What changes occur in the female body at the very beginning of pregnancy and what symptoms are the first signs of the news of such a delicate situation. Why is the beginning of pregnancy so important for the further development of the fetus? About this in our article.
After 12 hours after fertilization, the egg begins to divide into two cells connected by a septum, but then this septum disappears and a morula forms. So doctors called the cell, which in the future will become an embryo. The next week, the division and growth of the embryo, as well as its promotion into the uterus, is the final destination. The beginning of pregnancy looks something like this, which the expectant mother does not even know about.
Somewhere on day 7-8, the
fetal egg, already in the uterine cavity, begins the process of fixing in it. From this very moment, a woman can already feel some changes occurring in her body.
After attachment of the embryo in the female body, hormonal restructuring begins. The vital activity of the fetus is completely carried out at the expense of the female body, since a single circle of blood circulation appears for the mother and child. This is the beginning of pregnancy the woman herself already feels and understands well, this can be confirmed by a test or gynecologist.
Symptoms of an Interesting Position
How to find out about a pregnancy before critical days?
The answer to this question is simple for those who maintain a constant schedule for measuring basal temperature. During the onset of pregnancy, the temperature decreases, usually by one day.
For everyone else - even a hypersensitive test will show the beginning of pregnancy only from the first day of the delay. And with the help of ultrasound, pregnancy can also be determined only in the third week. But 1 month still has some characteristic symptoms of pregnancy . And this:
hypersensitivity of the breast, in particular, nipples;
a sharp change can be observed, and without any apparent reason, temperature or pressure;
nausea, vomiting and headache, which may appear already from the second week of pregnancy;
heartburn or bloating;
increased intolerance to various odors;
aversion to certain foods and a special love for others.
Quite often, symptoms of malaise and increased fatigue, which appear, as a rule, due to hormonal changes and the body's habituation to a new role, will mark the beginning of pregnancy.
The threat of miscarriage in the first weeks
The first month is very important for the onset of pregnancy for several reasons:
taking hormonal contraceptives may continue , which will certainly provoke spontaneous abortion;
drinking alcohol or nicotine also adversely affects the fetus;
strong medications can lead to genetic abnormalities of the fetus and cause the development of some intrauterine abnormalities.
But at the stage of “early pregnancy”, the fetus lives on the principle of “all or nothing”, i.e. if in the first few weeks the fetus managed to survive under the influence of some unfavorable factors, then, most likely, the fetus will develop normally. If not, i.e. If a spontaneous abortion occurs, then most likely the woman will not even feel anything, because the size of the fetus is still too small. The only manifestation is a bit late menstruation.
