To be frank, the first 3 months of pregnancy doesn’t seem like a big deal as more emphasis is laid over the latter months. But interestingly it’s the most crucial and beautiful time of the whole phase as per Dr. Max Mongelli.
The first 12 months marks the development of all the baby’s organs and the body structure. What’s left is just to grow and gain a healthy weight. People generally identify pregnancy as a phase of 9 months, from the day they receive the good news till the baby pops up. Actually, it’s more to pregnancy then just that. To be precise pregnancy is a 1000-day period which is accounted from the day before the conception right to the child's second birthday. It’s a crucial time which many believe is said to shape what type of adult the baby will become.
Conception is the process when the sperm meets the egg inside the female’s body. Generally, couples try to time their conception with their most fertile state, but it’s really hard to tell the exact point when it will happen. After conception, the female body undergoes many hormonal changes. These changes are the nature’s switch to adapt the body to home and nurture a child. Expert Dr. Max Mongelli shares some facts about conception period that you may not know-
• The moment a sperm fertilizes the egg, a chemical signal is passed onto all the other sperms to back off, the race has ended and the victor is crowned.
• After fertilization, the blastocyst rapidly divides and multiplies for the next 4 to 5 days till it makes its way to the womb.
• After the man ejaculates, the sperm travels all the way through the cervix, up to the uterus to the fallopian tubes where the sperm meets the egg.
• Each ovary delivers an egg alternatively. Usually, this cycle takes a month but it largely depends on the women’s genetics.
• An egg is only capable of fertilization till 12-24 hours after ovulation. After that, it dies and is discarded in the next period cycle.
• A hormone called progesterone is responsible to prepare the uterus for the fertilized egg to implant.
• The most fertile time for a woman is just before ovulation.
Sperm is expected to last about 3 to 5 days in a woman's body.
• If 2 eggs are fertilized by 2 separate sperms then the women will have 2 non-identical twins. And if one sperm infuses one egg and immediately splits in 2, then the women are blessed with identical twins.
•The pituitary glands and ovaries in a woman’s body are in constant communication to achieve the suited level of hormones the body needs.
