Could I be pregnant? Menstruation during pregnancy, can this happen? Questionable signs of pregnancy

If becoming a mother is your biggest dream, you begin to look at yourself more and more closely. And often any change in well-being seems to be a sign of pregnancy. What can you really believe?

Questionable signs of pregnancy

Emotional changes. Often, from the first days of pregnancy, a woman experiences increased irritability, emotional lability- frequent changes of mood without apparent reason. First, she cries over a heart-warming series, a minute later she’s laughing at her husband’s jokes, and after another two, she’s offended by him for unknown reasons.

Cause: Pregnant women experience either sadness or joy due to hormonal changes that occur in female body after conception.

It also happens: at increased anxiety(neuroticism).

Breast augmentation often begins early. The breasts may be slightly itchy and swollen. It gets heavier, becomes sensitive and even hurts a little.

Cause: increased production of female hormones.

Constant fatigue, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness during pregnancy can begin in the morning. It seems like you haven’t had time to do anything yet, but you’re already tired...

Reasons: changes in hormonal levels.

It also happens: for neurological disorders. Perhaps you are really tired and need a long rest.

Possible signs of pregnancy

They are specific, but can indicate not only the onset of pregnancy.

: Her period doesn't arrive on time, and a worried woman goes to the nearest pharmacy for a pregnancy test.

Cause: the fertilized egg is “hooked” on the endometrium of the uterus, and in menstrual bleeding no more need.

It also happens: with hormonal disorders.

Changes in the vagina and uterus: cyanosis of the mucous membrane of the vagina and cervix, the uterus itself becomes soft and increases in size. These signs are difficult to notice on your own, but they can be detected by a gynecologist during an examination.

Reasons: increased blood supply to the external genitalia, growth of the uterus.

It also happens: with uterus, adenomyosis. Therefore, the gynecologist never confirms pregnancy based on a single examination on the chair, but refers the patient to ultrasound examination and asks to donate blood for hCG - human chorionic gonadotropin.

Nipple discharge. It happens that already in the early stages colostrum begins to be released from the breast. Isn't this a sign of pregnancy?

Reasons: due to increased production of prolactin occur functional changes in the mammary glands.

It also happens: with hyperprolactinemia. To understand the basis of such a disorder, the doctor finds out: either it is functional, that is, polyhormonal changes are taking place in the body, or the patient can suspect a brain tumor in the pituitary gland area.

Two stripes on the test. Sometimes, even before a delay in menstruation, women strive to quickly check whether the long-awaited pregnancy has occurred. And often the test confirms their hopes.

Cause: the test determines the level in the urine, and if its concentration is increased, two stripes appear.

It also happens: with a false positive result. Unfortunately, the tests are not as reliable as a blood test for the presence of pregnancy hormones. For example, a weak second line may appear on an overexposed test, that is, the test was checked not after five minutes, as written in the instructions, but later.

Slight increase in temperature. A woman notices that in the evenings the thermometer shows 37 or 37.20 C. The temperature in the rectum also rises.

Cause: immune restructuring is underway, the body’s defenses are activated. He strives to get rid of all the infections dormant in him so that nothing threatens the fetus.

It also happens: with an infectious or cold disease.

Bloody discharge, as strange as it may sound, can be a sign of pregnancy.

Cause: the fertilized egg is growing, perhaps somewhere there is a slight detachment from the endometrium. This happens when there is a threat of miscarriage. Sometimes women mistake such discharge for menstrual discharge, but it is different: more scanty, spotting, usually dark in color. You can determine what it is using an ultrasound. Generally spotting should be alarming.

There are also: for fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometritis.

Reliable signs of pregnancy

Happens only during pregnancy. You can trust them!

High level of hCG in the blood. A blood test for human chorionic gonadotropin in the event of pregnancy gives positive results already from one to two weeks. Even if there is no delay yet and the period is very short. When conception occurs, the fertilized egg divides, and during the division process it forms an embryo and membranes. One of these membranes is called the chorion. This is what produces hCG, which experts detect in the blood. In case positive result on the laboratory form it will be written: the hCG titer corresponds to one to two weeks of pregnancy.

Ultrasound results. Most early date Determination of pregnancy by ultrasound - 2 weeks. At this stage, the fertilized egg reaches a size of 4-5 mm, and your baby is already perfectly visible thanks to modern devices.

Very often women call me with questions like: “I found out that I’m pregnant, where to start? What to do? Where to run? What should I take? I decided it would be easier to write a detailed short guide than to tell everything again every time

This article is your quick guide to a new country for you - “pregnancy”. Then you will learn everything you can and will be perfectly oriented in all signs and conditions. In the meantime, I’m giving you quick, brief advice - what to do, what to quit, what to eat and drink, what vitamins to take, and others.

So, the first 15 steps:

First - Take a pregnancy test and donate blood for hCG

At the first suspicion, we take a pregnancy test; start taking it no earlier than 1-2 weeks of your missed period. Previously, he may not show anything.

If in doubt, you can donate blood to test for the hormone secreted by the fertilized egg - chorioganadotropin (hCG).

It is IMPORTANT not to do an ultrasound to determine pregnancy!

For some reason, everyone immediately thinks that they need to run to an ultrasound and register. This is not true!

Ultrasound has a very strong effect on the embryo, and can be done no earlier than 12 weeks.

To make sure that you are pregnant, it is enough to donate blood for hCG. This is a very accurate analysis and does not interfere with the development of the fetus.

Second – Tell your husband and family

After you are sure that you are pregnant, you can tell your husband and family about your happiness. If the pregnancy is unplanned, be patient and gentle.

Tell your husband first, preferably in writing, leave a note in the morning, write that you are pregnant and discuss everything in the evening. Give him time to recover from this news. Then you can tell your family.

Whom to tell is up to you. But many girls do this - until 3-4 months they tell only those closest to them, and then they tell everyone.

I think this is a completely justified decision; the first trimester, as a rule, is the most important and difficult for both the baby and you.

Third -Change the pace of life

Of course, pregnancy will require you to change your rhythm and lifestyle. First of all, exhale and relax.

100% of all expectant mothers feel tension, fear and uncertainty in the first days of pregnancy. And this is natural, there is no need to blame yourself for this.

You are on the verge of big changes and don’t yet know whether you can cope with them or not. But you still have 9 months to get used to it.

Although I know from experience the sensations of future motherhood will come already in the second trimester, and when you feel the baby’s first movements, you will understand how strong the feeling of motherhood is in you, and how natural this process is.

In the meantime slow down your pace– try to rest more and more often. If you have a minute, sit, or better yet, lie down.

I often hear, but how to rest is still scheduled - there’s not a minute, where can I get the time. The answer is simple and at the same time very complex - discard EVERYTHING unnecessary. And what is not superfluous - sleep, food, water.

Everything else can be discarded or put aside: a cafe with a friend, phone calls, work, household chores, movies, books, shopping. Just wait until the 2nd trimester, it will be easier there, and you can make up for everything.

Moreover, your body will help you with this; in the first trimester, all mothers complain of very high fatigue and constant desire sleep.

Fourth – Stop smoking and drinking alcohol immediately

As soon as we found out about pregnancy, stop smoking, drinking alcohol immediately even in small doses, even wine and beer. The consequences may be completely unpredictable.

Every day of the first trimester there is a huge amount of work going on, the cells of the fetus are dividing at an incredible speed, the foundation of all organs, systems, cells and tissues is being laid. Any interference in this process can cause great harm.

Fifth – Stop taking medications and any treatment

If you are taking any medications, are undergoing or are about to undergo treatment - stop immediately.

Go to your doctor at the antenatal clinic and tell him what medications you are taking, the doctor will change the treatment method.

You will treat any ailment during pregnancy differently than you are used to, so if you feel signs of a cold, do not run for Fervex or aspirin.

Most drugs Do not take during pregnancy!

Check out the section , you can find there the answer to the question of whether you can take this or that medicine during pregnancy.

Sixth – Start listening carefully to yourself

Pregnancy is the time when you hear your inner voice clearer than ever. He protects you from everything harmful and dangerous.

Listen to everything he says without reservation.

If you want to wrap yourself up warmly, do it, regardless of the opinions of others. Feeling sleepy, run to do it. Suddenly, a person or a whole family became unpleasant, the smell - well, go back to them after giving birth.

Keep and protect your body like a temple!

Seventh - Stop playing sports

If you were involved in any sports before pregnancy, stop all activities. (Including running, cycling, horseback riding, tennis, hiking, aerobics, fitness, gym and, of course, all types of professional sports.)

During pregnancy, you can dance (all dances except sports ones), do gymnastics for pregnant women, swim, and do some yoga asanas.

Eighth - Start taking folic acid

In the first trimester it is very important to take folic acid, as it will lay the foundation proper development and formation of the brain and the entire nervous system baby.

However, I advise you to take folic acid not in tablets, as is customary everywhere, but only from food sources.

The fact is that, according to recent studies, artificially synthesized tablets with folic acid do not have the desired positive effect, their activity and strength fluctuates within 10% of the power that simple spinach can provide.

In addition, American scientists have proven the connection between taking tablets containing folic acid and the occurrence of breast cancer between the ages of 40-50.

We will talk in more detail about natural and artificial vitamins in the section on nutrition, where a separate block of articles will be devoted to this.

So, you will get folic acid only from greens and vegetables, taking into account the fact that you need to get at least 400 mcg per day.

Folic acid content in foods of plant origin:

What recipes can I recommend? Are you trying to get enough folic acid for yourself and your baby?

– So, the very first thing is a green smoothie with spinach (1-2 bunches) and wheat sprouts (greens) (0.5-1 liter daily). Alternate spinach with parsley every 2-3 days.

– Freshly squeezed juice from carrots and beets (0.2-0.5 liters daily)

– Salads with bean sprouts, mung beans, green peas (only raw, not canned), cauliflower and white cabbage, tomatoes.

Ninth - Include foods containing calcium in your diet

Calcium in the body is not only the material that makes up human bone tissue - skeleton, teeth, bones, etc. Calcium is involved in a huge number of processes in the body, More than 179 body functions are known, for which calcium is responsible.

Calcium affects:

• to work all human muscles
• affects the functioning of the heart muscle and the regulation of heart rhythm
• is one of the blood clotting factors
• participates in the formation of the body's antiallergic defense
• relieves pain
• exhibits anti-inflammatory effect
• affects immune processes
• normalizes the function of endocrine glands
• participates in the transmission of nerve impulses

In a pregnant woman's body, a lack of calcium increases the risk of miscarriage and premature birth, hypertension and the development of other complications - eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage etc.

It is quite obvious that a person needs calcium not only during pregnancy, but also in everyday life. Your daily norm is 1500 mg of calcium per day.

However, contrary to popular belief, calcium cannot be obtained from tablets, supplements, calcium cannot be obtained from water, milk, cheese, sour cream and other things.

According to recent studies, calcium in water, tablets, and mineral supplements is inorganic calcium, which is not absorbed by the body; moreover, it is deposited in the most different parts body, causing a lot of problems.

Milk, cheese, and sour cream not only do not add calcium, but also wash it out of the bones.

You can read more about calcium in these two articles:

So, you should get your calcium requirement from these foods:

Recipes:

– Sesame milk

– Cabbage salad with celery, onions, seeds, basil

– Green smoothie

All these recipes are in the article -

Tenth – Include foods containing iodine in your diet

Iodine is very important during pregnancy as it affects work thyroid gland, which provides the body with hormones.

During the first 4 weeks, both you and the baby develop and live off your hormones (mother’s hormones), which are intensively produced by the thyroid gland; at 16 weeks, the placenta comes to the rescue.

Therefore, for the first 3 months you need to ensure that at least 250 mg of iodine enters the body daily.

Sea kale will provide you with your daily dose of iodine; it contains from 500 to 3000 mg of iodine per 100 grams of product.

You can eat it either as a salad or dried, soaking it and adding it to prepared vegetable salads.

Eleventh – N Don't take any vitamins!

Recent studies involving more than 15,000 pregnant women have not confirmed the benefits of taking vitamins.

It has been proven that vitamins are medicines, and not a food additive; they should be taken only if, based on the results of the analysis, they found out that some vitamin is missing, they prescribed it, they drank it and that’s it.

You can’t just “drink” them for health; many of them have no benefit, some simply cannot be absorbed, and some are harmful.

Vitamins must be obtained from food.

Your vitamins for all 9 months are vegetables, fruits and herbs:

We will talk in detail about nutrition, I will write many important articles on this topic because by changing your diet, you can restore yourself completely, get rid of diseases, complications, and prevent all unnecessary diseases in the future for your baby.

Listed above is everything you need to eat to fill your body with folic acid, calcium, iodine and vitamins. Feel free to take the listed products and make up your diet from them.

But remember a few golden rules of nutrition:

1. There is no need to eat for two, the child has enough. There is no need to increase the amount of food significantly. The phrase “eating for two” is not true! Eat as your body asks, but don't overindulge. If your pregnancy is accompanied by nausea and vomiting (vomiting no more than 3-4 times a day and you are not losing weight - this is normal) and you eat almost nothing, do not be afraid, this will not harm the baby, he is still developing at the expense of your reserves.
2. Your diet should consist of: 80% vegetables, fruits and herbs.
3. Fruits and berries should be eaten separately from any other food and preferably in the first half of the day.
4. There should be a lot of greens in your diet every day. 0.5-1 liter of green smoothie is the key to your happiness and health before, during, and after pregnancy.
5. Vegetables should only be eaten raw, as they lose most of their vitamins when cooked.
6. It is necessary to remove animal protein from your diet, this includes meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and all dairy products.
7. You should not drink water/juice/tea and other liquids during meals and immediately after. Drink a glass of clean water 20 minutes before meals or 1 hour after meals.
8. Do not indulge in sweets and starchy foods, such as: cookies, rolls, bread, sweets, gingerbread, etc. Instead, try eating sweet fruits or dried fruits, or at least pure chocolate.
9. Stop drinking carbonated juices and drinks: cola, Fanta and the like. Read the label, there is nothing natural there except water, the rest is chemical compounds that you will never digest, but will only waste your body’s energy to remove them. In addition, all carbonated drinks rapidly remove calcium from your bones, teeth and nails, as well as your baby’s bones.
10. Stop eating canned food, sausages, jams, pates, minced meat. Each canned product contains a lot of chemicals, and no one knows how all this will affect you.
11. Forget the microwave, it destroys more than just everything healthy vitamins, but also changes chemical composition food!
12. Avoid excessive salt consumption, or better yet, give it up altogether. This step will help protect your kidneys and prevent pregnancy complications such as high blood pressure, preeclampsia and eclampsia.
13. Herbs, herbal tinctures and infusions are also medicines, so don’t just take them without clear recommendations. For example, nettle has a very strong effect - it causes contractions, which is useful only after childbirth to remove the placenta and all excess from the uterus, but not during pregnancy.

Thirteenth - Drink water!

Drink 1.5-2 liters of water daily. Please watch this very carefully. In ordinary life, we barely drink a glass, mostly tea, coffee, juices, soups, but not water.

However, all drinks, including clean water, are food for our body.

Only water is immediately absorbed into the blood, thinning it, helps carry oxygen, and all substances to cells.

With a reduced amount of water in the bloodstream (if you drink a glass a day), under a microscope you can see that red blood cells stick together and “float” not one at a time, but in a chain. In this form, red blood cells do not carry enough oxygen.

Because one red blood cell must be surrounded by oxygen; if it sticks together with others, it simply does not have free space where oxygen atoms could attach.

At the same time, the blood thickens, the blood flow slows down, and organs and tissues suffer from hypoxia. We feel weak headache, fatigue, lethargy.

During pregnancy, water is infinitely important, not only does your blood volume increase by 40%, but water is also needed to fill the baby’s pool (amniotic sac), to constantly clean it and renew the water in it, because the mother’s body itself removes everything for itself and for the baby .

Therefore, carry a bottle of water with you everywhere and teach yourself to drink as much as possible.

Water sometimes works wonders - if you have a cold, you can drink only clean water and nothing more, the disease goes away completely in 1-2 days, if you are tired after some kind of exercise, increase the amount of water the next day, you will recover 3-5 times faster.

At the beginning, I know from myself, you don’t seem to want to drink water, you can hardly drink one glass. Everyone is drawn to something sweet and carbonated. But time passes (5-10 days) and you feel that you don’t want anything other than water.

Fourteenth – Register

Next, you need to find a place where you will get tested and where they will give you everything necessary documents (sick leave, exchange card). It could be Women's Consultation or any paid clinic that has a state license to provide “obstetrics and gynecology” services.

The LCD will do all the tests for free, but that’s probably where the benefits end. In a paid clinic there are fewer queues, more attention to you, better equipment. It will be convenient to visit a doctor at 12 weeks, then you can do an examination and an ultrasound.

That's all you need for now! If you have any questions or doubts, please write in the comments to this article, I will be glad to answer you.

Some girls experience the happiness of motherhood at the moment when they want it most. Others cannot get pregnant for years and wait with trepidation for this amazing moment. Still others, on the contrary, realize with horror that perhaps there is already something inside them. new life.

Regardless of the situation, every woman wants to find out about her interesting position. "Am I pregnant? Or is this just a temporary feeling?" Such questions torment almost every representative of the fair sex who is active sex life. Fortunately, today there are many ways that can upset or, conversely, delight a woman.

How to find out if you are pregnant? Of course, the easiest and fastest way is to purchase a special test strip, which helps determine the interesting position based on the chemical changes that occur in female urine.

When they talk about how to determine pregnancy at home, almost everyone voices this method. Today, pharmacies offer a huge variety of these simple products, both more affordable and high price. Pregnancy test is different quick action and accuracy of the result. After a small amount of female urine gets on the strip, a chemical reaction occurs, as a result of which a change in the hCG hormone is determined, which is the main indicator of an interesting situation.

However, before you determine pregnancy at home using a test strip, you need to read its instructions and follow some recommendations. It is best to use this product after a missed period has occurred. Those who want to clarify their situation earlier are recommended to purchase hypersensitivity tests (they cost almost twice as much as standard products). If a woman has doubts, it is better to use several tests at once.

It only takes a few minutes to answer the age-old question: “Am I pregnant?” To determine the interesting position, you need to unpack the test and immerse it in a vessel with morning urine to the specified level for 3-5 minutes, depending on the manufacturer of the product. After this time, just look at the indicator. If 2 stripes are clearly visible on it, then this confirms pregnancy. However, if only one line appears, there is also a chance that the woman is still in an interesting position.

As a rule, false data appears if the woman used diuretics before testing. This leads to too great education fluid, making it more difficult to identify the required hormone. In addition, errors often occur due to heart disease or improper functioning of the kidneys.

Also, the test may be completely useless if the fetus was born outside the uterus. Therefore, those who are wondering: “Am I pregnant?” should understand that similar method determining an interesting position gives a 100% guarantee only if the woman is healthy. Therefore, it is better to play it safe. Moreover, today it is possible to determine the interesting position of a lady using other methods.

How to find out without a test that you are pregnant (or not)

At a time when modern methods were not yet invented, girls paid attention to the slightest nuances to determine their interesting position. Of course, this does not mean various beliefs or predictions. We are talking about very real signs of pregnancy, sensations and so on.

For example, if a lady is in an interesting position, then most likely she will notice that:

• The breasts swelled and became more sensitive. However, such a sign may also be a harbinger of upcoming menstruation. As a rule, a few days before menstruation, girls celebrate increased sensitivity mammary glands. If such symptoms are observed long before menstruation, then you should think about your situation.
• Taste preferences have changed. How else can you get an answer to the question: “Am I pregnant?” First of all, you should pay attention to the products lying in the refrigerator. If your favorite treats now cause disgust, and they have been replaced by completely new products, then perhaps we're talking about about the restructuring of the body caused by pregnancy.

• Sensitivity to odors. This is another symptom of pregnancy. If the smells of her favorite perfumes and deodorants have become literally intolerable for a girl, she experiences headaches and even nausea from her once favorite aromas, then this may indicate that a new life has arisen in her body.
• Toxicosis. Of course, speaking of early symptoms pregnancy, it is worth mentioning morning sickness. However, this ailment can also be caused by poisoning or other ailments. Therefore, it all depends on how the woman feels throughout the day.

• Changes psychological state. Since during pregnancy, hormones in a woman’s body begin to literally jump, this leads to frequent mood changes. A pregnant woman can start crying for no reason and also quickly turn to laughter. Increased emotionality can also be the answer to the question: “Am I pregnant?”
• Drowsiness and fatigue. If a woman begins to get tired very quickly and constantly wants to sleep for no apparent reason, then this may be one of the signs of pregnancy. However, increased fatigue can also be caused by other ailments or increased work volumes.
• Heaviness in the lower abdomen. Anyone who asks the question: “Am I pregnant and what signs may indicate this?” should pay attention to their feelings in abdominal cavity. When any kind of change occurs in the uterus, it affects bladder and others internal organs. Because of this, ladies begin to experience discomfort and nagging pain. However, similar symptoms are also observed before the onset of menstruation. For example, a girl may start going to the toilet more often.
• The appearance of discharge. If marks begin to remain on your underwear, this can be regarded as one of the signs of pregnancy. However, in this case it is worth being vigilant. If the discharge is too abundant and is accompanied by the appearance unpleasant odor, then it is more likely to say that the girl is suffering from an infection genitourinary system. In such a situation, you must immediately contact a specialist to undergo the necessary tests.

These pregnancy symptoms and their descriptions are not a 100% guarantee that the woman is in an interesting position. However, if a representative of the fair sex observes serious changes in taste preferences and favorite aromas, experiences lethargy and morning sickness, then these symptoms are very much reminiscent of entering the first stage of bearing a baby. There are also other signs that can help girls answer the question: “How can I tell if I’m pregnant without a test?”

Basal temperature

This method of determining an interesting position is most often used by ladies who want to become mothers. In this case, the woman should be aware of her health status, the beginning menstrual cycle and days of ovulation. The fact is that it is on these dates that the likelihood of getting pregnant increases significantly. To determine the onset of ovulation, you need to be sure that your periods pass without interruption at a certain time. You should also make sure that the girl does not suffer from infectious or other ailments.

To determine ovulation, you need to use a thermometer, with which you need to measure body temperature through the rectum. It is best to carry out such manipulations immediately after sleep, since in this case the data will be more accurate. Approximately in the middle of the cycle, a jump in temperature occurs - this is ovulation. The indicators remain at approximately 37 degrees throughout the second half of the cycle, and by the beginning of the new one they fall again. If the thermometer shows elevated temperature then, when menstruation should already begin, and they don’t either, this may indicate that a new life has arisen inside the lady and she will have to decide whether she is ready to become a mother.

However, most young girls who are wondering, “How do I know if I’m pregnant?” don’t keep an ovulation chart, and sometimes aren’t even sure when exactly their period should start. In this case, you can try more simple methods, which will help determine an interesting situation without purchasing expensive tests.

How to find out if you are pregnant or not: other ways

Several centuries ago, women actively used methods traditional medicine to solve a wide variety of problems. Today the situation has not changed much; many girls still trust more in the proven methods that their grandmothers taught them.

However, it is worth considering that this practice is not accurate. Therefore, to obtain more definitive results, it is still worth using the tools modern medicine. Nevertheless, many will be interested in learning other ways that used to help establish an interesting position for ladies.

Onions

Today this ritual is more perceived as a joke. In order to determine pregnancy, you need to write “pregnant” on one glass and “not pregnant” on the other. After this, one onion is placed in the dish. To establish an interesting position, just wait until the onion starts to sprout in which glass. This is a kind of fortune telling with a chamomile, only new way. Is it worth checking pregnancy this way? Just for fun.

Dreams

Of course, there used to be a huge number of beliefs associated with dreams. Women's pregnancy was no exception. On the one hand, women do have better intuition. On the other hand, dreams are not always an omen of the future. If you think about elephants all day, it is not surprising that your brain will project similar images during sleep.

However, those who believe in superstitions will be interested in learning how to determine pregnancy at home based on their dreams.

So, there is an opinion that expectant mothers dream of water and fish swimming in it. Others don't think too much and say that they saw small children before learning the news about their pregnancy. However, this can also be explained by an elementary fixation on one’s desires.

Pulse

This is another dubious one, but interesting way how to determine pregnancy at home. To do this, the woman should place her palm on her stomach just below the navel. If she feels a pulsation, this means that she will soon become a mother. In this regard, the word “soon” is really relevant. Indeed, in order to feel the fetal heartbeat without additional equipment or ultrasound, the gestational age must be extremely impressive. During this period, a woman will be able to determine her interesting position by her greatly enlarged belly.

If the so-called pulsations are felt several weeks after sexual intercourse, then this is most likely a common self-hypnosis.

Soda

This is a kind of analogue of a pregnancy test. Only in this case, data is obtained based on the level of acid-base balance in the woman’s urine.

Before determining pregnancy without a test, you need to prepare a small container. You need to pour a little morning urine into it and add one spoon of soda. After that you just have to wait chemical reaction. If the soda immediately begins to hiss, then this indicates increased acidity, accordingly, the lady is not in a position. If the dry component simply precipitates, then this may be a sign of too high an alkaline balance, which is typical during pregnancy.

However, regardless of the chosen method, you need to understand that each person’s body has its own characteristics. Therefore, you should not make hasty conclusions based on dreams or other dubious methods.

Fetal development is very cognitive process. However, not everyone, for example, knows that from 3 weeks of age to 8 weeks, the human embryo is endowed with a tail, which simply disappears during the development of the fetus.

Many people believe that pregnancy lasts 9 months. Usually yes, but doctors recorded the longest gestation of the fetus, which was as much as 375 days. What is noteworthy is that the child was born completely healthy and did not differ from other newborns in weight. But the fastest woman to bear a child was one woman who was in an interesting position for only 22 weeks. The baby was born really tiny, his height was slightly larger than an ordinary ballpoint pen.

Of course, everyone dreams of seeing someone writhing in pain and other ailments at least once. Such cases are becoming more common today, but we are talking about people who have changed their sex. The first man to officially give birth to a baby was Thomas Beatty, who was once a woman, and then decided not to deny himself the pleasure of experiencing motherhood, despite his gender change.

According to statistics, over the past 10 years, cases of caesarean section increased in frequency by 40%. Is this due to women's poor health or their reluctance to go through natural childbirth, not clear.

In conclusion

There are many ways to determine whether you are pregnant or not. However, you should not treat this issue negligently. If a woman wants to carry and give birth healthy baby, then it is better to consult a specialist and undergo an examination at an early stage.
