of your abdomen while supporting your uterus at the same time. People often forget that sexual intercourse can also be performed in a sitting position.

Want to get pregnant, How the Food Nutrition?


When you prepare yourself to be pregnant, so many things you should consider. One thing is to prepare good nutrition for your body. By providing good nutrition for the body before pregnancy, it gives benefits not only for you, but also for the preparation of a healthy baby later.

Your health before pregnancy will give negative or positive effects on your body. For that prepare your body before entering the pregnancy is the best.

Consult with your doctor whether you need to decrease or increase your weight to ideal body weight to prepare for your pregnancy is. Because with a normal weight, not too heavy or too over will relate to a healthy pregnancy and fertility of the best.

Good food nutrition in pregnancy to prepare:

Folic acid or folate.
Is a vitamin that can be found in green leafy vegetables and cereals, fruits such as oranges, grapes, and other citrus fruits. Or you can eat from your supplements daily. The recommended dose is 400 micrograms per day.

How to eat healthy.
Once you prepare yourself to get pregnant, then as far as possible, begin to eat a more healthy and balanced diet. For the preparation of pregnancy, 3-4 months before conception (fertilization occurs) is a good time to start eating in a healthy manner.

Low-fat foods, rich in fiber and vitamin folate should now be on the list of your healthy diet.

Stop beverages or foods containing caffeine. Research suggests that consuming caffeine would reduce the possibility of a woman to be pregnant. And caffeine also increase the chance of miscarriage, although further research is not certain, but very reasonable for you to stop or reduce it ..

Caffeine found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and also some cold medicine or headache, so we suggest reading the label before using.

Stop alcohol, smoking and drugs are a bad influence on the baby.
Alcohol, smoking and drugs such as cocaine / morphine adversely affect the baby and the pregnancy therefore if you prepare yourself to get pregnant.

Special foods for pregnant?
In science there are no special foods that can improve the pregnancy except for one that is: Mussel. Some scientists suggest to eat oysters because oysters contain zinc and zinc deficiency can affect fertility, both women or men.

But still eat a healthy diet is the best balance for your overall health and your fertility than vague or only eat two kinds of foods that are considered specific to pregnancy.

Try to eat balanced by varying various healthy foods in your diet balanced.

And also will help the sport a healthy pregnancy, and usually women who perform regular exercise before pregnancy, will continue in the program during pregnancy. Consult with your doctor the best sport for you.

Remember also that age also affects the fertility of women, fertility, women usually will begin to decline after age 35 years and could decrease after 40 years After 45 years and would be difficult to conceive, even with regular menstrual.

Sports During Pregnancy




Exercise during pregnancy can help you prepare for the birth by strengthening the muscles and form a resistance.
And also will help more quickly to return to the original body shape after childbirth.

It is important to exercise that is not harmful to you and your baby. You should avoid exercise that can make you easily fall / slip.

Many hospitals or sports clubs that provide a customized view of pregnant women. Most importantly, exercise during pregnancy is for pregnant women to be better and healthier, not to achieve a particular value as being in competition.

Begin slowly with sports road 20 minutes three times a week. However do not forget to pay attention to the signs that your body is given.

Instructions for doing sport:

- Discuss with your doctor first, what sport you want to do.

- Warm up before exercise and relaxation afterwards.

- Reduce the time that regular exercise you do to be 3 times a week for about 15-20 minutes.

- Listen to a given signal to your body. Because your heart rate during pregnancy increased by approximately 20%. If you feel tired rest, remember that you are pregnant. Do not push yourself.

- Drink enough to help the body temperature regulation and reduce the risk of dehydration.

- Concentrate on the muscles that will be used in labor, such as legs, abdomen, pelvis.

- The road is one of the safer sports.

- Use a bra that supports and shoes suitable for you that makes you feel comfortable and certainly safer.

- Other Sports recommended including swimming, light aerobics, bike did not move and now the ANC in several hospitals usually provide Gymnastics and Your Baby.

Stop exercising and call your doctor if you experience these things below:

• Pain, whatever it is.
• vaginal bleeding
• Dizziness, lightheadedness.
• Difficulty breathing.
• Shortness of breath great.
• Palpitations
• Contractions of the uterus.
• Headache.
• Do not do sports, consult your doctor first, if you are including in pregnancy with high blood pressure, premature birth in previous pregnancies, IUGR (intra uterine growth retardation) the baby does not develop as expected, or pregnancy with other conditions such as heart disease, lung , thyroid etc..

What is Test Tube Baby?


A process is referred to as "in vitro" (outside the body) fertilization. Simply put, eggs are removed from the mother's ovary and incubated with sperm from the father. After fertilization, the "pre-embryos" are allowed to divide 2-4 times (in a "test tube", hence the name) and then returned to the mother's uterus where they can develop normally. Through these procedures, women with otherwise untreatable infertility problems have given birth to healthy babies.

This means that we do in the lab what should normally happen in the bedroom (but is not happening because of a medical problem, such as blocked tubes, as a result of which the couple is infertile). Many people still have many misconceptions about a test tube baby. Some feel that the baby is "artificial?! However, we cannot manufacture synthetic babies in the lab! Basically, in a test tube baby treatment, we try to assist nature.

This treatment does not adversely affect a woman's health - or the health of the baby. Many women are concerned that the hormonal injections they will need to take will make them fat. This is a myth - these are the same natural hormones the body normally produces - we give them as injections in order to help the woman to grow more eggs. This treatment does not cause a woman to run out of eggs any sooner either!

Every month, 40 eggs start to grow, of which 39 die and only 1 matures. In IVF treatment, the hormonal injections rescue the eggs, which would have died in the normal course. A woman's age must be considered. Older women feel additional pressure as they feel their biological clocks are ticking and time is running out. The majority of I.V.F clinics put a ceiling on the age for women eligible for this treatment. The general limit is 38 years, Depending on the technique that will be used to retrieve the eggs (oocytes) a preliminary laparoscopy or ovarian ultrasound scan may be required,
so that the accessibility of the ovaries can be determined The eggs are now incubated for 4-24 hours in a specially prepared culture medium in order to ensure that adequate maturation has occurred. 100,000-1,000,000 specially prepared progressively swimming sperm are then added to the incubated eggs. Fertilisation takes place within the next 24 hours. 2-3 days later the embryo transfer takes place.

Management of Twins



Be careful about Wrong diagnoses by:
-Incomplete scanning of the uterus, which allows a twin to be missed -failure to recognise twins in the same horn. This is more common at 18-22 days before both embryos become visible, i.e. about day 25 - endometrial cysts - these can easily be confused with pre-21 day pregnancies; regular repeated scanning is the only way to make the distinction accurately. It is preferable to have 'mapped' the shape, size and position of cysts before pregnancy diagnosis is required

It is now an unusual event for twin pregnancies to be detected after 35 days. If this does occur, treatment options are limited and attempts to terminate the pregnancy and induce a fertile oestrous are likely to be unsuccessful. If no action is taken, approximately 10% of mares will give birth to a normal foal. Almost all of these are unicornuate twins. However, given the possible disruption to the following breeding season.

It may be advisable to consider termination of the pregnancy if both twins appear viable at day 60 by ultrasound examination. Techniques are being explored whereby one foetus is selectively reduced by needle puncture and drainage of the allantoic fluid. A needle is guided by ultrasound either through the vagina or through the ventral abdominal wall. This technique has had limited success so far and must be performed by 45-50 days of gestation.

Ultrasound examination; Ultrasound gives a much more accurate diagnosis of twins than palpation, as the contents of the uterus are visualised. However, ultrasound is not 100% accurate. At ultrasound examination the number of corpora lutea should be counted. This is not possible with rectal palpation but is possible with ultrasound. Mares with two corpora lutea should be treated with suspicion and scheduled for re-examination.

Twin pregnancies may be identified as early as 13-14 days. Most veterinarians now like to examine mares between day 13-15 to diagnose pregnancy, detect twin conceptuses and deal with twins. This is because placental limits are defined early in gestation and achieving a foetal death after this stage provides only a small chance of producing a normal single foal at full term.

Deal With Twin Conception, How ?







Differential growth rates can be identified using ultrasound Frequently the conceptus which is small for its gestational age is the one that fails Resorption is more likely for conceptuses that fix within the same uterine horn. Some twin conceptions result in the birth of a single healthy foal, i.e. nature ensures that one pregnancy fails early enough to prevent interference with development of the other.


Coping with the problem The problem for the stud veterinarian is to decide whether and when to intervene. The decision must be made before day 33 if the mare is to stand a chance of getting in foal again during the same breeding season. Interference with a twin pregnancy can be by: abolition of the whole pregnancy by lysing the corpora lutea with prostaglandin. If initiated before day 36 the mare will usually have a normal subsequent heat with average fertility; attempts to do this after day 36 (when endometrial cups secrete eCG) may not succeed and are unlikely to be followed by a fertile heat.


Manual rupture of one conceptus is the usual course of action, The smaller conceptus should always be chosen. Early conceptuses (14-17 days) are not difficult to crush but as they are mobile in the uterine lumen they cannot always be easily fixed. As the conceptus develops from day 21 greater pressure is required to rupture it, and after day 25, repeated attempts may be required. As pregnancy proceeds after day 21, manual disruption of one pregnancy is more likely to be followed by death of the other, i.e. complete pregnancy failure.

The reason for this is not known but it may be related to the larger volume of conceptual fluid that is released. Bicornual pregnancies are most easily treated by this method, although gentle squeezing of two conceptions at the same site (unicornual) may be attempted in the hope that only one conceptus will be destroyed. In some cases it may not be possible to burst one conceptus; however, repeatedly squeezing it may cause sufficient damage that it subsequently resorbs.

Successful twin management usually requires early and repeated examinations. The initial ultrasound examination should be performed on day 14 or 15. Manual examinations after diagnosis and treatment of twins can confirm or otherwise the continuance of pregnancy. Ultrasound examination is superior, in the hands of an experienced clinician, as the course of development of twins or a surviving singleton can be monitored more accurately.

Options To Prevention Of Twin Conception

Options To Prevention Of Twin Conception

Avoid mating mares with two follicles; then use prostaglandins to shorten the interval to the next oestrus. Remember the mare may not be examined regularly enough for detection of two follicles the mare may produce two follicles again at the next heat (this is common) it may be too late in the breeding season to miss mating at this heat. Detection of two follicles may be difficult by rectal palpation alone because;

Two follicles close to each other may feel like one large follicle on palpation, but these can be easily recognised by ultrasound examination) a follicle deep in the ovary may not be detected by palpation (but would be seen imaged by ultrasound examination) a second follicle, unsuspected by palpation or ultrasound, may develop and ovulate during early dioestrus; if the mare was mated close to the first ovulation by a stallion with good semen longevity a second pregnancy could occur.

Try to mate between two anticipated ovulations, on the assumption that the ovum released before mating is unlikely to be fertilised. Remember mating within 12 hours of an ovulation can still result in a conception both ovulations may occur between successive examinations ,the mare may go out of season before she has been mated such timing requires regular repeated examinations.

Diagnosis Of Twins Manual Palpation, When twin pregnancies are in the same horn, they produce a single swelling at its base. This swelling often feels no bigger than a single pregnancy of the same age. Twins which are located in separate horns are easier to detect as two distinct swellingsEven under ideal conditions this can be no more than 50% accurate, as in about one-half of twin pregnancies both conceptuses are in the same uterine horn.

Remember, pregnancy examination at 21 days may miss these bicornual twins (in separate horns) as the younger conceptus may not yet produce a palpable swelling bicornual twins may be more difficult to detect in the post-partum uterus, The latest time for identification of bicornual twins by palpation is about 60 days - after this the two swellings become indistinguishable. However, if twin pregnancy is to be terminated to give the mare a second chance to conceive during the current breeding season, diagnosis should preferably be before day 30.

Multiple Conceptuses (Twins)

Multiple Conceptuses (Twins)
Multiple ovulations tend to be more common in barren and maiden mares than in lactating mares. Twins in the mare are almost always associated with double ovulations.. The frequency of double ovulations depends on the breed and type of mare. Unfortunately, double ovulations are particularly common in Thoroughbred mares and are far less common in pony mares. Identical twins are very rare in the horse. Double ovulations occur in 8-25% of oestrous cycles Twins are highly undesirable in the mare. Let’s examine why this is so: Most twin pregnancies will terminate: either by early foetal resorption, late term abortions or the birth of small growth retarded foals.


. Placental competition leads to insufficiency and usually results in abortion. In addition, mare fertility is usually reduced in the following breeding season. In the past, twins accounted for 10-30% of abortions but this figure is thought to have decreased very significantly with better veterinary management. The mare's placenta is structurally simple (diffuse and epitheliochorial), and requires occupation of most of the endometrial surface to provide adequate nourishment to the foal

Twin pregnancies pose a problem, because two foetuses are trying to develop with a placental attachment area designed for one (where the membranes of the two pregnancies meet, there is no placenta). In early pregnancy there appears to be a mechanism for causing death of the smaller of twins in some cases; this reduces the scale of later problems. If twins persist as pregnancy advances, the nutritional requirement of the foetuses increases, foetal growth is limited by placental attachment area and there are

three common outcomes are One foetus becomes larger than the other. The smaller, emaciated foetus dies and usually both are aborted at 8-9 months of gestation. This is the most common outcome (80% of cases). The second is the foetuses are similar in size, and the placentas each occupy half of the uterus. The foetuses go to term and two small weak sickly foals are delivered. These may die or have to be destroyed.

In third, the size difference between the foetuses is large and the smaller foetus dies early in the pregnancy and is mummified. The larger twin is normally born alive and is able to survive. This happens because the placenta of the living twin expands its territory and encloses the mummified embryo. The evidence of twinning may never be suspected. The incidence of multiple ovulations is approximately 20-25% in the Thoroughbred mare.

Doctor defends pregnant woman, 56

Doctor defends pregnant woman, 56Tuesday 23 January 2001 - The director of a Harley Street clinic which helped a 56-year-old woman to conceive twins accused critics yesterday of wanting a "police state" where people could not plan their own families.

Professor Ian Craft, of the London Gynaecology and Fertility Centre, strongly defended its decision to treat Lynne Bezant, who will become the oldest mother of twins recorded in Britain.

Mrs Bezant and her husband Derek, 55, from Oxfordshire, are expecting the babies in June. They already have three grown-up children.

Treatment of Cough and cold during pregnancy






Cold treatments during pregnancy as many contain substances It's best to avoid 'over the counter' cold treatments during pregnancy as many contain substances such as alcohol, decongestants and antihistamines that either aren't safe, or haven't been approved for use by expectant or breastfeeding mothers. This isn't as bad as it sounds as most cold medicines aren't actually able to clear the cold virus and instead just help to alleviate

Symptoms - something that can be achieved with a range of alternative remedies. The best thing you can do for your body (and your baby) when you catch a cold is to get plenty of rest. Your body can fight infections better when you're not rushing about so taking some time out to look after yourself and recover properly definately pays. Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruit and vegetables will not only help stave off any infections

It will also help you to recover full fitness when you do catch a bug. If you don't feel much like eating try to consume five or six small meals throughout the day starting with plain food such as wholemeal toast; freshly squeezed juices and homemade soups are also packed with vitamins and make great nutrient rich snacks. It's more important than ever to stay hydrated when you catch a cold so aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water.

If you find this uncomfortable, raising the top end of your mattress by putting a pillow underneath to create a gentler incline. If a blocked nose is stopping you sleeping you could try using an extra pillow to raise your head , To help aleviate congested sinuses you could try creating a mini-steamer by placing a few drops of tea tree, peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil in a bowl with very hot water, placing a towel over your head.

If you have a sore throat gargling salt water can help. Disolve a teaspoon of salt in some warm water and swill this mixture around your mouth and throat for a few minutes taking care not to swallow! Avoid smoking or smoky environments as these irritate the respiritory tract further, exacerbating any cold symptoms. You could also try drapeing a warm flannel over your sinus area (adding a couple of drops of essential oil if you wish) to help relieve the feeling of pressure here

Teenage pregnancy



Teenage pregnancy
Teenage pregnancy is defined as a teenage or underage girl (usually within the ages of 13-17) becoming pregnant. The term in everyday speech usually refers to women who have not reached legal adulthood, which varies across the world, who become pregnant. The average age of menarche (first menstrual period) in the United States is 12.5 years old, though this figure varies by ethnicity and weight, and first ovulation occurs only irregularly until after this.

The average age of menarche has been declining and is continuing to do so. Whether fertility leads to early pregnancy depends on a number of factors, both societal and personal. Worldwide, rates of teenage pregnancy range from 143 per 1000 in some sub-Saharan African countries to 2.9 per 1000 in South Korea. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s.

However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under 15 and those living in developing countries. For mothers between 15 and 19, age in itself is not a risk factor, but additional risks may be associated with socioeconomic factors. Data supporting teenage pregnancy as a social issue in developed countries include lower educational levels, higher rates of poverty, and other poorer "life outcomes" in children of teenage mothers.

Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and cultures. For these reasons, there have been many studies and campaigns which attempt to uncover the causes and limit the numbers of teenage pregnancies. In other countries and cultures, particularly in the developing world, teenage pregnancy is usually within marriage and does not involve a social stigma.

In the Indian subcontinent, early marriage sometimes means adolescent pregnancy, particularly in rural regions where the rate is much higher than it is in urbanized areas. The rate of early marriage and pregnancy has decreased sharply in Indonesia and Malaysia, although it remains relatively high. In the industrialized Asian nations such as South Korea and Singapore, teenage birth rates are among the lowest in the world

Recognize the Signs of Labor




Although the birth process is different for each woman, but the signs of labor are the same. By knowing the signs of labor you will know when it's appropriate to leave the hospital and what can be done when the signs of labor you have to.

The signs of labor:
Mucus mixed with blood

Expenditures mucus mixed with blood. Because the blockage occurs in thick cervical discharge despite causing a reddish mucus mixed with blood due.

What to do:
Expenditure of blood and mucus may occur several days before delivery, so wait until you get regular contractions or water breaks, before you go home sick.
You should contact your doctor if bleeding occurs.

Water breaks

Amniotic sac surrounding the baby's amniotic fluid broke that out (Normal amniotic fluid is a liquid that is clean, clear and odorless).

What to do:
Call your doctor and get to the hospital, even if you do not feel the contractions, because this is a risk of infection. While diperjalanan to use sanitary napkins can absorb your amniotic fluid.

Contraction of the Organized

Unlike Braxton Hick contractions, contractions occur regularly, at first contraction increased only briefly and then the old and getting stronger, and contraction occurs symmetrically on both sides starting from the top of the oviduct close to the uterus, and the pain does not disappear or less with rest or persuasion.

What to do:
When the contractions appear regularly, begin to count the time.
Record the length of time between one contraction to the next contraction, and duration of contractions lasted. Labor occurs only when the contractions became closer 40 seconds between contractions others. First delivery will take 12-14 hours so you better wait for a rest at home while collecting energy for labor. So if your contractions are every 5 minutes or so sick you can go to the hospital. Do not forget to bring your bag already prepared.

The Fetus Growth During Pregnancy;From the first day of your last period, The follicles that carry the egg will slowly begin to grow from the third day of your cycle on either or both of your ovaries. The time, from which you calculate your due date, which is nine months and seven days from this day. Well, there is nothing much to say, as your baby is about two weeks away from conception. The womb is getting itself ready the mucus in the cervix becomes thinner to enable the sperm to swim through it easily.

The follicle ruptures and releases an egg or ovum, which is approximately 0.13 mm in size. This egg travels up the fallopian tube and survives for about 24 hours. This is your highly fertile period.This is the stage where the central nervous system begins to develop by forming a niche in the top layer that extends to the tail end of the embryo. If the egg is not fertilized within this time, it passes out the next time you menstruate.

This cell multiplies into over a hundred cells and travels along your fallopian tube until it reaches the uterus by the fourth day after fertilization. The egg is now called blastocyst, This is the stage where the central nervous system begins to develop by forming a niche in the top layer that extends to the tail end of the embryo . It is made up of two layers that eventually become the placenta and the embryo. It floats about in the womb getting its nourishment from the secretion of glands situated in the lining of the uterus.

The embryo is completely embedded in the lining of the uterus and can be identified by an experienced gynaecologist through an ultra sound scan. the outer layer also forms the umbilical cord as well as the membranes that protect the baby This is the stage where the central nervous system begins to develop by forming a niche in the top layer that extends to the tail end of the embryo. The cells fold up to create a hollow neural tube that form your baby's brain and spinal cord.

The next twenty-seven weeks will see the fetus grow in size while its vital organs mature to full capacity to aid its survival outside the womb. The baby's major muscles are moving in tandem with the brain as he bends and twists his arms, wrists, elbows, fingers, legs, knees and toes. His nervous system has also begun to function The three tiny bones in his middle ear have begun to harden but the auditory centres in his brain have not developed as yet so he might not be able to make any sense of the sounds. He will look quite a sight, as he is wet and slippery, covered in vernix and traces of your blood.
