Raising the birth of a child and probably the happiest feeling in the world. Pregnant women have a lot to worry about as it is carrying with it a new life in the womb.
After puberty body is ready to move onto the next to steps such as the creation of a child. This takes time, partners should be ready to join their sperm and egg, fertilized egg will go into zygote stage . This takes time, a pregnant woman is required to do this sperm and egg merge after a zygote. A zygote is "a human embryo". There is 4 stage in pregnancy. The fourth stage is difficult and which we currently have a child of 8 months. Trimesters are weeks we have 3 trimesters first form 1-12 weeks , the second is 13-28 and this is Third trimester week 29-week 40. Then you

It every other month mother is bound to get ultrasound. Doctor who has specialized education the management of pregnancy and labor it is gynecologist. Sometimes gynecologists use amniocentesis to find out how baby looks. It is special cream to see baby on screen. When two organisms has born together as a body it is conjoined births. Identical twins are when they have same DNA, same look, they born same time not same time but they are in one womb and they born one other time. Fraternal twins - they develop from two different eggs. When you see baby's head that is coming from woman's vagina its crowing. Being in labor in it when you are about give birth. A.P.G.A.R it is time when baby is already born like 5 minutes ago and doctors will have quick test performed for Him/her. Geneticists is a doctor who studies about your genetic material DNA. if baby is not coming normally than doctors need to find another was to help mother release baby so they use episiotomy it is a little cut that doctors make in vagina during childbirth. After childbirth women have Postpartum period which is only after childbirth. C-section is recover quicker after a vaginal delivery. When couple can't have baby they direct surrogate mother it is when another woman carries and gives birth for another couple who wants to have baby. Midwives are trained professionals to support women to maintain healthy pregnancies. The
The article was mainly about how an egg reproduces with a sperm to create new individuals. The article also discussed how at one time the sperm and egg were the same. Over time, the sperm and egg have evolved to be different. The article mentions the challenges with the sperm being able to reach the egg. There is also a discussion about how the protein affects the reproduction and a discussion on reproductive failure.
In American culture during the first 8 months of pregnancy the woman will have monthly scheduled prenatal visits. At the beginning of the 8th month she will have biweekly prenatal visits. During the 38th week she will transition into weekly prenatal visits until the baby is born. If the patient has a high risk pregnancy her prenatal visits may occur more frequently. The frequency of high risk prenatal visits will depend on the provider and the complication associated with the pregnancy. During high risk prenatal visits the patient will generally have more specialized test to monitor her health as well as t...
Even before women know they’re pregnant important changes are already happening in their bodies. The first week of conception the zygote this is when the egg and sperm join it now has divided into many cells. Within two weeks the embryo will attach to the woman’s uterine wall. The embryo will continue to grow climaxing with the baby’s birth.
Throughout history mankind has come up with some wonderful inventions and innovations, but out of all the creations by far the most beautiful and precious is human birth. I first developed an interest in nursing and in particular midwifery years ago. I believe it is a great service within the health profession because of the privileged position to assist in human childbirth. The word midwife means with woman. Centuries before obstetricians delivered babies, midwifes assisted women in having at home births. But it was only formally established as a profession in the early 1900’s. A nurse-midwife is a registered nurse that specializes in midwifery. The job of midwife is to assist in family planning and birth control advice, provide general gynecological services (such as pap smears and breast exams), aid women in childbirth, and help women by providing prenatal and postpartum care. Nurse-midwives are required to have a Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree and pass the American College of Nurse Midwifery (ACNM) board examination to obtain certification.
It is important to understand what women commonly experience during pregnancy. With a better understanding of what happens during prenatal development and childbirth, physicians can competently develop the best plan for the mother and baby. I interviewed two women who have been previously pregnant in order to evaluate how the ideas in the book translate into real-life experiences.
Finding a practitioner to care for you during your pregnancy and the birth of your child is a very important task. Most people go to their family doctor. Unless your pregnancy is high risk that may not be necessary. Midwives offer care that is “lower-tech, less invasive, and less inclined toward intervention without a clear medical need.” says Jamie Cruz, author of “Call the Midwife”. Many women are uneducated on the benefits to selecting care from a midwife. Many times when expecting mothers discuss their options with their family doctor, the discussion of midwives is often avoided or the doctor will discourage the expecting mother from choosing a midwife. Midwives and doctors should work as a team and embrace each other, however due to

The first child. Anticipation and excitement fill the mind. Nothing is more exciting than waiting for the thrill of being a parent. The experience of pregnancy and parenthood is like none other. The first child.
There are two different ways to break down the prenatal time period: by trimester or by periods. The first period is called the germinal period. This time frame consists of the first fourteen days of the baby’s development starting with conception. During these two weeks, the fertilized egg makes it’s way into the uterus for implantation in the lining of the uterus. The next period, the embryonic period starts here. The embryonic period lasts the third through the eighth week of pregnancy. During this time period, according to Kathleen Stassen Burger, Author of The Developing Person: Through Childhood and Adolescence, “…the formless mass of cells becomes a distinct being-not yet recognizably human, but worthy of a new name, embryo” (Burg...

Once the sperm fuses with the ovum both chromosomes will pair up and begin the first stages of cell division.
The egg is covered with a hard protein shell that called a zona. No sperm is just strong enough to break this shell, so the sperm has to introduce itself properly first. Once the sperm goes through and completes all of the challenges. The egg and sperm take over and begin developing a baby. The development of a baby goes through three trimesters before the parents get to meet their “Life’s Greatest
Human pregnancy begins with the fusion of an egg and a sperm within the female reproductive tract, but extensive stages precedes this event. First, both male and female sex cells must pass through a long series of changes under a process called gametogenesis. As the human embryologist Larsen (1997) states that gametogenesis is the process that converts primordial germ cells into mature sex gametes in the male (spermatozoa, or sperms), and in the female (definitive oocytes). The timing of gametogenesis is different in males and females. The later stages of spermatogenesis in males occur at puberty, and continue throughout adult life. The process involves the production of spermatogonia from the primitive germ cells, which in turn become primary spermatocytes, and finally mature spermatozoa. These mature sperms consist only half of the number of their original chromosomes and therefore they are ready to take part in fertilization. On the other hand, oogenesis begins in the female during fetal life. The process includes
Those who have arrived at the ovum try to drill through its shell. Those sperm cells that were able to drill through the shell are now in a space that is filled with liquid. If a sperm manages to penetrate into the cytoplasm of the cell nucleus, the fertilization takes place: Both the egg cell and the sperm cell have all stored the genetic information necessary for the development of a human being. Both fuse together during fertilization. Essential characteristics of the developing human being (gender, hair color, blood type, etc.) are therefore already defined from this point in time. Fusing of two sperm with just one egg is extremely unlikely. Immediately after fertilization by the first sperm cell, the outer layer of the “egg” becomes impassable for more sperm. Should it nevertheless occur, then the double-fertilized egg in these cases is not viable and will not usually grow. The child (so to say) is not able to correctly develop and severe disabilities can form, in most of these cases the body will discard the fertilized egg at some point. If the child is carried to full term they will most likely be triploid, and have an extra set of chromosomes in their cells. Triploidy is considered a lethal
The miracle of life is something most of us will experience in our lifetime. The process before actually giving birth, I think is the hardest part of the entire scenario of child bearing. This amazing experience is something that can make the individuals who are involved in the process change in so many ways. The process of giving birth, for those of you who have not experienced or will never experience it, can be very hard, long and rewarding all at the same time. To give a better description, think of eating a fireball. At first the fireball is tame and calm, but just when you least expect it the fireball becomes hot. Then, when the hot sensation becomes too much, the sweet flavor of the fireball breaks through.
