Pregnancy II: Basics and Diagnosis

Pregnancy is the period during which a woman carries a fetus developing in her body. This process is special for every woman and requires special attention and care. In this article we will look at the main aspects of pregnancy II and how to diagnose it.

The duration of human pregnancy is usually approximately 266 days, from the moment of fertilization until the birth of the child, or 280 days, from the first day of the last menstrual period. However, each pregnancy may have its own characteristics and the duration may differ from the average.

During pregnancy, a woman experiences various changes in her body. For example, menstruation stops completely, the mammary glands swell, sometimes there is an increase in appetite, and there may also be morning sickness. These changes are associated with the production of the progestogen hormone, which is produced in the placenta.

There are various methods for diagnosing pregnancy. One of the most popular is a pregnancy test, which can be purchased in pharmacies. It is based on determining the level of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman’s urine. This hormone begins to be produced immediately after fertilization and its levels double every two days in the first weeks of pregnancy. You can also diagnose pregnancy using ultrasound and listening to the fetal heartbeat.

During pregnancy, it is important to monitor your health and eat right to ensure that your baby has everything it needs to develop properly. It is also necessary to undergo regular examinations with a doctor to monitor the progress of pregnancy and prevent possible complications.
