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 

                                    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.

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