The Importance Of Knowing Your Pregnancy Calendar |
Are you planning to get pregnant soon? Well, here is a detailed pregnancy calendar for you, which will guide you through the entire nine months.
Once your ovulation occurs, an egg is released and is ready to be fertilized. If a brave sperm manages to catch its attention and teams up with it, your little zygote could be waiting to travel the whole nine yards!
The 16-cell ball egg divides into two. The first half becomes the placenta and the other becomes your little one in the making! Your bust size might already be increasing and your breasts could be feeling a little tender by this time.
This is the most joyous time, as your baby’s heart starts beating. Slowly by the next week, its eyes and digestive system starts developing. Small arms and legs start forming too! By week 10, your child’s genitalia and anal membrane start forming.
Your pregnancy may start showing by week 15 and you start glowing with good health. Remember to eat a balanced diet, rich in mineral, iron, protein and calcium. You are into your second trimester and most of the troubles you faced in the previous trimester are through right now.
By week 17, the baby’s sucking reflexes start developing and you can get to hear the heartbeat clearly with the aid of the doctor’s special Delee Stethoscope by week 20! Isn’t that simply lovely?!
By week 25, your baby’s organs, bones and blood vessels start forming. Also, her skin turns a translucent pink or red. In the next couple of weeks, your baby’s lungs start to expand. Be extra cautious about your movements. Your tummy is really ballooning out, so you should move around carefully. Get to know all about delivery and breastfeeding from your doctor. Be totally prepared for the joyous experience of childbirth.
Your amniotic fluid is far reduced now and you can expect to deliver very soon. Your little one’s skin starts wrinkling due to this perfectly natural process.
Remember, our pregnancy calendar only gives you an estimate of your child’s development. If you have crossed your due date, do not worry. Your little angel is due any minute now! Just wait patiently and enjoy the whole journey!
