Stages Of Pregnancy

             Okay, let we come to see the stages of pregnancy....

CONCEPTION

     when you are expecting u will be eager to develop strong bonding with the baby as most of the mother wish to. You also want to give him(the baby) the best you could as a mother. But you had no clue an what to do or how to do. By luck, i came across some bits and pieces of information from magazines, books and by word of mouth from experts and of course, from our seniors.

   

  During this time, for keeping yourself interesting and most importantly stress-free involve in any music, educational courses, spiritual discourse etc., And also when ever you find time keep yourself communicate with the unborn baby psychologically and sometimes verbally too!!! Belive it or not it will give a observe marked difference in him. I practically experienced the amazing results if expecting mothers voluntarily practice proper bonding and stimulation techniques.

DEVELOPMENT

    

    During pregnancy, the woman undergoes many physiological changes, which are entirely normal, including cardiovascular, hematologic, metabolic, renal and respiratory changes. I start hunting for information on the Internet, Books and CDs. This unique and important article has been developed to provide the right atmosphere to grow a child genius and to enhance the mental, emotional and spiritual development of the child, right from the time of the child's conception for the expecting mother through various methods. 

   The methods include meditation, yoga, breathing exercise, mental stimulation and bonding techniques.This article gives you the ways to give birth to a well balanced child by acquiring self development skills and practicing them. It also makes them aware of the dos and don'ts during pregnancy and the resultant benefits.

FETAL DEVELOPMENT

      The full development in uterus takes 9 months + 7 days = 267 day. The head turns down in 32 - 34 weeks (for 1st delivery) & 36 - 38 weeks (for 2nd delivery)

Conception

Fallopian tube: A sperm must swim all the way from your vagina up through your cervix and uterus and into the fallopian tube to fertilize the egg.
Ovary: One of your eggs has broken out of its follicle in the ovary and been swept into the fallopian tube.
Ovum: Once a sperm burrows through the outer membrane to penetrate the ovum, or egg, their genetic material combines to form a new cell that soon starts rapidly dividing.
Sperm: All it takes is one sperm out of about 250 million in the average ejaculation to fertilize the egg.
