PREGNANCY SICKNESS!

FOETAL DEVELOPMENT

IN FIRST MONTH

THE EMBRYO IS ENCLOSED WITHIN TWO MEMBRANES, THE INNER AMNION AND THE OUTER CHORION WHICH CONSIST A BAG OF MEMBRANE CALLED THE AMNIOTIC SAC. THIS IS FILLED WITH AMNIOTIC FLUID, WHICH PROTECTS THE FOETUS AND ALSO ALLOWS FREE MOVEMENT AND UNIFORM GROWTH OF THE FOETUS.
EMBRYO DEVELOPS A BRAIN, SPINEAND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND FOUR SHALLOW PITS APPEAR ON THE HEAD, WHICH WILL LATER BECOME THE BABY'S EYES AND EARS.
THE EMBRYO HAS THE BEGINNINGS OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, MOUTH AND JAW. THE STOMACH AND CHEST ARE DEVELOPING. THE HEART CAN BE SEEN AS A LARGE BULGE AT THE FRONT OF THE CHEST, BY THE END OF THE MOUTH IT STARTS BEATING. A SYSTEM OF BLOOD VESSELS IS FORMING.
FOUR TINY LIMB BUDS DEVELOP AND LENGTH OF THE EMBRYO BECOMES 6 MM (1/4 ) ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN APPLE SEED.

FOETAL DEVELOPMENT

SECOND MONTH

DEVELOPEMENT IS VERY RAPID DURING THE SECOND MONTH. BY THE END OF THE SECOND MONTH, MAJOR BODY ORGANS AND BODY SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE BRAIN, LUNGS, LIVER, AND STOMACH BEGIN TO DEVELOP.
THE FIRST BONE CELLS APPEAR DURING THIS TIME.
EYELIDS FORM AND GROW BUT REMAIN SEALED SHUT, THE INNER EAR IS FORMING. ANKLES, TOES, WRISTS, FINGERS, AND SEXUAL ORGANS ARE DEVELOPING.
AT THE END OF THER SECOND MONTH OF PREGNANCY, THE BABY LOOKS LIKE A TINY HUMAN INFANT. IF IT IS A BOY, THE PENIS WILL BEGIN TO APPEAR.

FOETAL DEVELOPMENT

IN THIRD MONTH

BABY IS COMPLETELY FORMED BY THE END OF THE THIRD MONTH. THE FINGERS AND TOES ARE NOW MORE DISTINCT AND HAVE SOFT NAILS. THE BABY'S HANDS ARE MORE DEVELOPED THAN THE FEET AND THE ARMS ARE LONGER THAN THE LEGS.
THE HEAD IS QUITE LARGE COMPARED TO THE REST OF ITS BODY. FUZZY HAIR BEGINS TO FORM ON THE LITTLE ONE'S HEAD. THE COLOUR OF THE HAIR IS WHITE (UNPIGMENTED).
ACCESSORY APPARATUS PLACENTA, UMBILICAL CORD AND AMNIOTIC SAC DEVELOP TO MAJURITY.
ALL IMPORTANT EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FEATURES CONTINUE TO DEVELOP. BABY'S VOCAL CORDS BEGIN TO DEVELOP. THE LIVER BEGINS TO SECRETE BILE AND THE PANCREAS TO PRODUCE INSULIN.
ALL TWENTY BABY TEETH ARE FORMED AND WAIT BENEATH HIS GUMS UNTIL WELL AFTER BIRTH. HOWEVER, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE A BABY IS BORN WITH TEETH ALREADY SHOWING.
THE HEART HAS FOUR CHAMBERS AND BEATS AT 120 TO 160 BEATS PER MINUTE. KIDNEYS ARE NOW DEVELOPED AND START DRAINING URINE INTO THE BLADDER. INTESTINES HAVE FORMED OUTSIDE OF THE BABY (ON THE UMBILICAL CORD) BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIT INSIDE THE BABY.
BY THE END OF THIS MOUTH, THE UMBILICAL CORD, WHICH CARRIES NUTRIENTS TO YOUR BABY AND TAKES WASTES AWAY, WILL BE FULLY FORMED.
AT THE END OF THIRD MONTH, BABY WEIGHS JUST OVER 1 OUNCE AND IS ABOUT 4 INCHES.

MORNING SICKNESS

COMMONLY KNOWN AS NAUSES AND VOMITING, MORNING SICKNESS IS MOST LIKELY ONE OF THE FIRST PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS TO BE EXPERIENCED. ONE AN AVERAGE AT LEAST 60 PERCENT TO 80 PERCENT WOMEN EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. CONTRARY TO WHAT THE TERM MAY SUGGEST, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS OR ONLY, OCCURS IN THE MORNING. AN INCREASE IN MORNING SICKNESS CAN BE EXPERIENCED AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. IT STARTS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE FOURTH AND SIXTH WEEK OF PREGNANCY AND IS, THEREFORE, ONE OF THE FIRST PREGNANCY SIGNS. FOR MOST WOMEN, MORNING SICKNESS DISAPPEARS BY THE 14 TH TO 16TH WEEK. SOME WOMEN EXPERIENCE MORNING SICKNESS THROUGHOUT THEIR PREGNANCY.

CAUSES OF MORNING SICKNESS

crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

EXCESSIVE HORMONE PRODUCTION IN EARLY PREGNANCY DISTURBS THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL BALANCES WHICH LEAD TO GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES.
TENSIONS, ANXIETIES, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRESS OF THE MOTHER WHILE DEALING WITH CHANGES IN PREGNANCY.
FAD DIETS, POOR NUTRITIONS, DISTUBED SCHEDULES ARE MAIN CAUSES OF MORNING SICKNESS.
HYPERSENSITIVITY TO DIFFERENT SMELLS DURING PREGNANCY IS ALSO A FACTOR.

STRESS FREE PREGNANCY!

STRESS👀👀

STRESS HAS AFFECTED VIRTUALLY EVERYONE FROM A PRE-SCHOOL CHILD TO ADOLESCENT CHILDREN, FROM YOUNG WORKING WOMEN TO HOUSEWIVES TO WOMEN PAST MIDDLE AGE, FROM MEN DEALING WITH DAY TO DAY PRESSURE IN THEIR JOB TO THE ELDERLY PEOPLE GETTING ADJUSTED TO THEIR RETIREMENTS AND CHANGED LIFESTYLES.

STRESS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE BIGGEST RESPONSIBLE FACTOR FOR THE DECREASE IN THE LEVEL OF TESTOSTERONE AND LOW SPERM COUNT. ON THE OTHER HAND, IN FEMALES THE STRESS AFFECTS THE GLANDULAR SYSTEM RESULTING IN DISTURBED MENSTRUATION CYCLE RESPONSIBLE FOR INABILITY TO CONCEIVE.

MEDITATION

THIS SHORT SCHEDULE WILL TAKE 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR OF YOUR DAY AND WILL PROVIDE THE OPTIMUM ENERGY AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO DEAL WITH EVERY SITUATION IN LIFE. ONCE YOU ARE DE-STRESSED, THE REPRODUCTUVE HORMONES ARE SECRETED IN RIGHT QUANTITIES BY THE BODY AND YOU BECOME BETTER PREPARED TO CONCEIVE.

THE AFORESAID YOGIC TECHNIQUE WILL BECOME EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE WHEN PRACTICED ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING DIETARY MODIFICATIONS.

DIET THERAPY

THE DIET DURING STRESS SHOULD BE SUCH THAT IT HAS INGREDIENTS WHICH ARE KNOWN TO SUPPRESS THE BIO-CHEMICAL CHANGES CAUSING STRESS. EMOTIONAL EATING OR EATING TOO MUCH SHOULD BE CONSCIOUSLY AVOIDED. RESEARCHES PROVE THAT PEOLE WHO EAT NATURAL FOODS, WHOLE GRAIN CEREALS, JAGGERY INSTEAD OF SUGAR, WHOLE FRUITS, SEASONAL FRESH RAW VEGATABLES ARE LESS PRONE TO STRESS THAN THOSE WHO HAVE IRREGULAR DIET CYCLES AND EAT FAD DIETS.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS

ALL VITAMINS ARE IMPORTANT BUT VITAMIN C OR ASCORBIC ACID PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN RELEASE OF THE TWO HORMONES - EPINEPHRINE AND NOREPINEPHRINE FROM THE ADRENAL GLANDS OF THE BODY. THESE HORMONES HELP THE BODY TO DEAL WITH STRESSFUL SITUATIONS LIKE DAY-TO-DAY TENSIONS, STRESSESS OF INFECTIONS AND INJURY ALSO.
