I'm pregnant - what should I do? Step-by-step instruction. You have the right! Labor guarantees and benefits for pregnant women

Very often women call me with questions like: “I found out that I’m pregnant, where to start? What to do? Where to run? What should I take? I decided it would be easier to write a detailed short guide than to tell everything again every time

This article is your quick guide to a new country for you - “pregnancy”. Then you will learn everything you can and will be perfectly oriented in all signs and conditions. In the meantime, I'll give you quick quick tips– what to do, what to quit, what to eat and drink, what vitamins to take, and others.

So, the first 15 steps:

First - Take a pregnancy test and donate blood for hCG

At the first suspicion, we take a pregnancy test; start taking it no earlier than 1-2 weeks of your missed period. Previously, he may not show anything.

If in doubt, you can donate blood to test for the hormone secreted by fertilized egg– chorioganadotropin (hCG).

It is IMPORTANT not to do an ultrasound to determine pregnancy!

For some reason, everyone immediately thinks that they need to run to an ultrasound and register. This is not true!

Ultrasound has a very strong effect on the embryo, and can be done no earlier than 12 weeks.

To make sure that you are pregnant, it is enough to donate blood for hCG. This is a very accurate analysis and does not interfere with the development of the fetus.

Second – Tell your husband and family

After you are sure that you are pregnant, you can tell your husband and family about your happiness. If the pregnancy is unplanned, be patient and gentle.

Tell your husband first, preferably in writing, leave a note in the morning, write that you are pregnant and discuss everything in the evening. Give him time to recover from this news. Then you can tell your family.

Whom to tell is up to you. But many girls do this - until 3-4 months they tell only those closest to them, and then they tell everyone.

I think this is a completely justified decision; the first trimester, as a rule, is the most important and difficult for both the baby and you.

Third -Change the pace of life

Of course, pregnancy will require you to change your rhythm and lifestyle. First of all, exhale and relax.

100% of all expectant mothers feel tension, fear and uncertainty in the first days of pregnancy. And this is natural, there is no need to blame yourself for this.

You are on the verge of big changes and don’t yet know whether you can cope with them or not. But you still have 9 months to get used to it.

Although I know from experience the sensations of future motherhood will come already in the second trimester, and when you feel the baby’s first movements, you will understand how strong the feeling of motherhood is in you, and how natural this process is.

In the meantime slow down your pace– try to rest more and more often. If you have a minute, sit, or better yet, lie down.

I often hear, but how to rest is still scheduled - there’s not a minute, where can I get the time. The answer is simple and at the same time very complex - discard EVERYTHING unnecessary. And what is not superfluous - sleep, food, water.

Everything else can be discarded or put aside: a cafe with a friend, phone calls, work, household chores, movies, books, shopping. Just wait until the 2nd trimester, it will be easier there, and you can make up for everything.

Moreover, your body will help you with this; in the first trimester, all mothers complain of very high fatigue and constant desire sleep.

Fourth – Stop smoking and drinking alcohol immediately

As soon as we found out about the pregnancy, stop smoking, drinking alcohol immediately even in small doses, even wine and beer. The consequences may be completely unpredictable.

Every day of the first trimester there is a huge amount of work going on, the cells of the fetus are dividing at an incredible speed, the foundation of all organs, systems, cells and tissues is being laid. Any interference in this process can cause great harm.

Fifth – Stop taking medications and any treatment

If you are taking any medications, are undergoing or are about to undergo treatment - stop immediately.

Go to your doctor at the antenatal clinic and tell him what medications you are taking, the doctor will change the treatment method.

You will treat any ailment during pregnancy differently than you are used to, so if you feel signs of a cold, do not run for Fervex or aspirin.

Most drugs Do not take during pregnancy!

Check out the section , you can find there the answer to the question of whether you can take this or that medicine during pregnancy.

Sixth – Start listening carefully to yourself

Pregnancy is the time when you hear your inner voice clearer than ever. He protects you from everything harmful and dangerous.

Listen to everything he says without reservation.

If you want to wrap yourself up warmly, do it, regardless of the opinions of others. Feeling sleepy, run to do it. Suddenly some person became unpleasant or whole family, the smell - well, you’ll return to them after giving birth.

Keep and protect your body like a temple!

Seventh - Stop playing sports

If you were involved in any sports before pregnancy, stop all activities. (Including running, cycling, horseback riding, tennis, hiking, aerobics, fitness, gym and, of course, all types of professional sports.)

During pregnancy, you can dance (all dances except sports), do gymnastics for pregnant women, swim, and do some yoga asanas.

Eighth - Start taking folic acid

In the first trimester, it is very important to take folic acid, as it will lay the foundation proper development and formation of the brain and the entire nervous system baby.

However, I advise you to take folic acid not in tablets, as is customary everywhere, but only from food sources.

The fact is that, according to recent studies, artificially synthesized tablets with folic acid do not have the desired positive effect, their activity and strength fluctuates within 10% of the power that simple spinach can provide.

In addition, American scientists have proven the connection between taking tablets containing folic acid and the occurrence of breast cancer between the ages of 40-50.

We will talk in more detail about natural and artificial vitamins in the section on nutrition, where a separate block of articles will be devoted to this.

So, you will get folic acid only from greens and vegetables, taking into account the fact that you need to get at least 400 mcg per day.

Folic acid content in plant foods:

What recipes can I recommend? Are you trying to get enough folic acid for yourself and your baby?

– So, the very first thing is a green smoothie with spinach (1-2 bunches) and wheat sprouts (greens) (0.5-1 liter daily). Alternate spinach with parsley every 2-3 days.

– Freshly squeezed juice from carrots and beets (0.2-0.5 liters daily)

– Salads with bean sprouts, mung beans, green peas (only raw, not canned), cauliflower and white cabbage, tomato.

Ninth - Include foods containing calcium in your diet

Calcium in the body is not only the material that makes up human bone tissue - skeleton, teeth, bones, etc. Calcium is involved in a huge number of processes in the body, More than 179 body functions are known, for which calcium is responsible.

Calcium affects:

• to work all human muscles
• affects the functioning of the heart muscle and the regulation of heart rhythm
• is one of the blood clotting factors
• participates in the formation of the body's antiallergic defense
• relieves pain
• exhibits anti-inflammatory effect
• affects immune processes
• normalizes the function of endocrine glands
• participates in the transmission of nerve impulses

In a pregnant woman's body, calcium deficiency increases the risk of miscarriage and premature birth, hypertension and the development of other complications - eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage etc.

It is quite obvious that a person needs calcium not only during pregnancy, but also during ordinary life. Your daily norm is 1500 mg of calcium per day.

However, contrary to popular belief, calcium cannot be obtained from tablets, supplements, calcium cannot be obtained from water, milk, cheese, sour cream and other things.

According to recent studies, calcium in water, tablets, and mineral supplements is inorganic calcium, which is not absorbed by the body; moreover, it is deposited in various parts of the body, causing a lot of problems.

Milk, cheese, and sour cream not only do not add calcium, but also wash it out of the bones.

You can read more about calcium in these two articles:

So, you should get your calcium requirement from these foods:

Recipes:

– Sesame milk

– Cabbage salad with celery, onions, seeds, basil

– Green smoothie

All these recipes are in the article -

Tenth – Include foods containing iodine in your diet

Iodine is very important during pregnancy as it affects work thyroid gland, which provides the body with hormones.

During the first 4 weeks, both you and the baby develop and live off your hormones (mother’s hormones), which are intensively produced by the thyroid gland; at 16 weeks, the placenta comes to the rescue.

Therefore, for the first 3 months you need to ensure that at least 250 mg of iodine enters the body daily.

Provides you with your daily dose of iodine seaweed, it contains from 500 to 3000 mg of iodine per 100 grams of product.

You can eat it either as a salad or dried, soaking it and adding it to prepared vegetable salads.

Eleventh – N Don't take any vitamins!

Recent studies involving more than 15,000 pregnant women have not confirmed the benefits of taking vitamins.

It has been proven that vitamins are medicines, and not a food additive; they should be taken only if, based on the results of the analysis, they found out that some vitamin is missing, they prescribed it, they drank it and that’s it.

You can’t just “drink” them for your health; many of them have no benefit, some are simply not absorbed, and some are harmful.

Vitamins must be obtained from food.

Your vitamins for all 9 months are vegetables, fruits and herbs:

We will talk in detail about nutrition, I will write many important articles on this topic because by changing your diet, you can restore yourself completely, get rid of diseases, complications, and prevent all unnecessary diseases in the future for your baby.

Listed above is everything you need to eat to fill your body with folic acid, calcium, iodine and vitamins. Feel free to take the listed products and make up your diet from them.

But remember a few golden rules of nutrition:

1. There is no need to eat for two, the child has enough. There is no need to increase the amount of food significantly. The phrase “eating for two” is not true! Eat as your body asks, but don't overindulge. If your pregnancy is accompanied by nausea and vomiting (vomiting no more than 3-4 times a day and you are not losing weight - this is normal) and you eat almost nothing, do not be afraid, this will not harm the baby, he is still developing at the expense of your reserves.
2. Your diet should consist of: 80% vegetables, fruits and herbs.
3. Fruits and berries should be eaten separately from any other food and preferably in the first half of the day.
4. There should be a lot of greens in your diet every day. 0.5-1 liter of green smoothie is the key to your happiness and health before, during, and after pregnancy.
5. Vegetables should only be eaten raw, as they lose most of their vitamins when cooked.
6. It is necessary to remove animal protein from your diet, this includes meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and all dairy products.
7. You should not drink water/juice/tea and other liquids during meals and immediately after. Drink a glass of clean water 20 minutes before meals or 1 hour after meals.
8. Do not indulge in sweets and starchy foods, such as cookies, rolls, bread, sweets, gingerbread, etc. Instead, try eating sweet fruits or dried fruits, or at least pure chocolate.
9. Stop drinking carbonated juices and drinks: cola, Fanta and the like. Read the label, there is nothing natural except water, the rest is chemical compounds that you will never digest, but will only waste your body’s energy to remove them. In addition, all carbonated drinks rapidly remove calcium from your bones, teeth and nails, as well as your baby’s bones.
10. Stop eating canned food, sausages, jams, pates, minced meat. Each canned product There is a lot of chemistry involved, and no one knows how all this will affect you.
11. Forget about microwave oven, it destroys not only everything healthy vitamins, but also changes the chemical composition of food!
12. Avoid excessive salt consumption, or better yet, give it up altogether. This step will help protect your kidneys and prevent pregnancy complications such as high blood pressure, preeclampsia and eclampsia.
13. Herbs, herbal tinctures and infusions are also medicines, so do not just take them without clear instructions. For example, nettle has a very strong effect - it causes contractions, which is useful only after childbirth to remove the placenta and all excess from the uterus, but not during pregnancy.

Thirteenth - Drink water!

Drink 1.5-2 liters of water daily. Please watch this very carefully. In ordinary life, we barely drink a glass, mostly tea, coffee, juices, soups, but not water.

However, all drinks, including clean water, are food for our body.

Only water is immediately absorbed into the blood, thinning it, helps carry oxygen, and all substances to cells.

With a reduced amount of water in the bloodstream (if you drink a glass a day), under a microscope you can see that red blood cells stick together and “float” not one at a time, but in a chain. In this form, red blood cells do not carry enough oxygen.

Because one red blood cell must be surrounded by oxygen; if it sticks together with others, it simply does not have free space, where oxygen atoms could attach.

At the same time, the blood thickens, the blood flow slows down, and organs and tissues suffer from hypoxia. We feel weak headache, fatigue, lethargy.

During pregnancy, water is infinitely important, not only does your blood volume increase by 40%, but water is also needed to fill the baby’s pool (amniotic sac), to constantly clean it and renew the water in it, because the mother’s body itself removes everything for itself and for the baby .

Therefore, carry a bottle of water with you everywhere and teach yourself to drink as much as possible.

Water sometimes works wonders - if you have a cold, you can drink only clean water and nothing more, the disease goes away completely in 1-2 days, if you are tired after some kind of exercise, increase the amount of water the next day, you will recover 3-5 times faster.

At the beginning, I know from myself, you don’t seem to want to drink water, you can hardly drink one glass. Everyone is drawn to something sweet and carbonated. But time passes (5-10 days) and you feel that you don’t want anything other than water.

Fourteenth – Register

Next, you need to find a place where you will get tested and where they will give you everything Required documents (sick leave, exchange card). It could be Women's consultation or any paid clinic that has a state license to provide “obstetrics and gynecology” services.

The LCD will do all the tests for free, but that’s probably where the benefits end. IN paid clinic fewer queues, more attention to you, better equipment. It will be convenient to visit a doctor at 12 weeks, then you can have an examination and an ultrasound.

That's all you need for now! If you have any questions or doubts, please write in the comments to this article, I will be glad to answer you.

How do girls get pregnant?

Pregnancy occurs when male seminal fluid with viable sperm enters the female body and reaches a mature egg. As you can see, there are several conditions for pregnancy to occur, so you need to understand in detail how girls get pregnant and how the process of conception occurs.

How does a woman become pregnant?

Sperm

Spermatozoa are male reproductive cells containing half the set of chromosomes (23 pcs.) characteristic of to the human body, equipped with special flagella for movement inside the female body. Sperm is produced by the male gonads and leaves the man's body during ejaculation (the release of seminal fluid from the head of the penis).

The main purpose of sperm is to reach the egg and fertilize it. For this purpose, nature provides for a fairly long “survival” of these small cells - they are capable of maintaining vital activity in the uterine cavity and reproductive tubes for up to 7 days, waiting for the female cell to leave the follicle. If during sexual intercourse the egg has matured, they will reach it in 1 - 2 hours. That is, roughly speaking, a girl can become pregnant within 1 - 2 hours after intercourse.

Egg

The eggs mature in the female reproductive glands called the ovaries. Only one (less often two) eggs mature in a special ovarian sac, the follicle, per month. This usually happens towards the middle menstrual cycle, that is, approximately 12-14-16 days after the start of previous monthly bleeding. After leaving the follicle, the egg enters the fallopian tube, the organ that connects the ovary to the uterus.

The nucleus of the egg also contains 23 chromosomes - half of the genetic set. The egg moves inside the body thanks to special villi lining inner surface pipes Here she will wait for sperm for 24 hours; if during this period the sperm does not penetrate into the woman’s body and fertilization does not occur, the woman will not be able to get pregnant, the egg will die, will be expelled from the body and will leave it during the next menstruation.

How does conception occur?

If, on the day of ovulation, there are viable sperm in a woman’s body, the latter will strive to penetrate the egg membrane. Usually one sperm succeeds in this, after which the membrane becomes impermeable to the rest.

The nuclei of the egg and sperm unite inside the egg, forming a common nucleus with 46 chromosomes typical of human cells, fertilization occurs and the development of the embryo begins.

The embryo, pushed by the villi of the tubes, moves into the uterus and attaches to one of its walls, as if growing into it. This moment in medicine is considered the time when a woman becomes pregnant. Now, at the place where the embryo joins the uterus, the umbilical cord will develop, and from the cells of the embryo, a child will develop.

How not to get pregnant

To prevent unwanted pregnancy, use special methods and means called contraceptive methods. Here are the main ones:

• Barrier methods: these include condoms, vaginal rings, cervical caps, i.e. mechanical barriers that prevent sperm from entering the woman’s body. At correct use- very reliable way;
• Chemicals: special creams, suppositories, sprays and other forms of topical substances. Apply immediately before the start of intercourse. The method is unreliable and is often used in combination with barrier methods;
• Hormonal contraceptives: tablets, patches, injections. They are a reliable means of protection, but they should only be used on the recommendation of a doctor;
• IUD (intrauterine device) is a small design that is installed by a gynecologist;
• Emergency contraception - special group means aimed at preventing pregnancy after sexual intercourse. They usually contain a powerful dose of hormones and can seriously harm your health.

When talking about pregnancy, one cannot ignore the woman’s age, because the health and future life of the unborn child largely depends on this, so read our article

An expectant mother is always interested in who will be born to her. Today, thanks to advanced medical methods research, it is not difficult to determine the sex of a baby before it is born. But special tests are performed only according to indications, and ultrasound is performed in deadlines. As a rule, the sex of the baby is easy to determine closer to 20 weeks. Until then, you can try to guess it by special signs. Let's look at the main signs of pregnancy with a girl, which have developed among the people.

It is believed that a girl will be born if expectant mother have changed noticeably:

• face;
• leather;
• general appearance.

If a girl “looks dumb”, her chin and nose change shape, and swelling of her face appears, then a girl will be born. There is a folk saying that the external attractiveness of the expectant mother passes on to her daughter. The condition of the skin may also change during this period. Some people explain the birth of a girl as dryness, rashes, peeling, pigmentation on the face, a blurry figure, a disappearing waist, dull and brittle hair.

Belly shape

Among the signs of pregnancy with a girl is the shape of the abdomen. Many “predictors” consider it the most reliable. According to signs, a family will definitely have a baby if the expectant mother’s belly has the shape of a large melon spreading out to the sides. At the same time, the waist disappears from the back. The abdomen during pregnancy with a girl should not be sharp. A pointed, cucumber-like, neat belly protruding forward indicates the birth of a boy.

Certainly, modern man, who has even basic medical knowledge, understands that the shape of the expectant mother’s abdomen is determined not by the gender of the child, but by the anatomical features of the woman.

Baby's behavior in the womb

Experts in the field of gender guessing undertake to determine it by the behavior of the baby in the stomach. In their opinion, high fetal activity in the womb and exceeding 140 beats per minute indicates the birth of a female baby. Signs that a girl is expecting during pregnancy include: active movement in the liver area.

Mood swings

Experts in determining the sex of a baby by signs believe that signs of pregnancy with a girl necessarily include a change in the mood of the expectant mother. Women are credited with unpredictability, spontaneity, and illogical actions. Therefore, it is believed that such character traits that intensified during pregnancy - obvious signs birth of a girl.

In addition to eccentricity and sudden mood swings, pregnant girls are attributed to increased lack of concentration, forgetfulness and absent-mindedness.

Taste preferences

Considering the signs of pregnancy with a girl in the early stages, we highlight changes in the gastronomic preferences of the expectant mother. It is believed that in such women it is much longer and more pronounced than in the case of carrying a boy. This contributes to particular pickiness and whims in food.

They say that if a girl is born, the mother will happily eat fruits and sweets. She will like oranges, bananas, juices, baked goods, dairy products, candies and ice cream. At the same time, there is a decrease in interest in meat dishes and absolute indifference to pickles.

It is believed that when a woman is pregnant with a girl, her appetite is not very pronounced. The feeling of constant hunger is more common in mothers of boys.

Leading party

Considering the “proven” signs of pregnancy with a girl from the point of view of folk signs, let us note the leading side of the woman’s body. It is believed that when a girl is pregnant, the left side becomes the predominant side.

A baby will definitely be born if a woman:

• shows hands with palms up;
• gets out of bed with his left leg;
• relies more often on left hand.

It is difficult to clearly explain such a sign. But many believe in it, and the prediction comes true with a 50% probability.

Course of pregnancy

Those who know how to guess the gender of a child using folk signs claim that pregnancy with a girl is much more difficult than with a boy. This is due to severe toxicosis, morning sickness, lack of appetite and a sharp change in taste. The woman’s condition is further complicated by constant mood swings, which are most likely caused by manifestations of toxicosis.

It is believed that toxicosis in women expecting a son is not as long and severe. That's why general health, appetite and tastes in this case do not change much.

Other signs

Other signs that you are pregnant with a girl include:

• Active sex life couples at conception.
• Passivity of a woman in sex.
• Lack of orgasm in a woman at the moment of conception.

Among the signs we can mention common ones, but completely absurd and without any logical explanation. For example, a girl will be born if in a couple the wife loves her husband more than he loves her. If the first-born in the family is a boy, and the interval between pregnancies is short, then a baby will be born.

Folk signs

Folk signs Determining the sex of a baby does not always lend itself to any explanation or logic. They often contradict common sense, but sometimes they work.

Which folk signs indicate that a woman is pregnant with a girl?

People say that a family will definitely have a daughter if:

• The head of the family wears tight underwear.
• The pride of the future dad is his beautiful hair.
• The expectant mother's urine changed color and turned straw-colored.
• During this period, a woman’s feet and palms do not freeze. Otherwise, an heir will be born.

You can determine the gender of a child by fortune telling. To do this, tie to a thread wedding ring or a needle. The woman needs to lie down and hold a thread over her stomach. If the ring rotates, a boy will be born, and if it moves like a pendulum, a girl will be born.

How reliable is this?

Unfortunately, the accuracy of methods for predicting the sex of a baby that are not based on medical knowledge comes down to a 50/50 probability. This means that you cannot seriously rely on them. The above methods can be considered as entertainment, a joke, a game, a fun pastime and nothing more.

It has been proven that a person’s gender cannot be determined by a model underwear or dad's hair, mom's mood, dates of birth and the age difference between parents. It is determined only by the combination of X and Y chromosomes. Moreover, nature appointed the pope “responsible” for this. The gender of the child does not depend on the mother at all.

It is also impossible to reliably determine the sex of the child based on the woman’s well-being. The course of pregnancy also does not depend on the gender of the baby. Her character can only be explained by her state of health and physiological characteristics the body of the expectant mother. Changes in her character, appearance, tastes and the shape of her belly can also be explained.

Scientifically based methods of determination

What signs are still reliable during pregnancy with a girl? It can be argued that they do not exist. No reliable signs have yet been invented. Some “experienced” mothers rely on their experience in previous pregnancies and believe that the dissimilar nature of this period necessarily implies a different sex of the baby. But this is absolutely not true. If in the second pregnancy a woman prefers sweets, and in the first she loved herring, this does not mean that the children will be of different sexes. All sensations during this period are subjective and depend on many factors, but not on the gender of the child.

It must be borne in mind that the sex of the baby cannot be changed or influenced by any measures. There is no way to change this process.

You can find out exactly who will be born - a daughter or a son - only with the help of modern techniques medicine:

• Ultrasonography. The method is most often relevant closer to the middle of the term. But several modern devices allows you to find out the sex of the baby as early as 13 weeks. The advantages of ultrasound include its safety and high accuracy (more than 95%).
• Blood test of the expectant mother. Thus, you can find out the baby’s gender as early as 8 obstetric week. The method is based on determining the Y chromosome in the mother's blood. If the analysis confirms its absence, then a girl will be born. The probability of error in this technique is no more than 3%. The analysis is not cheap, and not every clinic performs it, so it is prescribed for medical reasons, and not out of idle curiosity.
• Analysis amniotic fluid , which is held after. The accuracy of this method is close to 100%, but it is prescribed only in the presence of serious medical indications. For example, in order to exclude Down syndrome or other serious genetic pathologies. Such an analysis carries certain risks of miscarriage.

You can accurately determine the sex of the baby only with the help of scientific methods. Folk signs “work” only with a 50% probability. Today, such signs only help the expectant mother to play and have a good time. The probability of making a mistake is very high. But happiness is giving birth healthy baby. And in fact, it doesn’t matter whether a daughter or a son is born, the main thing is that he is expected and loved in the family.

Replies

At all times, the gender of the child was important for future parents; signs of pregnancy with a girl or a boy were especially important in the East, where the birth of a boy meant continuation of the family and the birth of an heir. Today, ultrasound helps to reveal the secret of the sex of the unborn baby during pregnancy already from 15-16 weeks, but curiosity does not leave, and as soon as they learn that you are expecting a child, your relatives and friends will begin to wonder who you will have.

For doctors, there are no peculiarities in the course of pregnancy, regardless of who is hiding in the tummy, but among the people there are dozens of signs, often contradicting each other. For example, it is believed that it is easier for a woman to bear a girl because there will be no hormonal conflict, but on the other hand, everyone claims that pregnancy with a girl always means toxicosis, swelling and other troubles.

Be that as it may, there is no harm in guessing about the gender of the child, and it can become good fun, especially if the baby “hides” on the ultrasound or the deadline does not yet allow you to see whether it is a boy or a girl using ultrasound.

Mom's appearance

The appearance of a pregnant girl during pregnancy is characterized by one phrase, “the daughter took all the beauty from her mother.” It is believed that if the birth of a daughter is expected, the appearance does not change for the better:

The face becomes swollen, suffers from skin irritation, dryness and even acne, and age spots appear.

The hair looks bad, it may even change its shade to reddish and may fall out.

Nails become brittle and peel.

The skin on the legs is dry, which is why it is covered in wounds and scratches.

Changes in appearance appear already in the first weeks, these are the most early signs pregnancy with a girl. A pregnant girl is prone to swelling of the legs, and gains weight mainly due to the enlargement of the hips and buttocks. The breasts also quickly increase in size and become rounded, acquiring beautiful shape. Left breast the woman has more than the right one. The urine of a woman expecting a daughter turns bright yellow.

Belly shape

When the belly begins to grow, it becomes the most important subject of discussion.

A round belly that does not protrude forward but seems to spread out to the sides, a high belly that softly hides when looking at a woman in profile, a quickly disappearing waist indicates that an heiress will be born.

Movements and heartbeat

The baby moves more on the right side and the first movement is late, and the baby’s heart beats more often than 140 beats per minute.

It is believed that girls often lie in their tummy with their back to the left, and like to kick their mother in the liver.

Food cravings

If you are drawn to sweets, flour and fruits, especially citrus fruits, and you are reluctant to eat meat, you are madly attracted to everything pickled and sour, if you have a decreased appetite, then you may be expecting a girl.

Not only is your appetite reduced, you are fussy about food and suffer from morning sickness Are you picky at the table and don’t eat the crust of your bread? You can be almost sure of this. These are also the first signs of pregnancy with a girl, appearing in the first trimester.

Course of pregnancy

“Reliable” signs of pregnancy with a girl in the early stages are strong in the expectant mother. In general, it is believed that it is more difficult to bear a girl; the health of the expectant mother may be worse than that of those who are expecting a boy. One good thing is that there are no headaches.

Leading party

Among those who came from the east, such signs of pregnancy with a boy or girl will be accepted as the leading side of the body. Pregnant woman, expecting a girl, becomes “a little left-handed”, predominates left-hand side bodies.

Do a simple test.

When walking up the stairs, which foot do you put on the step first? Sit on the floor, and now try to stand up, which hand are you leaning on? If you rise, stepping on your left foot, leaning on your left hand, a daughter is growing in your tummy.

Another test, stretch your arms forward, if at the same time your palms are open upward - this is also a sign of a girl.

Mood

My husband and, everything irritates me, I have become inadequate, forgetful and unable to complete any serious task, I lose and forget everything - this is about the future mother of my daughter.

Women expecting a girl are unusually absent-minded and passive, capable of spontaneous actions devoid of logic, and they themselves suffer greatly from their whims and bad character. Fortunately, with the birth of a child, these unpleasant moods disappear.

Other signs it's a girl

Mom's warm feet

Dad is a lover of wide family panties

Conception occurred after a feast with alcohol consumption

Parents of an unborn child aged

If you, taking a key from the table, take it by the narrow part, there will be a girl (if by the wide part, then there will be a boy, and if in the middle, there will be twins)

The wife loves her husband very much, more than he loves her

Sex was without female orgasm and the woman lay with her head to the south

At conception there was rain (snowfall) and extreme heat or winter cold

A boy who has barely learned to walk reaches out to a pregnant woman - she has a girl under her heart

The eldest child said the word mom first

Favorite position for sleeping on the right side

They also say that those pregnant with girls are more graceful and light than those who are carrying a boy.

Shall we tell fortunes?

Let's sum it up

The existing numerous signs of pregnancy with a girl have no justification. The only change in appearance can be attributed to increased level estrogen in the expectant mother, because the fetus also produces them. And the best thing is to wait for the ultrasound and, through this study, find out exactly the sex of the child.

The happiness of being a mother does not depend on the gender of the baby, the most important thing is that the child is born healthy, remember that already in utero the baby feels how you feel about him, and he will be hurt by your disappointment if the gender is not what you expected. This could lead to disorders of sexual orientation and behavior in the future, you don’t want that, do you? Rejoice that God gave you this happiness, pregnancy, and who will be born is not the most important thing.

Every person grows up one day and wonders how girls get pregnant. And this is not surprising, because the process of conception is so interesting and complex, and often people are embarrassed to talk about it.

A teenager can learn how women get pregnant in a biology lesson, as well as with the help of literature. It is worth noting that this process is completely thought out by nature, it is complex and depends on various factors. Therefore, pregnancy does not always occur easily. Let's look at how girls get pregnant, and also give an example of 16 situations in which you can become pregnant.

In order for a woman to become pregnant from a man, it is necessary for sperm to enter her vagina. This can happen during sexual intercourse, or by introducing sperm inside, for example, with a syringe or fingers. In the future, the chances of pregnancy will depend on the following conditions:

• ovulation of the egg should occur in the near future;
• sperm must be sufficiently mobile, and the ejaculate must be of high quality;
• the woman must be healthy.

If a man has problems with sperm quality, then pregnancy most likely will not occur. In order for sperm to penetrate the female body, pass through the cervix and enter the fallopian tube, there must be a lot of them, and they must be mobile and healthy. Otherwise, male gametes will not be able to overcome obstacles on the way to the egg and will die.

It is also very important that the egg appears inside the fallopian tube and is alive. The egg appears during ovulation and lives for only a day. Thus, fertilization can only take place within 24, or you will have to wait for the next ovulation.

The most important condition for conception is health reproductive system women. When a woman becomes pregnant, the body is completely rebuilt, all forces are directed towards preserving the fetus and supplying it with nutrition. If a girl has inflammation in the pelvis, problems with the uterus or fallopian tubes, then the embryo will not be able to take root and will be rejected by the body. The same can happen with hormonal imbalances.

Ovulation

As stated above, fertilization can only occur when the female cell is in fallopian tube. Here, many girls decide that all other days are safe and they don’t need to use protection. And then the question arises, why did the girl become pregnant if the days were calculated.

First you need to understand that sperm are more durable sex cells. They can stay inside the female body for 3 to 7 days, and when ovulation occurs, they fertilize the egg. If sexual intercourse took place a week before ovulation, then it is quite possible that pregnancy will occur.

Girls also need to remember that female body extremely unstable. For every representative of the fair sex, ovulation can occur in different days, which can shift when exposed to external factors on the body. If the girl was nervous, or had a cold, or took some medications, then the day of ovulation may shift.

Therefore, it is very difficult to guarantee that if ovulation occurred on the 15th day of the cycle this month, then it will be exactly the same in the next month. Sometimes spontaneous ovulation even occurs when two eggs mature and the extra one ovulates right before or during menstruation. Then the girl can also become pregnant.

Contraception

Many girls are concerned about whether it is possible to get pregnant after sex if they used contraception. Here you can give a clear answer, and it is positive. No contraceptive method guarantees 100% protection. Only the chance of pregnancy depends on the method.

Contraceptives hormonal pills if the instructions are strictly followed, it guarantees 99% protection against unwanted pregnancy. If a girl misses a pill or takes it incorrectly, then the chances of conception increase greatly, since due to a lack of hormones, ovulation can still happen.

Condoms and IUDs also do not provide a 100% guarantee, especially low-quality ones. If the condom was made incorrectly, sperm may leak through the microholes in the material. If they are lucky and get into the uterus, then pregnancy can occur. Also, the condom may break, in which case all the ejaculate will end up in the vagina. If the IUD was installed poorly or fell out, the pregnancy will develop.

Interrupted sexual intercourse is not a method of contraception; during it, the likelihood of pregnancy is quite high, especially with repeated sexual intercourse. The fact is that the lubricant that is released when a man is aroused may contain several sperm cells. If they get inside, then the woman becomes pregnant.

Situations

The question under what circumstances you can get pregnant worries most girls. Let's look at several myths and situations in which a girl can supposedly become pregnant.

There is an opinion that pregnancy is possible during anal sex. This will only happen if, during further caresses, the sperm gets inside the vagina, and deep enough. If a girl engages in anal sex, after intercourse she needs to wash off the remnants of the ejaculate, preventing it from entering the vagina.

You can also get pregnant during petting if, during ejaculation, the man leaned against the woman’s genitals, and immediately after inserted, for example, a finger into the vagina. This way the sperm could get inside.

There is also a small chance of getting pregnant if a man ejaculates anywhere but on the girl’s genitals. Then he touched the sperm and wiped his hands poorly, and after that he began to insert his “dirty” fingers into the vagina. Sperm are small and there are millions of them in the ejaculate; some of them could survive.

You can get pregnant if you open the condom incorrectly. A girl can damage it with her teeth or long nails and not notice it. Even a small hole will be enough for sperm to penetrate into the vagina.

It is very important to put the condom on correctly so that the sperm receptacle at the end is free. If you do not leave the tip, the ejaculate can spread to the sides and enter the vagina through the top.

Many people ask whether it is possible to get pregnant after sex if the girl is already pregnant. The answer is yes. If a malfunction occurs in the body and ovulation occurs, then re-conception may occur. As a result, there will be 2 babies in the uterus with different gestational age, and possibly with different biological fathers.

You can accidentally get pregnant if you use oil lubricant during sex. Such lubricants negatively affect latex and destroy it. If it is necessary to use a lubricant, it must be water-based.

There is an opinion that a girl can become pregnant even in the bathroom if the man ejaculates next to her. Of course, this is purely theoretically possible, but it is very unlikely, since the sperm will quickly die.

A woman can become pregnant even after a tubal ligation. There is a small chance that the fallopian tubes will recover and the egg will be able to be fertilized and penetrate through the hole into the uterus.

There is a risk of becoming pregnant when using any contraceptives, even during menstruation. Emergency contraception also does not provide a 100% guarantee, especially if it was not taken according to the rules. Thus, pregnancy can occur with any type of sexual contact. Of course, the chances are very small, especially if the couple is properly protected.

Signs

Women who are expecting a baby are often interested in how they get pregnant and what symptoms accompany the whole process. If a girl wants to urgently find out whether she is pregnant or not, then in any case she will have to wait for the onset of her period. Delayed menstruation is the only true symptom successful conception. If menstruation is delayed, it is better to take a pharmacy pregnancy test.

But here, too, not everything is so smooth. Sometimes a malfunction occurs in the body, and a pregnant woman experiences uterine bleeding. But it is different from regular periods, there is less blood, and the discharge disappears too quickly. If this happens, it is better to take a pregnancy test after stopping the bleeding, just in case.

After the delay, symptoms of pregnancy may appear as early as 3-6 weeks:

• toxicosis;
• pain in the mammary glands;
• nagging pain in the lower abdomen;
• copious vaginal discharge;
• lack of appetite;
• desire to eat salty foods.

If a woman is not going to give birth, then she needs to take responsibility for her body. If unprotected sex occurs, you must take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after it. And if your period doesn’t come, be sure to repeat it. If the delay is more than 2 weeks and the test is negative, you need to go to a gynecologist.

Don't expect everything to resolve itself. A girl can terminate her pregnancy only up to 12 weeks without medical indications. And the sooner this happens, the less harm will be done to the body.

Doctors also recommend that girls avoid unwanted pregnancies and abortion by all means, as this is very harmful to health and can cause serious problems with conception in the future. Therefore, during any sexual intercourse you need to protect yourself, and it is better to use 2 methods at once, for example, condoms and a coil, or condoms and pills. Such contraception will significantly reduce the chances of pregnancy and protect against contracting STIs.
