Is it possible to feel pregnant on the 3rd day. What sensations arise after conception

Those women who plan to become mothers treat the sensations in the first days of pregnancy with great responsibility. Watching their body, they seek to see any signs of the emergence of a new life.

Experts note that there are two terms for your pregnancy: the obstetric term (counted from the first day of menstruation) and the true term (counted from the day of conception). In most cases, it is very difficult to determine the exact day of conception, therefore, in antenatal clinics, the first day of menstruation is considered the starting point. Today we will talk about the first days of pregnancy according to the true term.

Turning to science, we note that the first week after conception cannot yet be called pregnancy. The fact is that a fertilized egg within 7-10 days moves to the place where it will be located and develop from the embryo into the fetus. Only after it is attached to the walls of the uterus can we talk about the onset of pregnancy. Menstruation occurs if this attachment did not occur, and then the woman does not even suspect that there was a conception.

If the fertilized egg has reached the uterus, then it is introduced into the walls of the uterus (). After successful implantation, the umbilical cord and placenta begin to form. The first week after conception is very important in the period of conception of a new life, since the woman's body perceives the embryo as a foreign body, tries in every possible way to reject it, not allowing it to gain a foothold as it should.

After successful implantation of the embryo, hormonal changes occur first in the body. A woman begins to produce a special hormone that is responsible for the safety of the fetus in the female body in the first stages of pregnancy: it is known as hCG. The presence of this hormone in the blood gives a 100% guarantee of pregnancy. Most doctors and women trust the hCG blood test more than pregnancy tests in the early days, although the latter also react to the presence of the hormone.

The first days of pregnancy: how to recognize

For a healthy woman, the first sign of pregnancy is always a delay. But, if you do not monitor your general condition and do not plan a pregnancy, then the delay is determined when the pregnancy has already lasted 2-3 weeks. The fact that in the first days after conception the implantation of the embryo into the walls of the uterus occurs can be indicated by several signs.

Minor spotting

On the 7-12th day after conception, when the embryo is implanted into the walls of the uterus, a woman may experience slight bleeding (implantation bleeding). It may appear as a few brownish or yellowish spots on underwear or paper. If the pregnancy is not planned, then this phenomenon is more often perceived as the onset of menstruation. If such spots appear when pregnancy has already been accurately diagnosed, then this may be a signal for a threatened miscarriage, and requires urgent medical attention. This sign in the first days of pregnancy may be absent, it all depends on the individuality of the body.

Increase in body temperature and basal temperature

When planning a pregnancy, the method of measuring basal temperature is often used to determine the timing of ovulation. This temperature, with successful fertilization of the egg, first falls, and then rises. The lowered basal temperature in the first days of pregnancy is due to two factors:

• during pregnancy, estrogen is released, which lowers the temperature;
• again, progesterone begins to be produced more strongly, which raises the temperature.

Thus, following your basal temperature, when the pregnancy is already confirmed, you can see a “pit” on the chart with a decrease in temperature. This decline lasts only 1 day, then the temperature rises. A basal temperature of 37 degrees is considered the norm, until the placenta begins to fully function (the first few weeks). If you do not notice a decline, then it is impossible not to notice an elevated temperature for 2-3 weeks.

Feeling slightly unwell

A woman's well-being in the first days of pregnancy may worsen. Often there is drowsiness, weakness. Many even become slightly ill, complaining of a sore throat and a runny nose. This is all due to a decrease in immunity and the struggle of the body with the implanting embryo.

In the first trimester, body temperature is always elevated, but only slightly. Hence the general weakness. The main condition for the normal course of pregnancy with such a malaise is not to be treated with drugs that can harm the unborn child. When planning a pregnancy, it is generally better to abandon all medications, if they are not absolutely necessary, and resort exclusively to folk remedies that are not contraindicated during pregnancy.

There is a feeling of apathy, fatigue. This is due not only to the general restructuring of the body, but also to the increased production of progesterone. These sensations can stop quickly, or they can drag on until the 10th week of pregnancy, when more estrogen begins to be produced.

Breast tenderness

In the first days of pregnancy, a woman’s breasts begin to swell, pain sensations appear, that is, her sensitivity increases. Even the slightest touch can be painful.

Sometimes the exact opposite happens. Previously, a woman had painful sensations before each menstruation, and now she is surprised that her breasts do not hurt. Soon after the amazing moment, she learns about the pregnancy. Often, pressure on the areola can release colostrum in early pregnancy.

Heaviness in the pelvic area

A manifestation of the first days of pregnancy can be a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic organs. Many women begin to feel the uterus immediately after the implantation of the embryo. The degree of this sensation is individual for each organism.

Tingling in the uterus

Tingling in the uterus in the first days of pregnancy is considered an individual indicator, which may indicate not only successful conception and implantation.

Early toxicosis

It is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, along with others, is a sign of the first days of pregnancy. Toxicosis is also considered a special sensitivity to certain smells and food. There may be a feeling of aversion to previously loved foods.

In the early days of pregnancy, you may fall in love with things you used to hate. Also, strange combinations in food are characteristic of the early stages: herring with compote, ram with chocolate, pineapple with sausage. People around cringe at the sight of such food, and a pregnant woman experiences indescribable bliss.

The first days of pregnancy: false symptoms

Some of the above symptoms may indicate not only the onset of pregnancy. They can indicate bowel disease, cervical erosion and other diseases of the female genital organs. These symptoms include bleeding, and nausea, increased urination, swelling of the breast, which can also indicate not only the onset of pregnancy.

The first days of pregnancy: what to do

Any method of determining pregnancy begins to work only with the onset of a delay in menstruation. Even knowing the exact day of ovulation, no analysis or test will indicate the onset of pregnancy the day after fertilization. An analysis for hCG, a pregnancy test, an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is best done in the first week of missed menstruation.

When planning a pregnancy and assuming its onset, you should completely change your lifestyle six months before conception. If the first symptoms of pregnancy are present, but they do not cause you much discomfort, then wait for the delay and the opportunity to take a test. A visit to the gynecologist in the first week after conception will not give any result other than a stack of referrals for tests.

During this period, you can read something useful and pleasant about pregnancy, ask about the nearest courses for expectant mothers, take care of your body and start doing gymnastics for pregnant women (even if there is no pregnancy, exercise will never hurt).

Just spend this time with joy and pleasant impressions. Talk to the future dad about a possible miracle. You should go to the doctor after a positive pregnancy test, a 2-week delay in menstruation, or if you have gynecological problems.

If the symptoms in the first days of pregnancy are very intense and the malaise intensifies, then the visit to the doctor should be postponed to an earlier date. This is especially true for those who previously had problems conceiving or carrying a pregnancy.

The first trimester of pregnancy is the most critical. At this time, the laying of all the vital organs of the baby. The very first days of pregnancy play a huge role in the onset of pregnancy in general.

If you did not plan a pregnancy, then try to predict it (when performing unprotected intercourse) and not harm the baby. If the pregnancy is planned, then behave as before: follow proper nutrition, avoid heavy physical exertion and do not be nervous, then a miracle will definitely happen.

In a woman's life, there comes such an exciting moment when she can't wait to find out about her "interesting situation", but the period may be quite short to make an accurate diagnosis.

In order to understand in more detail, consider the main signs in the first days of conception, which may indicate the onset of pregnancy.

The first signs of an interesting situation

After conception, the fertilized egg starts moving towards the uterus on the very first day to begin development. This time is not yet pregnancy and is about 5-10 days.

The main early sign before a missed period is an increase in body temperature

During this period of time, it is very difficult for the expectant mother to diagnose any sensations in herself, since the egg takes the first steps towards the pregnancy itself.

After the egg has settled securely in the uterus, the process of formation of the umbilical cord and placenta begins - this moment can be safely called the true onset of an "interesting situation".

In the first days when the implantation of the embryo occurred, after conception, pregnancy symptoms such as:

• swelling, soreness of the breast;
• pulling pain in the lower abdomen;
• early toxicosis;
• minor discharge;
• the temperature rises;
• fatigue;
• minor discomfort.

Now let's take a closer look at some of the symptoms.

1. Immediately after conception, swelling and soreness of the breasts appear - these are the first symptoms of hypersensitivity of the mammary glands. A barely noticeable touch can become painful. In the early stages, colostrum may begin to stand out from the nipples.
2. Painful heaviness in the pelvis - there may be slight discomfort, there may be sensations of fullness of the uterus. For the body of every woman at such an early date, sensitivity to a new position manifests itself very individually.
3. Early toxicosis - the expectant mother already feels unwell, nausea, she may not like food that seemed tasty before pregnancy, taste preferences may change. There may be an exacerbated reaction to familiar and new odors.
4. Discharge - you can find a slight discharge of a brown, reddish or yellow hue, they appear in the first days of conception, and pass through the day. This indicates that the embryo has attached to the uterus.
   But it is also important to know that such a sign may indicate a possible threat of interruption of the "interesting situation" if the discharge is plentiful and accompanied by pain. In this case, an urgent appeal to a specialist is necessary.
5. Violation of the temperature regime - in the first days, the body temperature can drop sharply, and then rise until the placenta begins its active work after conception. The first three weeks, an elevated body temperature of up to 37 degrees can be considered the norm. Such a jump occurs due to the release of a large amount of estrogen during pregnancy, which leads to a decrease in temperature, and then the release of progesterone, which leads to an increase in body temperature.
6. Fatigue and malaise - the reason for this is reduced immunity, fever, general weakness. So the woman's body reacts to the embryo as something foreign, and tries to fight it. According to statistics, this period of malaise lasts the first 2 months, then with greater production of estrogen, the condition of the expectant mother returns to normal.

Each week is characterized by growth and the next stage

Early baby development

Although pregnancy did not officially occur from the first days of conception, these days are the most significant and make a huge contribution to the development of a new life. The child begins to form internal organs, nervous, respiratory, digestive systems. What happens in the first days with the embryo after conception - we will consider it step by step.

1. After the zygote is formed, the development of the unborn child begins. From the first day of conception, a fertilized egg begins to make a difficult path to a source of nutrition, where it can fully develop. The ovum makes its way through the fallopian tubes, moving with the help of villi located on the inner surface of the fallopian tubes.
2. On the second day, the egg is still moving towards its target, the process is accompanied by continuous cell division at a very intense pace.
3. On the third day, the number of cells reaches 9.
4. By the fourth day, the fertilized egg takes on the shape of a berry, similar to a blackberry. The egg is still moving towards the uterus. It is from this day that all vital systems, as well as the internal organs of the unborn baby, begin to form through embryogenesis.
5. With a continuous process of cell division, cells - blastomeres - begin to form inside the fetal membrane. Their enzymes play the role of dissolving the uterine lining, helping the embryo adhere firmly to the uterine wall. On the fifth day, the fetal egg enters the uterus, is fixed there by launching its fibers into the endometrium, merging with tissues and blood vessels. Increases the level of the hCG hormone.
6. On the sixth, seventh day, the level of progesterone in the expectant mother rises, the body temperature rises. The child continues its continuous intrauterine development, but still feeding only on its own resources.
7. By the eighth, ninth day, the neural tube begins to form in the fetus, the placenta develops, which will be transformed for the next twelve weeks.

Complete reunification of the embryo with the uterus occurs on the fifth day within forty hours. The strongest connection between the body of the mother and the unborn child occurs on the twelfth day, when the baby begins to fully receive placental nutrition.

Possible dangers of the first days

The most crucial period throughout pregnancy is the first trimester - it is he who needs to be given special attention in order to prevent unwanted risks.

In the early days of conception, the main dangers are:

• risk of miscarriage;
• frozen pregnancy;
• improper development of the embryo;
• ectopic pregnancy.

The following pathologies can provoke these risks.

1. Cold.
2. SARS.
3. Infectious diseases, sexually transmitted.
4. Alcohol, smoking.
5. Discharge from the vagina, accompanied by pain.
6. Severe pain in the pelvis.
7. Stress.
8. Physical activity, trauma.

HCG - the "hormone of pregnancy" appears in the blood of absolutely all expectant mothers

Therefore, it is so important to take care of yourself in advance and be extremely sensitive in the very first days of pregnancy.

To prevent threats, in the first days after conception, you should walk a lot in the fresh air, avoid overheating, hypothermia, stress, eat right, and follow a healthy lifestyle.

How to find out about the "interesting situation" in the early stages?

It is extremely difficult to determine an “interesting position” in short periods - only a week after conception. In the first days after conception, you can listen to internal sensations.

Consider the main ways to check pregnancy:

Possible individual sensations

Toxicosis can occur a week after conception, and after a few weeks

Every pregnancy is different for different women. Finding out if pregnancy is present on the first day after conception is almost impossible. But you can listen to your inner feelings and intuition.

1. There are such rare cases when, due to their high sensitivity, some expectant mothers can observe signs of conception of an embryo even in the first days. They seem to feel the presence of a baby inside themselves, so they are firmly convinced of this.
2. Not everyone has symptoms such as nausea, nervousness, apathy - they may not be at all throughout the entire period. In the early days, they also cannot unambiguously indicate the reliability of conception.
3. If, however, the symptoms manifest themselves in a far from favorable way: severe pain, prolonged discharge with blood, then you should immediately consult a doctor - this can threaten the unborn baby.

The 3rd week of pregnancy has come, which happens in the body of a woman who has recently learned about the conception that has occurred and is experiencing the first subtle symptoms that appear after the fertilization of the egg.

The third week of pregnancy - this concept has a different meaning for doctors and women who have their own approach to determining the onset of fertilization. In obstetric practice, 3 weeks of pregnancy corresponds to the moment of conception, because gynecologists conduct their calculations from the first day that came after the end of menstruation.

In theory, they are right, because conception in some women with a short cycle can occur on this day. It all depends on the characteristics of the menstrual cycle of each woman. But most often, fertilization occurs in the third week after the end of menstruation. Therefore, there are differences in the third obstetric week and the week, which is considered from the actual fertilization of the egg. Expectant mothers determine the onset of pregnancy more accurately, and consider the onset of 3 weeks of pregnancy from conception. Often women know exactly when pregnancy could have occurred, and do not agree with the calculations of the local gynecologist.

What happens during this period in the obstetric week

2-3 weeks of pregnancy at the gynecologist is the release of the egg from the bursting follicle and its movement through the fallopian tube. There she meets the male germ cell, connects with it, forms a zygote and moves into the uterus. For a woman, this is how pregnancy begins. In the third obstetric week, the fertilized egg should be able to gain a foothold on the wall of the uterus. If the endometrial layer lining the walls of the uterus is sufficient for this, then the pregnancy will proceed successfully. If the uterine cavity is not ready to accept the zygote, then the fertilized egg will be rejected, and the uterus will expel an unnecessary neoplasm (spontaneous abortion). The reason for this may be:

• initial defects in the DNA of female and male germ cells;
• violations in the work of the organs of internal secretion;
• acute and chronic sexually transmitted diseases;
• stressful situations.

The size of the egg is so tiny that a woman will not even understand that there was an unsuccessful attempt to get pregnant, and the body could not cope with the process that was supposed to happen. The risk of spontaneous abortion remains up to 12 weeks after conception.

If, however, the fertilized egg nevertheless invaded the layers of the endometrium, then the third week of obstetric counting is the first week of the life of the embryo. Implantation in the tissue of the uterine wall is usually completed by the end of 3 weeks after the end of menstruation. During this period, the hormone chorionic gonadotropin, called hCG, begins to be produced. It affects the corpus luteum of the ovary, stimulating the production of progesterone for the growth of the endometrium. The same hormone prevents the onset of menstruation.

Its amount at this time is still so small that the test for the presence of hCG in the urine most often shows one strip. The second strip may only be slightly visible after the test strip has been lying down for a while. But a more accurate confirmation of the onset of pregnancy can be expected no earlier than 10 days from the start of conception.

The implantation of a fertilized egg into the wall of the uterus triggers complex processes that will occur in the mother's body throughout the entire period of gestation, which are still little noticeable. Obstetric 3 weeks of pregnancy almost does not bring sensation. At this time, hormones that control the formation of the embryo begin to be produced, and biochemical processes that stimulate the ovaries are suppressed. A woman at this moment of body restructuring will experience slight discomfort, which she may not pay attention to. For some, the temperature rises slightly, a general malaise begins, but for many, everything goes unnoticed. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the organization of the metabolic processes of the expectant mother, her state of health and chronic diseases.

Features 3 weeks after conception

When 21 days passed after conception, the embryo had already embedded itself in the wall of the uterus, and the active formation of the placenta began in it. This is indicated by a clearly visible second strip on the test, which was created to determine the presence of hCG, a hormone that appears in the blood only after the fertilized egg is fixed in the uterus. At 3 weeks of pregnancy, the size of the embryo is only 16 mm, but it already has the rudiments of internal organs.

The fertilized egg by this time had already gone through a number of changes, and from a ball-shaped zygote, it first turned into a flat three-layer formation, consisting of an upper ectoblast, a middle mesoblast and a lower entoblast. The rudiments of all organs and tissues of the future organism were formed from these layers. The middle layer has evolved into the skeleton, muscles and circulatory system. For these formations from the body of a woman, thyroid hormone was required in large quantities.

The lower layer was transformed into the digestive and respiratory systems, and the upper one turned into layers of the epidermis, mucous tissues, tooth enamel. The state of the nails, hair, sweat glands of the future person depends on how the formation of the entoblast took place. The ectoblast is responsible for the formation of the nervous system and brain, the formation of receptor connections. The lens of the eye is also formed from the upper layer.

To start the transformation, the flat cake rolled up, its edges joined together and formed a hollow tube. At that moment, her magical transformation into an embryo began. This is facilitated by active tissue division, which leads to significant changes in the fetus.

5 obstetric week corresponds to 3 weeks from the date of conception. An ultrasound examination at the 3rd week of pregnancy and an enlarged photo taken on a modern device allow us to examine the embryo located in the uterus. It looks like an amphibian embryo, it has a head, torso and tail. The fetus is located in an egg made of leathery tissue, inside of which there are nutrients. The developing embryo already has the rudiments of the cardiovascular system, the heart muscle works.

At 3 weeks of pregnancy, a photo of the fetus allows you to see the neural tube, which is transformed into the spinal cord and the rudiment of the brain, which will be the basis of the human essence. During this period, the level of intelligence of the baby and his motor abilities are laid.

At 3 weeks 3 days of pregnancy, the fetus can see tiny hands, ears and eyes. In the enlarged photo, the embryo looks like a pretty nice creature growing inside the future mother.

What happens to the female body

The active development of the embryo requires biochemical substances that are responsible for its formation. Since the organs of internal secretion do not yet work for him, all processes occur at the expense of the maternal organism, which begins to increase the production of substances necessary for pregnancy.

At this moment, the work of all organs of internal secretion changes. The pituitary gland makes the thyroid gland and adrenal glands work actively to increase the amount of thyroid-stimulating and adrenocorticotropic hormones. It modifies the functioning of the ovaries, where the corpus luteum produces estrogen and progesterone. If he manages to regulate all biochemical processes, then the mother's body will not reject the fetus, and the pregnancy will continue to develop.

The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin during this period doubles its amount every other day. What is the amount of the hCG hormone in the blood can be found out by passing an analysis in the laboratory at the antenatal clinic. There are special tables, thanks to which, if necessary, you can find out how the pregnancy develops and in what place (in the uterus or outside this hollow female organ) the egg is fixed. An excess of hCG in the analysis indicates a multiple pregnancy, and the lack of growth of the hormone in the blood is a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.

Hormonal changes affect the general condition of the body. There are specific signs of pregnancy at 3 weeks. According to them, the onset of unplanned fertilization can be suspected. They are individual, but most often women feel:

• intolerance to saturated odors;
• nausea that occurs after eating;
• increased need for food;
• change in taste preferences;
• irritability;
• increased sensitivity of the mammary glands;
• bust size increase;
• drawing pains in the lower abdomen.

One or more of these symptoms should alert a woman if she does not know about the fertilization that has occurred, and make her buy a special test.

If the pregnancy was unplanned

An early pregnancy of 3 weeks allows you to get rid of an unplanned situation that can change a woman's whole life. Abortion during this period will bring minor harm to the body, which has just launched hormonal changes. A woman will not be able to get out of this situation painlessly, but disturbances in the work of the internal secretion organs and internal genital organs will be minimal.

How to terminate a pregnancy at 2-3 weeks to reduce the risk of adverse events that occur after its termination?

Abortion should always take place in a medical institution under the supervision of a gynecologist. The doctor before the operation is obliged to send the woman for examination and warn her of the onset of possible risks.

A gynecologist may suggest medical interruption of fetal development, which may be effective during this period, or a vacuum abortion. These forms are considered the most benign in the early stages, but may result in complications. Then curettage of the walls of the uterus is done, which is an abortion for medical reasons.

All medications designed to interrupt the development of the embryo in the early stages have side effects. They break the structure of the blood and lead to uterine bleeding, which is life-threatening. At home, it is difficult to stop them.

In the future, the risk of developing uterine fibroids and other pathological processes that develop in the internal genital organs increases. Women can suffer from endometriosis for a long time, and with this disease they will have great difficulty in carrying the desired child.

Disturbances in hormonal processes that occur during an abortion lead to disruption of the ovaries, which causes infertility in many women. The introduction of infection into the uterine cavity during an instrumental abortion can cause adhesions in the internal genital organs of a woman. These neoplasms cause ectopic pregnancies, which is deadly. Before you decide to take such a serious step as an abortion, you need to think about the fact that it's time to change your lifestyle, become more mature and move into a new motherhood, as all women should be.

For some, a child is a gift from above, especially if pregnancy does not occur for a long time.

Sometimes you really want to determine if there is a pregnancy even before the delay of menstruation! It turns out that this is possible, and already on the 3rd day after conception.

What are the main signs of pregnancy on day 3?

Unfortunately, not all women immediately notice their situation, but not because there are no symptoms, but simply not everyone listens to their body.

On the 3rd day after conception, many women lose their appetite, dizziness occurs, and may feel slightly nauseous. Also, a few days after conception, an increase in basal temperature, aching pain in the lower back or lower abdomen is possible. Basal temperature is often the main sign of conception that has occurred. As a rule, it will be slightly increased - about 37 degrees. However, conception can be tracked in this way only in cases where a woman constantly monitors any changes in basal temperature for a long time. Sometimes women notice abundant white vaginal discharge, confusing them with thrush.

When a couple plans a baby for a long time, but it doesn’t work out for a long time, the woman feels the slightest change in her body, because she listens very carefully. The signs of pregnancy on the third day are already quite obvious and noticeable if you carefully monitor your well-being. Of course, more than one test and analysis will not yet be able to diagnose pregnancy with 100% certainty, but this is not necessary. Enough maternal instinct and signs of a change in general well-being.

After the delay, it will already be possible to diagnose pregnancy using a test or analysis. However, tests do not always show two stripes. HCG analysis, which is also used to diagnose pregnancy, usually shows clear results only after a week of delay. In any case, for an accurate diagnosis, you need to be patient and carefully monitor the new signs that have appeared.

Why do signs appear on the 3rd day?

After the sperm fertilizes the egg, the fertilized egg begins to move into the uterine cavity through the fallopian tube. This promotion can last from 2-9 days. From the moment the fertilized egg moves into the uterus, the body begins to rebuild. Typically, this begins to happen by the third day.

Alas, getting pregnant is not as simple and easy as it seems. Therefore, those who are planning a child need to control ovulation, and then any changes in the body. In cases where it is not possible to get pregnant for more than a year, you should consult a doctor. Perhaps medical treatment is needed.

Long before last night, you sweetly began to plan: you focused on a healthy lifestyle, eliminated bad habits from your life, calculated the best day for conception. And so, just yesterday, you surrendered to love with your husband completely. And today you expect after conception.

What are they, what are they and in general can they be? Or when the days come in which you can notice the first symptoms of fertilization.

Everything related to conception and information about the very first signs of pregnancy, you will read in this article.

To know the exact day of conception, you need to have an organism that works like a clock.

Each woman has an individual character, so the time of her arrival varies.

If a woman’s monthly cycle is systematic, the girl feels her body perfectly and sees all the changes that occur to her every month, one can judge the accuracy of the arrival of ovulation. But this does not mean that she will become pregnant on the same days.

Several factors may influence this:

• The day you had sex. Spermatozoa in a woman's body can live up to 6 days;
• How long was the journey for the tadpole to reach the egg. These are: 2 centimeters of the cervix, 5 centimeters of the uterine cavity and 12 centimeters of the uterine tube. In time it will take about 3 hours.

After the sperm has reached the egg, fertilization occurs. From that moment on, it has a name - a zygote, which immediately begins to divide into cells until it turns into an embryo. During division, the zygote continues its journey to the uterine cavity.

Somewhere on the fifth or sixth day, the embryo reaches its goal, but is looking for a suitable place to attach. Such free swimming can last for two whole days.

When the place is determined, it begins to sink deep into the walls of the uterus, which can cause a small one, as it touches the blood vessels. It is on these days that a woman can detect small spotting from the vagina or see a small smearing spot on the underwear. This discharge is called implantation bleeding.

In total, this takes a week, and they may be the first signs of pregnancy after conception.

Signs of pregnancy after conception

As you can see, the process of fertilization is not simple. And it takes a little time to understand that a woman is expecting a baby.

There are ladies who claim to feel their position the day after the alleged conception. But this relates more to the so-called psychological sensation, but not to the physical one. Their belief in fertilization generates, about which the pregnant women themselves talk so much.

Dear girls, as many would like to feel pregnant right away, but this is impossible. The earliest signs of pregnancy may appear after a few days.

So, the earliest symptoms that a woman is expecting a baby are:

• Implantation bleeding. We have already talked about it, but this may not be observed in everyone;
• Increased salivation. Moreover, it occurs not only during the contemplation of food, but also in addition to this;
• Cramps in the calf area, especially at night;
• Dark spots. Some girls notice such spots on their face or notice a darkened line from the navel to the pubis;
• Metallic taste in the mouth;
• Problems with the intestines. Basically - it's constipation;
• Change in food and taste preferences;
• Soreness of the nipples and their swelling. Nature has laid in a woman the ability to lactate. And when a child is born in the body, it begins to actively prepare for feeding. Perhaps it will darken, individual tubercles will swell, the halo around the nipple will increase. In some situations, colostrum appears - a slight yellowish discharge from the nipples;
• Frequent urination. This is due to the hCG hormone, which supplies the small pelvis with a fast blood supply, which immediately leads to frequent urges. Even if the amount of urine is insignificant;
• Rapid fatigue and drowsiness. Progesterone in the body of the future mother begins to work with a sedative effect, and on top of that, the load increases, so he does not have enough strength for a full charge for a woman;
• Another hormone progesterone can increase natural out of the vagina;
• Emotional swings. Then the lady may experience high spirits and immediately cause a slight remark to lower it. From whiny it turns into playful, and then flows into the blues. And so on.
• Vertigo. Due to hormonal changes in the body of the expectant mother, blood pressure decreases. Especially, this applies to people with congenital low blood pressure (hypotonics).

When and for how long can you feel pregnant?

All of the above symptoms may appear immediately after the conception process, or they may not be at all or make themselves felt much later.

If we talk about more accurate ones, then here it will be after the second week of fertilization.

Women who are expecting a baby notice the following signs in later pregnancy:

• Delay of menstruation. One of the most accurate signs of pregnancy, given that the woman is fully healthy.
• basal temperature. It continues to be elevated, above 37 degrees, then this may indicate a possible pregnancy. It is worth measuring it in the morning (so that the body is in a state of calm for about 6 hours), without getting out of bed, an ordinary thermometer is inserted into the rectum (you can in the vagina or in the mouth) and leave it there for several minutes. This temperature should be measured at the same time, use the same thermometer, do not change the place of measurement.
• Positive pregnancy test. It is done after a delay. Urine is used in the morning (if the delay is insignificant). After a couple of minutes, you can see the result. Even the weakest second strip on the test can confirm a positive result. It is worth considering what can show and.
• HCG analysis. It is handed over for 3-5 days of delay. Blood is taken from a vein in the morning on an empty stomach. Situations where blood is donated at other times, you need to come without eating for 4-6 hours. An elevated level of hCG indicates the expectation of a child, and by the number of levels, one can judge the term of the embryo.
• Enlarged cervix. When a woman is sure that all her symptoms indicate the imminent appearance of a child, then this can be confirmed at a doctor's appointment. Any gynecologist will see a bluish tint of the cervix and feel for an enlarged uterus.
• ultrasound control. When there are several days of delay, you can contact the gynecologist and do an ultrasound. Already at 16-18 days from the alleged conception, a small, not yet a child, but an embryo is visible for sure. Also, with the help of ultrasound, the doctor will exclude an ectopic.
• A common symptom is. It appears 30-40 days from conception. Characterized by dizziness and vomiting. We note that toxicosis is an optional companion of a pregnant woman.

A bit of antiquity in our topic

Everyone knows that in ancient times our ancestors did not have such a rich set of pregnancy definitions. They, however, like us, always wanted to know about their child much earlier. I want to know about conception almost immediately, the very next day.

So our ancestors were looking for all sorts of ways to determine pregnancy immediately after ovulation.

So they had their own methods:

• Jewish women on such days were forced to walk on tall grass, and if there was a deep mark on it, then it means that they were pregnant.
• Egypt immediately gave its expectant mothers to drink grass buddu-ka plus mother's milk who gave birth to a boy. If after that the woman became ill, everything came back, then this was considered a sure sign of pregnancy.
• Even the ancient Egyptians gave the girls to pee in a container with wheat and barley. As a result, if wheat germinated, it will be, if barley -. In a situation where there were no results, nothing sprouted, it meant no pregnancy. An interesting fact: after, somewhere in the 20th century, studies were carried out, and so, the results state that the accuracy of this method is 70%. Here's how. Girls, take note, you will be the first.
• And the Germans used women's urine to water flowers. And if after watering they bloomed, came to life and were fragrant, then she is expecting a child soon.
• The Italians generally mixed wine and urine in a 1:1 ratio. If the liquid became transparent, cheers -. In principle, this can be explained scientifically: the reaction of alcohol with protein in the urine.
• In some ancient civilizations, women collected urine in a container and dipped an ordinary metal key into it. Four hours later he was removed from there. Seeing the trace of the key at the bottom, they congratulated on conception.

There are also quite ridiculous definitions of an interesting position:

• In a certain country, two onions were placed in a container of water: one was considered pregnant, and the other was not. Whichever one reaches 4 cm first, that will mean conception or not.
• The notorious Hippocrates claimed that the iris of the eyes changes in a pregnant woman;
• Somewhere in one of the countries at the wedding, the bride was wearing a necklace. Days passed and when the beads began to press on the neck, it meant a quick replenishment in the family. Science gives an explanation here too: many expectant mothers suffer from an enlarged thyroid gland.
• But some luminaries of science have come up with this method: injecting the urine of a possible pregnant woman into experimental animals (mice, rabbits). After 4-5 days, the animal was dissected. Enlargement of the ovaries spoke of a positive result. This method of determination was used until the beginning of the 20th century.

Reading these lines, you think how good it is that on the street the civilized world and science has provided us with many accurate methods for determining an interesting position without suffering anyone, including women.

When pregnancy is confirmed

Two cherished stripes on the test

Separately, I would like to discuss the question of how to behave as a pregnant woman.

Days passed and a miracle happened. The woman is 100% sure that she is pregnant. Then she begins a long journey, 9 months long, when you need to be careful, monitor your health, take care of physical activity and prepare to become a mother. Especially you need to monitor your condition.

Adhering to simple rules, a woman will give birth to a healthy and strong child without any problems.

The rules are as follows:

• Register with a women's clinic.
• Hand over everything prescribed by a doctor.
• Before each visit to the gynecologist, take urine for analysis;
• Visit the doctor in the first and second trimester - once a month, in the third - every two weeks.
• If any abnormalities are found in the condition of the pregnant woman, inform the observing doctor;
• Proper nutrition, stress minimization, good mood - this is the key to a successful pregnancy.

Whatever the signs of pregnancy in one woman, in another, they can be exactly the opposite. Early symptoms are not always present, and sometimes they are absent altogether. And only time will tell whether you will be a mom or you still have everything ahead.
