Pregnancy Birth

Pregnancy and birth are profound life events that involve significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Understanding these processes can help expectant parents navigate this transformative journey with confidence and preparedness. This overview will cover the stages of pregnancy, prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postnatal care. Fertilization occurs, and the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, marking the beginning of pregnancy. The embryo develops vital organs, and significant hormonal changes occur, often leading to symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. Initial prenatal visits include confirming the pregnancy, estimating the due date, and assessing overall health. The fetus grows rapidly, developing a more defined body structure and beginning movements felt by the mother. Common symptoms include increased energy, visible baby bump, and the possibility of feeling fetal movements.
