How to understand pregnancy?
Although the most important finding of pregnancy is menstrual delay, not every menstrual delay means pregnancy. Many factors such as stress, various disorders, psychological problems and diet can also delay menstruation.
The ideal age for having a baby is between 18 and 35 years old. At the beginning of this period, the female body completes its development and becomes suitable for infant development.
Regardless of your age or position, when you want to conceive or think you are pregnant, you should consult a specialist.
When does pregnancy start?
Pregnancy begins when the sperm from the man fertilizes the egg cell, which is thrown from the ovaries of the woman. The period from this moment until the end of the 8th week is called the embryonic period. The period from the eighth week to the birth is called the fetal period.
how is pregnancy age calculated?
When calculating the gestational age, it is not considered as a criterion on the day of the relationship thought to be pregnant. The first day of the last menstrual bleeding (SAT, last menstrual date) is taken as the beginning of pregnancy in order to provide a standard in the world and terminology. Months are not used when calculating gestational age. Pregnancy in humans lasts 280 days. That would be 40 weeks. As a result, pregnancy is defined as a week and the onset is based on the first day of the last menstrual bleeding.
How is the baby's birth date calculated?
There is a very simple way to calculate the baby's expected birth date (CBT): Add 7 days and subtract 3 months. In this system called Negele method, SAT is added 7 days and 3 months back. To explain an example, let us consider a mother who is on the first day of her last menstruation, July 7.
The expected delivery date for this patient is 14 April. However, only 5 percent of babies are born on this date. Babies born between 38 weeks and 42 weeks are considered normal, whereas those born before 38 weeks are termed postterm. Prematurity, on the other hand, is an expression that describes the development of the baby, not the age. For example, a baby born at 36 weeks of gestation is premature, although it is premature, but it is not premature if it has completed lung development.

Pregnancy tests
The sooner you learn that you are pregnant, the sooner you can start care about pregnancy. Therefore, every woman who has menstrual delay should have a pregnancy test. With the occurrence of pregnancy, some hormones are secreted from the pregnancy product.
These pregnancy-specific hormones interrupt the menstrual cycle of the woman and the woman does not have menstruation during pregnancy. Pregnancy can be diagnosed by the determination of these hormones in blood and urine. The hormone in the blood can show pregnancy even before there is a menstrual delay. In urine, pregnancy can be detected after a delay of 7-10 days.
The reliability of commercially available self-tests is slightly lower than in the laboratory. Therefore, women who have a menstrual delay and whose self-test is negative should inform their physicians and follow their recommendations.
Affective changes
In the first 3 months of pregnancy, some psychological changes may occur in the expectant mother. When a person is very cheerful, he may be caught in crying crises at once. Some days are very nervous, while others can be calm. As the body adapts to pregnancy, these problems gradually disappear. However, in the last weeks of pregnancy a restlessness may occur. The person may be nervous, excited, and sleep problems may occur. These are situations where you should not worry too much. Almost every woman experiences these feelings.
Likewise, some changes may be seen in the father-to-be. He may have concerns about his wife's condition and will be unable to help him if he does not know about it. For this reason, couples can benefit from their experiences by talking with friends who have had such an experience before them. However, it should be remembered that the most professional assistance can be obtained from a specialist physician.
When are baby movements first felt?
Women who have already given birth show their experience in this area. These women generally feel that the baby is playing around the 16th week, while those who experience their first pregnancy meet this feeling in the 19-20th week.
How often is a doctor's check necessary?
Once a month for up to 32 weeks, every 15 days from 32 to 36 weeks, and from this date until delivery, check-ups are required. In these controls, some basic examinations are performed, the development of the baby and the pregnant is checked and it is determined whether it complies with the standards, and if a possible abnormality is detected in the baby or the pregnant, treatments are planned and carried out, and special examinations and investigations are performed in some special pregnancies. For your baby and your own health, do not forget to visit your doctor regularly during pregnancy.
When is the baby's sex certain?
In fact, the sex of the baby is evident as soon as fertilization occurs. The only determinant here is the genus of sperm from the father. If the sperm carries the Y chromosome, the baby is a boy and the X chromosome, the baby is a girl. However, the determination of this sex is only possible when the external genitalia is large enough to be seen by ultrasound. Usually 14-16. The experienced eyes can determine the infant gender as of weeks.
Diagnostic biopsy of the baby by tissue taken from the baby's sex is determined with 100 percent accuracy, but only if there is a medical requirement. Not only for gender determination.
