Feelings at conception. Small spotting. Feeling tired and headache

A woman planning a pregnancy should be extremely responsible for any changes and new sensations in her body. Already in the first days of the alleged pregnancy after the fertilization of the egg and its attachment in the uterine cavity, the girl may experience not very pleasant sensations, and for some, this period generally becomes the most difficult time in the entire pregnancy, both physically and psychologically.

Doctors distinguish two terms by which pregnancy is calculated. From the first day of the last menstruation, experts count the so-called obstetric period, but it does not coincide with the true period, which begins from the moment the egg is fertilized. Doctors most often use the obstetric term to calculate the number of weeks of pregnancy, since it is impossible to accurately calculate the day of conception in most cases. It is possible to find out the true time only if a woman closely monitors the menstrual cycle and knows on which days she ovulates. To help determine pregnancy at a very early stage - literally in the first days after conception, there may be some changes and symptoms that are not characteristic of a woman's usual condition.

What happens in the body after conception

From a scientific point of view, the first few days after the fertilization of an egg with a sperm cannot be called a full pregnancy. The fact is that it (the egg) will move for 7-10 days to the most suitable place in the uterine cavity, where it will attach and begin to develop from an embryo to a fetus. You can talk about the onset of pregnancy only from the moment when the egg is attached to the wall of the uterus. It should be noted that if consolidation has not occurred, then menstruation will surely occur and the woman will not even know that conception has occurred.

In the event that the fertilized egg has reached the uterine cavity and is firmly embedded in its wall, the embryo has been implanted. After the successful completion of this process, the process of formation of the umbilical cord and placenta, which is equally important at the initial stage, will begin, which will provide a connection between the mother and her child throughout the entire period of pregnancy. During the period of conception of a new life, it is after the introduction of the embryo into the walls of the uterus that it is important, dangerous and decisive, since at this time the female body perceives the fertilized egg as a foreign body, which means it will try to get rid of it.

If there was a successful implantation of the embryo in the uterine cavity, first of all, hormonal changes in the body will begin. In this case, a special hormone is responsible for the safety of the fetus, which begins to be produced already in the first stages after fertilization. Therefore, if the blood test data show the presence of this hormone in the body, we can confidently state the fact of pregnancy. As a rule, specialists, when confirming pregnancy, trust the blood test for hCG to a greater extent than conventional tests. Despite this, the pregnancy test also reacts to the level of the hCG hormone, therefore it is also one of the most effective methods for diagnosing conception.

How to recognize the early days of pregnancy

The main sign of the onset of pregnancy in a healthy woman is a delay in menstruation. In the event that a woman does not follow her menstrual cycle, she runs the risk of learning about pregnancy only at 2-3 weeks of the term. But if you pay close attention to your own feelings and note any changes in the usual vaginal discharge, then several characteristic signs can indicate the process of implantation of the embryo in the uterus:

• Scanty bleeding from the vagina ... Approximately 7-12 days after fertilization of the egg, the embryo will enter the walls of the uterus, which is accompanied by minor bleeding. In medicine, this discharge is called implantation bleeding and is usually noticeable by a few brownish or yellowish spots on underwear... A girl who is not planning a pregnancy, in most cases, will perceive this phenomenon as the beginning of the next menstruation. It is worth noting that the appearance of these discharge after the pregnancy has already been diagnosed is a sign of any pathology or threat. Sometimes insignificant discharge may be absent altogether, since in each particular case everything will depend on the individual characteristics of the organism.
• Elevated body temperature and basal temperature. Most often, when planning pregnancy, it is customary to use the basal temperature measurement method to determine the time of the onset of ovulation. After the successful fertilization of the egg, the basal temperature level first drops, and only after a while it increases again. A decrease in basal temperature in the first days of pregnancy is facilitated by 2 factors: the first - the temperature lowers the release of the hormone estrogen, which occurs when pregnancy occurs; the second is an increase in the intensity of progesterone production, which also affects temperature.
• Regular mild sickness. Often, in the early days of pregnancy, a woman's health sharply worsens: weakness and constant drowsiness appear. Some expectant mothers may even get a cold and complain of sore throats and a runny nose. In general, such a deterioration in the general condition of the body, first of all, is caused by a decrease in the protective properties of female immunity, which directed all its forces to the fight against the embryo penetrating into the walls of the uterus.
• Hypersensitivity of the mammary glands. In the first days after conception, a woman's breasts begin to fill, moreover, painful sensations may appear with any touch. In other words, the sensitivity of the mammary glands increases significantly. Sometimes even the slightest touch can cause severe pain to a woman. For example, if before conception a woman's breasts filled up and became more sensitive before each period, then after pregnancy the mammary glands may not bother at all. Among other things, it is worth noting that at a very early stage of pregnancy, colostrum can often be released when pressing on the areola of the nipple.
• Feeling of heaviness in the pelvic area. One of the most noticeable signs of pregnancy at a very early stage is a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic area. In many women, after conception, the ability to feel their own uterus appears immediately after the successful implantation of the embryo into the organ wall. Naturally, in each case, the degree of intensity of these sensations differs, which depends on the individual characteristics of the female body.
• Regular tingling in the uterus. This symptom is not necessary for every case of pregnancy, but sometimes it can also tell a woman about a successful conception and embryo implantation.
• Unexpected early toxicosis. This kind of malaise is usually accompanied by nausea and vomiting, as well as some other symptoms that are characteristic of pregnancy. In the first days after conception, toxicosis manifests itself in the form of sensitivity to certain smells and tastes. Moreover, a pregnant woman may suddenly develop a persistent aversion to her favorite foods and drinks. Sometimes, a pregnant woman, on the contrary, begins to love those products (see) for which she previously felt disgust. During pregnancy, some feel the desire to eat something completely incompatible, for example - fish with compote or chocolate, sweet fruits with sausage, others are horrified at the sight of such food.

Why is it important to be examined by a gynecologist in early pregnancy?

Many women who have confirmed pregnancy may not understand the need to undergo a full examination by a gynecologist. Nevertheless, both parents should be examined even at the stage of pregnancy planning in order to exclude most of the possible risks and complications after conceiving a child. Regular and frequent visits to the gynecologist during pregnancy planning are important for several reasons:

• The survey allows you to timely identify any diseases and sexually transmitted infections.
• Examination by a gynecologist will help protect the fetus from the negative effects of many harmful substances. This even applies to those medicines and dietary supplements that are taken for preventive purposes. The unborn child can be harmed by sleeping pills, sedatives and many vitamins, due to which children are often born with various congenital defects.
• The gynecologist will explain to the expectant mother that she should, as far as possible, refuse to undergo fluorography, will tell you how to register and what scheduled examinations to take. For example, a pregnant woman should undergo an ultrasound scan at 12, 20 and 32 weeks of the term, and also be examined by an ophthalmologist, therapist and an ENT specialist when registering with a consultation - at 30 weeks of pregnancy. It is necessary to donate urine for analysis every time before visiting a personal gynecologist in a antenatal clinic. Once a month, the expectant mother must pass a mandatory general blood test.

Feelings in the first days after conception

As practice shows, in the first days of pregnancy, with the normal course of the fertilization process and embryo implantation, a healthy woman will practically not feel anything, and even more so she will not notice the beginning of the body's restructuring to maintain a new state. in the form of regular nausea and the urge to vomit can manifest itself only in a small number of women who are not distinguished by good health and immunity. Nevertheless, the expectant mother may note slight difficulties with sleep, the appearance of fatigue, as well as frequent and unreasonable mood swings.

More attentive women, after conception, will notice an increase in body temperature, an increase in libido, as well as a large amount of whitish and transparent vaginal discharge. In addition, in expectant mothers literally from the first days after conception, the mammary glands begin to prepare for the subsequent feeding of the child after childbirth, therefore, breast tenderness begins to increase and the sensitivity of the nipples increases. Painful sensations in the lower abdomen in the first days of pregnancy are also not excluded, but they do not pose a threat to the unborn child.

Dangerous symptoms in the early stages

Any disturbance, stress or harmful influence from the outside can lead to a pregnancy failure and miscarriage, or provoke fetal freezing. That is why, literally from the first week after conception, it is important for a woman to be attentive to her health and pay attention to any changes. The main alarming symptom, which may indicate smearing or bloody discharge from the vagina. In addition to them, sudden and regular cramps in the lower abdomen - in the uterus region, will tell about serious problems.

In the case of a frozen pregnancy, a woman does not have any alarming symptoms. The only thing that can tell about the cessation of fetal development is the suddenly stopped toxicosis. At the same time, the mammary glands again become painful, as before conception, and the gynecologist, during a routine examination, will note the termination of the increase in the uterus in size, or its inconsistency with the norm adopted for the current period. If a woman has noticed such symptoms, she should seek help.

At 5-6 weeks of the term, the embryo should listen to the heartbeat on an ultrasound scan, so if the specialist does not record the contraction of the heart muscles on the apparatus, this confirms the cessation of fetal development. In this state of affairs, the specialist can take a wait-and-see attitude until the woman's body spontaneously gets rid of the frozen embryo, but if this does not happen within a strictly defined period, an abortion operation is prescribed.

False symptoms in the early days of pregnancy

It should be noted that the symptoms characteristic of the first days of pregnancy do not always indicate the fertilization of the egg and the attachment of the embryo in the uterine cavity. Sometimes signs of pregnancy appear due to problems with bowel function, or indicate the presence of cervical erosion and other diseases of the genital organs. Symptoms such as bleeding, nausea, and increased urination should be monitored carefully.

Imaginary pregnancy

In some cases, even in the presence of all possible signs of pregnancy, the fact of conception was not. Doctors call this condition in a woman an imaginary pregnancy, it usually occurs in those women who have been striving to have a child for a long time. Much less often, but still predisposed to the syndrome of "false pregnancy" are women who fear becoming mothers in the near future.

In a real pregnancy, all the characteristic symptoms are due to serious hormonal changes in the body, but in an imaginary pregnancy, their appearance has completely different reasons. Usually, signs of an imaginary pregnancy appear due to stress, infectious diseases, hormonal imbalance and various disorders in the work of the gastrointestinal tract. Unhealthy diet, depression and a particular psychological attitude play an important role in the onset of symptoms.

Features of the physical and psychological health of the expectant mother

In some cases, even a perfectly healthy woman in the first days of pregnancy may experience health problems and worsen well-being. Consider a few of the most common types of ailments in the early days after conception and effective ways to deal with the problems. In the early days of pregnancy, a woman may develop:

• cystitis and pyelonephitis - diseases of the bladder and kidneys, which are often found in women in an interesting position. At the first symptoms - pain in the lower back and lower abdomen, as well as fever, you should immediately contact a urologist and take the necessary tests. The fact is that in the first days after conception, the fetus is particularly susceptible to any infections, since there is still no protective shell - the placenta.
• low blood pressure - accompanied by causeless weakness and constant fatigue, and is especially common in the early stages of pregnancy. In this case, expectant mothers are strictly forbidden to raise blood pressure with the help of medications, but it is also forbidden to play sports in the 1st trimester, so they are advised to be more outdoors and walk.
• flatulence and constipation - these unpleasant phenomena are possible with improper nutrition of a pregnant woman, or due to minor physiological changes in the work of the digestive system. During pregnancy, peristalsis slows down a little, which leads to constipation, so expectant mothers are advised to consume more liquid in order to replenish the lack of moisture in the intestines. To cope with constipation can help such folk remedies as prunes and dried apricots, which can be added to oatmeal, or cooked from them a decoction.
• toxicosis - many of the fair sex, in the first days after conception, may experience the first ailments, such as nausea and gag reflex. Toxicosis in mild to moderate form is not dangerous, since the pregnant woman experiences mild discomfort in the stomach every morning. A severe form of toxicosis already requires treatment in a hospital under medical supervision.
• abdominal pain - sometimes it can be a concern if it becomes regular and quite strong. In the early days of pregnancy, it is a common occurrence that occurs for many reasons, but medications prescribed by a doctor can help to cope with them. You can relieve tension in the muscles of the uterus quite easily if you lie on your side for a while.
• psychological condition - at the beginning of the term, it is more than unstable, even if the expectant mother does not know about her position. She may be subject to frequent mood swings - depression, increased anxiety. In this case, the pregnant woman is advised to give up reading books, studying specialized forums about pregnancy, watching movies with a scary plot, and so on. It is best to surround yourself with positive things and not compare your own state with any negative situations.

Actions of a pregnant woman in the first days

When planning a pregnancy and in the first days of confirming a successful conception, it is important for a woman to immediately change her own lifestyle. Of course, it is best to do this at least six months before pregnancy, but not everyone manages to predict everything and plan correctly. As far as possible - if the expectant mother has a lot of free time, it is better not to lose the opportunity and start studying books about pregnancy early, attend specialized courses, and, in principle, try to learn as much as possible about the period of gestation, childbirth, caring for an infant and raising a child ...

The period of the 1st trimester is the most responsible, so it must be filled with only positive impressions, and for this it is worth talking frankly with the child's father about all the upcoming changes and possible difficulties associated with pregnancy. In order not to spoil the mood with constant malaise caused by pain in the lower abdomen, the expectant mother should always have a no-shpa or rectal suppositories at hand, since doctors are allowed to take these medications in the first days after conception.

In general, it is especially important for a pregnant woman in the early stages to try not to get sick, since at this time all the internal organs and systems of the fetus are laid. When pregnancy falls in the autumn-winter period, the expectant mother should protect herself from all kinds of infections - visit less places where a large number of people gather and lubricate the nasal cavity with oxolinic ointment before going outside. When the first suspicions of an infectious disease appear, you should immediately consult a doctor and begin treatment. It is better to refuse to use folk remedies, or to act very carefully.

All women planning a pregnancy know that the first week is the most important. Although the expectant mother does not feel any changes, it is at the moment of conception and in the first days of pregnancy after conception, when the fertilized egg descends through the fallopian tube and attaches to the mucous membrane of the uterine wall, that the probability of miscarriage is greatest. The embryo contains 46 chromosomes, 23 of which he takes from his mother. But, despite this, the female body can perceive the embryo as a foreign body, and try to get rid of it. And the stronger the reaction of a woman's immune system, the greater the risk. A healthy female body at this moment slightly suppresses its own immunity.

It sometimes happens that in the first week after conception, a woman may experience slight bleeding. It is caused by the implantation of the embryo into the wall of the uterus. Small pains in the early days of pregnancy in the lower abdomen are usually not a cause for concern. But if the pain intensifies, you need to see a doctor.

Having securely attached to the wall of the uterus, the embryo becomes part of the mother's body for nine long months. And the expectant mother is responsible for the condition of the fetus. Therefore, from the very first days of pregnancy, as soon as possible, a woman should undergo a full examination and register with a gynecologist.

First sensations days of pregnancy

Already in the first week of pregnancy, hormonal changes begin. The active release of the hormone progesterone, which is responsible for carrying pregnancy, can affect the well-being of the expectant mother. And the baby test will easily show the presence of pregnancy, even if there is more than a week before the next menstruation.

Starting from the second week, the threat of miscarriage was over. The kid starts to grow. The formation of the most important organs and systems takes place. At this time, the placenta is formed, which for the next nine months will be a transmission link between the mother's body and the child, passing only the most useful substances to the baby, and preventing the penetration of harmful viruses and microbes.

During the first days and weeks of pregnancy, a number of changes are observed in the female body that many women feel. Already at the first examination by a gynecologist, the doctor may notice a change in the color of the internal and external genital organs, the shape and size of the uterus. During the first days of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges due to blood flow, and the woman may feel slight tingling sensations. Because of the increase in the size of the uterus and its pressure on the bladder, the urge to urinate increases. For the same reason, some expectant mothers may experience hemorrhoids. The stomach sometimes aches a little in the early days of pregnancy. But usually after a few weeks, when the body is completely rebuilt, the discomfort disappears.

Another clear sign of pregnancy is a change in the mammary glands. In the first days of pregnancy, the breast increases slightly, it becomes more sensitive. You can see veins on it, and also notice that the skin around the nipples has darkened slightly. Such changes become even more evident in the second week of pregnancy. The chest begins to respond to any touch. Pain and discomfort appear. But such a reaction of the mammary glands to the onset of pregnancy is not typical for all women.

The temperature rises in the early days of pregnancy. The pressure usually decreases. The fever usually lasts during the first trimester of pregnancy. And because of this, the woman is thrown into the heat, then into the cold. And in the evening before going to bed, there may be redness on the cheeks.

Such rapid changes in the body, together with changes in the hormonal background, lead to the fact that a woman's mood often changes. The joy of future motherhood is suddenly replaced by irritability, tearfulness and apathy. The increased production of the hormone progesterone, which depresses the psyche, leads to drowsiness. Further during pregnancy, the feeling of malaise passes, since the hormone estrogen, which is produced at a later date, is able to stimulate the psyche of the expectant mother.

But do not confuse mental fatigue with real physical ailment. Due to a decrease in immunity, a woman may indeed develop colds or exacerbate chronic diseases. Be careful and be sure to consider your new status during treatment. Remember that many drugs are contraindicated for pregnant women.

Finally, let's talk about the taste preferences of expectant mothers. They tend to change early in pregnancy. Love for some products disappears and a woman suddenly wants to eat something that she could not stand before. This is normal and is due to a lack of certain vitamins, which the female body is trying with all its might to replenish.

In addition, the woman's sense of smell increases, and she begins to feel the taste and smell of the dish more vividly. Salivation is activated, appetite may increase. But along with a good appetite during the day comes daily morning sickness, which disappears only in the second trimester of pregnancy.

It is believed that any woman is able to feel that she will soon become a mother. But it also happens that the expectant mother does not feel any changes in her body for a very long time and does not suspect about her pregnancy until the very delay in menstruation. Regardless of how exactly you found out about your pregnancy, try to be immediately examined and registered so that the pregnancy goes smoothly and without complications.

Those women who are planning to become mothers take the sensations in the first days of pregnancy with great responsibility. Observing their bodies, they tend to see any signs of the emergence of a new life.

Experts note that there are two periods of your pregnancy: obstetric period (counted from the first day of menstruation) and true period (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 are going to talk about the first signs of pregnancy at the true date.

The first days of pregnancy after conception: what happens in the body

Turning to science, we note that the first week after conception cannot yet be called pregnancy. The fact is that a fertilized egg moves within 7-10 days to the place where it will be located and develop from embryo to fetus. Only after its attachment 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 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 conceiving 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, first of all, in the body occurs hormonal changes ... A woman begins to produce a special hormone that is responsible for the preservation of the fetus in the female body in the early 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 hCG blood tests 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. There are several signs that the embryo is implanted into the walls of the uterus in the first days after conception.

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

2. Increased body temperature and basal temperature. When planning a pregnancy, the method of measuring basal temperature is often used to determine the timing of ovulation. With successful fertilization of the egg, this temperature first drops and then rises. Reduced is due to two factors:

• with the onset of pregnancy, estrogen is released, which lowers the temperature;
• progesterone is again produced more strongly, which raises the temperature.

Thus, by monitoring your basal temperature, when a pregnancy has already been confirmed, you can see a "pit" with a decrease in temperature on the graph. This decline lasts only 1 day, then the temperature rises. The 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 the recession, then the increased temperature cannot be overlooked for 2-3 weeks.

3. Feeling slightly unwell ... The well-being of a woman in the first days of pregnancy may worsen. Drowsiness and weakness often appear. Many even get a little sick, complaining of a throat and a runny nose. This is all due to a decrease in immunity and the body's struggle with the embryo being introduced.

In the first trimester, body temperature is always elevated, but not significantly. Hence the general weakness. The main condition for the normal course of pregnancy with such a malaise is not to be treated with medicines 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, and can drag on until the 10th week of pregnancy, when more estrogen is produced.

4. Breast tenderness ... In the first days of pregnancy, a woman's breasts begin to swell, pain appears, that is, her sensitivity increases. Even the slightest touch can be painful.

Sometimes the opposite happens. Previously, a woman had painful sensations before every menstruation, but now she is surprised that her chest does not hurt. Soon after an amazing moment, she learns about the pregnancy that has come. Often, when pressing on the areola, colostrum can be released in early pregnancy.

5. Severity in the pelvic area ... The 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 embryo implantation. The degree of this sensation is individual for each organism.

6. Tingling in the uterus ... Also, an individual indicator of pregnancy and may indicate not only a successful conception and implantation.

7. Early toxicosis , 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. Feelings of disgust for previously loved foods may develop.

In the early days of pregnancy, you may fall in love with things that you used to hate. Also for early dates, strange food combinations are characteristic: herring with compote, ram with chocolate, pineapple with sausage. The surrounding people grimace 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 woman's genital organs. These symptoms include bleeding, and nausea, increased urination, breast swelling can also indicate not only the onset of pregnancy.

The first days of pregnancy: what to do

Any method for 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 next day after fertilization. Analysis for hCG, pregnancy test, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is best done in the first week of missed periods.

When planning a pregnancy and assuming its onset, you should completely change your lifestyle even 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 do the test. A visit to a 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 next 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 your dad-to-be 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 manifest themselves very intensely 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 takes place. The first days of pregnancy play a huge role in the onset of pregnancy in general.

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

The first days of pregnancy (video)

I like!

The very first weeks are a truly memorable and very exciting period in life for every woman. However, in most cases, it is during this period that she is in the dark, trying to find in herself the very first signs of pregnancy.

The obvious signs of pregnancy are the absence of menses and the appearance of two clear lines on the test.

Other signs of pregnancy

During pregnancy, relaxin is secreted by the corpus luteum, placenta and part of the decidua. It is believed to cause remodeling of the connective tissue of the reproductive tract and especially causes biochemical changes in the cervix.

What happens to a woman's body after conception

Although levels of relaxin during pregnancy are more than 10 times higher than non-pregnant levels, experts currently do not believe that this hormone has a direct effect on actual ligamentous weakening. Joint weakness and a shift in the center of gravity can contribute to an increase in gait instability; These changes are most exaggerated in late pregnancy.

But a woman still tries to determine conception earlier, to find out what sensations at the beginning of pregnancy are her evidence. After all, a woman's body "signals" about conception much earlier than it can be accurately determined. That is why women who think they are pregnant often ask friends: “ What were your first signs of pregnancy?", And also try to" listen "to their own body and notice a variety of signs: heaviness in the uterus, tingling in the nipple, hunger and other harbingers. But nevertheless, it should be remembered that secondary signs are not an absolute guarantee of the onset of pregnancy.

More than 50% of gravitational women complain of low back pain during pregnancy, which can also be associated with dysfunction of the sacroiliac joints or spasmodic muscle spasm. It is not accompanied by any functional osteoporosis, although pregnancy is a very high state of bone turnover, roughly equivalent to doubling the rate of bone loss in a postmenopausal woman, reversibly losing about 2% of bone during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Spinal changes are usually not severe enough to affect pregnancy or lung function.

In addition, such symptoms of pregnant women do not always bother everyone. But these manifestations take place in most expectant mothers. You can find out below how to get confirmation of an "interesting" situation in a short period of time, after what time the first signs of pregnancy appear.

Signs of pregnancy: subjective feelings

Ovulation - This is the process when an egg ready for fertilization comes out of the ovarian follicle into the abdominal cavity. Ovulation occurs around day 12 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle. It is during this period that conception is most likely. However, there are certain reasons for delayed ovulation, they can be associated with stress, diseases of the genital area, imbalance and others. But even in this case, fertilization can occur. In some cases, it is necessary to accurately set the time of ovulation in order to increase the likelihood of conception.

In addition, pregnancy rarely affects the degree of lateral curvature in these cases of scoliosis. If a pregnant patient has had a correction with a prior Harrington injection, pregnancy, labor and delivery are usually not affected. The epidural space may become distorted and some anesthetists may refuse to place epidural anesthetics in these patients.

When do changes in the pelvic contour occur?

The pelvis continues to grow about 3 years after menarche, so it is more common in young women, and women after menarche are more at risk for difficult labor due to the relative size mismatch between the fetal head and the mother's pelvis. The symphysis locus can increase from about 3-4 mm in zero pairs to about 5 mm in the multifinger, but during pregnancy itself the average distance is about 7-8 mm.

When does fetal movement usually occur?

Most women feel the onset of fetal movement before 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Sometimes, during ovulation, a woman shows certain signs. In frequency, some women have lower back pain at this time, tingling in the ovary, an increase in mucous secretions, bloating, etc. There are also minor secretions - blood during ovulation can be released only in small amounts. Some women claim to have felt lower back pain after ovulation when conception occurred. But a week after ovulation is too short a time to conduct a test. Moreover, on day 4 or day 5, pregnancy cannot be determined by a gynecologist.

When can a hCG test be done after conception?

Early fetal movement is most often felt when the woman is sitting or lying quietly and concentrating on her body. It is commonly referred to as a tickling or feathered sensation below the umbilical region. The point at which a woman feels the movement of the child is called revival.

The location of the placenta can affect the acceleration time. The anterior placenta can "soften" fetal movement and delay maternal detection of fetal movement. As the fetus grows, the feelings of fetal movement become stronger, more regular, and easier to detect. While there is no absolute number indicating fetal well-being, typical guidance might include that the fetus should move about 4 times per hour as it grows, and some clinicians advise patients to count fetal movements to keep track of carnal well-being.

At this time and, and reasons nausea are most likely not related to pregnancy. But on about the 7th day, sensations uncharacteristic for a woman are already gradually beginning to appear. It is advisable to carry out the test no earlier than 10 days after ovulation. During this period, the cervix, if conception has occurred, gradually becomes looser. More abundant discharge also appears if conception has occurred.

What Breast Changes Are Normal During Pregnancy?

Changes associated with pregnancy include growth and enlargement, tenderness, darkened nipples, and darkened veins due to increased blood flow. In addition, small, small raised joints appear around the areola in mid-pregnancy.

How much uterus grows during pregnancy

The shape also develops during pregnancy from an initial pear-shaped shape to a more round shape, and it is almost a sphere at the beginning of the third trimester. The uterus becomes fully ovoid. After 20 weeks of pregnancy, most women begin to appear pregnant on visual examination.

For those who are interested in how many days after conception pregnancy occurs, it should be borne in mind that the day on which pregnancy occurs after conception depends on the movement of the fertilized egg to the uterus. This period is 7 to 10 days. Accordingly, after the implantation of the egg in the uterus, changes begin in the body, when a number of new symptoms for the expectant mother appear.

Uterine dimensions of the uterus and relative position in the abdominal cavity throughout pregnancy. Galactorrhea is the product of the combined effects of prolactin, glucocorticoids, progesterone, and human placental lactogen. At that time, high levels of progesterone that block milk excretion fall out with the delivery of the placenta. Early galactorrhea does not mean that a woman will produce less milk after giving birth. Some women experience discharge beginning before the fifth month of pregnancy.

After how many days other unpleasant phenomena begin, depends, first of all, on the characteristics of the female body. For example, women who track basal temperature note unusual basal temperature graphs.

Most expectant mothers are interested in what the first signs of pregnancy before a delay can appear in a woman. But it must be borne in mind that early symptoms, when there is still a week before menstruation or 4 days before menstruation, are subjective. Since after conception, even in the period when up to menstruation for 2 days or more, tremendous changes are already taking place in the body, special sensations in a woman can be noted, as evidenced by numerous reviews.

Cystitis as a signal of pregnancy

Many women find that they spontaneously ooze or express some fluid by the ninth month. The early secretion of milk, known as colostrum, is watery and pale. Colostrum has more protein and lower fat levels than mature milk.

Physiological adaptations to pregnancy

Why Do Women Undergo Skin Pigmentation Changes During Pregnancy

Pigmentation changes are directly related to increased levels of melanocytic hormones during pregnancy. Some evidence suggests that elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone cause hyperpigmentation in women. It usually manifests itself in the nipples, navels, axillary muscles, perineum, and the alba ruler, which darken so much that they can be considered a linear nigra. More than 90% of patients have darkening of the skin.

Often, the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation can in fact be symptoms of pronounced. But the same primary signs are possible immediately after conception. If PMS is not a typical condition for a woman, then she perceives the initial signs as an unusual phenomenon, and when such symptoms appear, she thinks about whether it is possible to determine pregnancy in the early stages.

Darkening of the face, called melasma, is diffuse macular facial hyperpigmentation. When melanosis occurs as a result of pregnancy, it is known as chloasma. This is due to the fact that the pigment is deposited in the epidermis itself. Distribution is usually sparse, but may be central or mandibular. Ultraviolet irradiation enhances melasma, and appropriate sunscreen reduces the effect. Because it is related to pregnancy hormones, it decreases with delivery.

Does the basal temperature change after conception?

Other pigmentation changes such as palmar erythema, pseudoacanthosis nigikan, vulvar or dermal melanocytosis, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to specific dermatological conditions of pregnancy are also fairly common.

Early signs of pregnancy before a delay in menstruation may be as follows:

Early diagnosis of pregnancy allows you to know if conception has occurred, even if there are no signs described above. But defining such subjective feelings in oneself helps those women who ask whether it is possible to find out about pregnancy before the delay. Although the most accurate data on pregnancy can only be given later - hypersensitive test ... But even the most sensitive specimens can end up being interpreted as a weakly positive test if a pregnancy test was done too early. The earliest term for determining conception is 20-21 days from the date of the last menstruation. That is why most women are trying to figure out how to find out if there is a positive result, how to find out if conception has occurred.

Should You Avoid Certain Foods During Pregnancy?

Pregnant women are at increased risk of bacterial food poisoning. To ensure the safety of both the mother and the fetus, it is important to take steps to prevent foodborne diseases, including. Use a meat thermometer to determine the appropriate temperature, although cooking to well done is safe for most meats. Avoid foods containing unpasteurized milk, including soft cheeses such as brie, feta, and blue cheese. Also avoid unpasteurized juice. Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly to eliminate harmful bacteria. Caffeine crosses the placenta and can affect the fetal heart rate.

• Cooking food properly to kill bacteria.
• Boil the eggs until they turn a hard yolk and turn white.

Infection with this organism can cause hearing loss, mental retardation and blindness in newborns.

If a woman kept a BT schedule, then is it possible to understand that she is pregnant, the basal temperature will help, which during pregnancy does not decrease as it happens before menstruation.

Paternal age has been identified as a significant predictor of schizophrenia. Research also suggests a possible link between advanced paternal age and offspring with autism spectrum disorders. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends an age limit of 50 years for sperm donors.

Any family with a history of birth defects should seek individualized genetic counseling. To determine if a person has a family history of risk, patients should inform their clinician or genetic counselor of any birth defects that have occurred within the past three generations.

There are a number of other signs that a woman is interested in, in order to find out that she is pregnant, “seeks out” in herself already in the first days after the probable conception. Reading articles that there are 33 signs of pregnancy or another number of them, she notes as such discharge , thrush , acne ... But all these manifestations may also indicate the development of the disease, and not pregnancy. For example, discharge during conception of a child may be the same as with thrush. What kind of discharge after conception appears, as well as what are the most accurate signs of pregnancy, the doctor can tell, who should be asked how to identify the exact signs, and how to understand that you are pregnant.

Should women wear seat belts during pregnancy?

Seat belts should be worn during pregnancy. A mother's injury is more devastating to a baby than any potential trap of a pregnant belly in a seatbelt. The seat belt should be low, over the thigh bones and under the pregnant belly. The shoulder strap should be placed on the side of the abdomen, between the breasts and over the midsection of the collarbone. No information indicates that air sacs are unsafe during pregnancy. Pregnant women should try to keep their belly 10 inches away from the airbag.

External changes during the first days of pregnancy

Even before the delay, the first signs of pregnancy after conception appear almost daily by external changes. Despite the fact that only a few women claim that they have certain strange sensations after ovulation, if conception occurs, external changes occur in almost everyone.

Should you restrict travel while pregnant?

Correct use of seat belts during pregnancy. The latest guidelines focus on individual patient risks and the likelihood of acute problems in the travel segment. The second trimester is considered the safest time to travel as the risks of miscarriage and premature birth are the lowest. Prolonged sitting during pregnancy is more restrictive because the uterus contributes to the risk of thrombosis and this can lead to venous congestion of the lower limb.

Talking about what sensations they experienced when conceiving a child and after that, many women note that they developed thrush , and after thrush - cystitis ... As a result, the question arose whether there could be a number of symptoms similar to those of pregnancy due to thrush.

And if, before the delay in menstruation, the woman herself can rather feel certain internal sensations after conception, then those around them note external changes.

Back pain

Gravel women should encourage circulation by moving or frequently bending and extending the lower limbs at the ankles. Air travel can further increase the risk of traveling during pregnancy due to factors that contribute to dehydration, such as low oxygen tension, low humidity, and recirculated air.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends a maximum public exposure of 1 mSv per year for the general public; The same limit is recommended for the concept, but over 40 weeks of gestation. Air travel provides passengers with less than 15% of this limit, even on the longest international flight. Accidental travelers are unlikely to exceed these limits, but frequent flyers should be informed about the dangers of radiation and health risks.

Even before nausea appears after conception, the following external signs of pregnancy may be noted:

Laboratory and physiological changes in the first days of pregnancy

Trying to determine what signs of pregnancy in the early days indicate conception, a woman pays attention to the physiological state. How to determine pregnancy, while the test does not yet show it, "prompt" some physiological manifestations, as well as laboratory parameters. Trying to understand everything about pregnancy from the first days of conception, expectant mothers, preoccupied with certain manifestations, turn to doctors.

Almost in the very first days of pregnancy, the following signs may indicate:

Even if there is a delay of 1 day, a woman may already suspect that she is pregnant, focusing on other signs. For example, she has white discharge, unusual sensations. But with a delay of one day, the test may not show conception.

If there is a delay of 2 days, and white discharge appears, as well as other signs, conception can be suspected. But two days of delay is a period when it is too early to see a doctor to confirm pregnancy.

Women who have a 3-day delay in their periods often do the test. But even if after three days of delay the test is positive, this is not a guarantee of pregnancy, since the test may turn out to be false positive.

What happens after 4 days of delay depends not only on objective factors, but also on the woman's degree of emotionality. More emotional individuals believe that a 4-day delay in menstruation accurately indicates pregnancy, and they reveal a number of signs of conception.

Since the signs are brighter during the first pregnancy, after 5 days of delay, a woman can already be almost sure that she will have a child, since she determines in herself obvious symptoms of conception, regardless of what happens on day 5. If the delay is already 5 days, and white discharge continues to bother, ladies often turn to doctors to determine conception. But even on the 6th day, the doctor cannot say with certainty that the patient is pregnant, regardless of what happens on the 6th day, and what signs she has.

If your period is 7 days late, then it makes sense to do a test or see a doctor. A delay of 1 week, which is combined with other signs (white discharge, sleep and appetite disturbances, a cold as a sign of pregnancy, etc.) is already a reason to suspect that conception has occurred. But during this period it is still impossible to determine exactly what stage of pregnancy takes place. On the seventh day after conception, information can only be obtained by determining hCG.

Since on the 8th day, white discharge and other signs can be pronounced, at this time many women are already conducting a test. And about 12 days after conception, there may be slight bleeding, as the embryo attaches in the uterus. How to determine if this is really the so-called implantation bleeding , the doctor will tell you.

You should not postpone the visit to the doctor too long if you suspect that you are pregnant, or the test has already shown two strips. If there is a 2-week delay in menstruation, you can visit a doctor to confirm the pregnancy, and also, within a two-week delay, find out approximately how long after conception, how the pregnancy proceeds.

In the event that there is a delay of 3 weeks, it is important to obtain confirmation that uterine pregnancy ... Indeed, with the same signs are noted as with its normal course. But this condition is very dangerous for a woman's health.

During this period, the doctor can already roughly determine how long after conception takes place. However, three weeks of delay is not yet the time when you can get a lot of accurate information about the development of the fetus.

Often women ask a gynecologist about how to feel that conception has occurred. But in fact, an early visit to a gynecologist is important from the point of view of excluding diseases of the genital area, as well as determining the general health of the expectant mother. After all, all diseases of the mother can subsequently negatively affect the health of the unborn child.

Thus, it is best to visit your doctor in the first month of pregnancy after your period has stopped and the first symptoms after conception appear. After all, 1 month is in many ways the most dangerous period, while the woman is not yet completely sure which pregnancy symptoms in the first days of the delay should be considered accurate.

Having visited the gynecologist in the first weeks of pregnancy, you need to tell him in detail about what symptoms of pregnancy were noted in the first weeks, what sensations bothered you in the first weeks. It is important to report exactly when your last period was. Also, the doctor can examine the chest, inquire about what sensations you are currently experiencing, whether you are concerned about certain symptoms (cold, unusual discharge, chills at the beginning of the delay, etc.).

In the first two weeks, the doctor will not only conduct an examination, but will ask you in detail about what sensations you experienced at 1 and 2 weeks.

You should go to the first appointment with a gynecologist before the time when the first signs may appear toxicosis ... That is, it is best to plan the first visit to the doctor for 2 months, when the discomfort is not yet so strong. The fifth week is an appropriate period for such a visit. The doctor may ask a number of questions about how a woman feels. It should be borne in mind that at week 5, the basal temperature remains steadily elevated, and if a woman measures it, you can tell the doctor about it.

Less often, women postpone a visit to a gynecologist for 3 months, when the exact symptoms are already pronounced, there come times when the tummy gradually increases. Nevertheless, it is impossible categorically to postpone the visit to the doctor for 3, and even more so for 4 months.

The gynecologist always conducts an examination. It is important for him to assess the condition of the uterus, because the uterus before menstruation is firm to the touch and dry. The position of the cervix before menstruation is always low. The indicators of how much the uterus increases before menstruation and how much it becomes larger during pregnancy are significantly different. That is why, according to the state of the uterus, a specialist can judge the onset of pregnancy.

The doctor assesses how the uterus looks, and, depending on how many days after the delay, the woman came to the appointment, he can determine conception or ask the patient to come later, if signs of pregnancy and enlargement are not yet noticeable. How many days it is necessary to visit the doctor again, he must inform.

It is important to know for sure that the pregnancy is progressing normally. After a woman is registered, she visits a gynecologist every month.

First week of pregnancy: signs and sensations

Since 1 week is, in fact, not a pregnancy, at this time a woman, as a rule, does not yet determine those syndromes and symptoms that are evidence of a successful conception. On rare occasions, some expectant mothers say that already on the first day of conception, long before the test was carried out, they felt certain strange sensations. But nevertheless, the sensations during fertilization, in the first days after it, when a woman determines something unusual in the body, is rather. an exception. Also, in rare cases, the corresponding symptoms appear on day 2 or day 3. That is why it is difficult for a woman in the first days (on the 4th day, on the 5th day) to understand what is happening.

Many women are unaware of the earliest signs of pregnancy in the first week. But already during this period, the first symptoms of pregnancy begin in the first week: the stomach pulls, discharge appears, etc.

Whether there are certain symptoms at 1 week after conception, and when more pronounced symptoms occur, depends on the woman's body. If the delay is 6 days, it is still difficult for the doctor to determine how long. Thus, the first week against the background of a developing pregnancy, signs appear rarely, and a woman, as a rule, does not know about her condition.

Symptoms in the second week after conception and later

2nd week of pregnancy is a period when new sensations can be manifested more clearly. Often for a period of 10 days or 12 days, that is, at 2 weeks, women already carry out the test, relying on the fact that they have new sensations. The second week of delay is the period that may already be accompanied by nausea, appetite disorders, drowsiness. However, only the doctor, and not the expectant mother, can determine how long a 12-day delay is based on her feelings.

At 2 and 3 weeks after conception, many pregnant women lose weight, as they exhibit a certain pickiness in food and other unpleasant sensations. The second and third weeks are the period when pregnancy after conception is also manifested by changes in the mammary glands - the beginning of pregnancy is marked by the fact that the breast becomes very sensitive. Later, when the fourth week comes, the breasts will become heavier, also 4 weeks is the period when you can feel the first signs toxicosis .

What other signs are, and on what day they appear, you can find out from the relevant literature. And about how the fetus develops, it is worth watching a video that will help a woman understand how all the processes occur after conception.

It should be noted that the early signs of a second pregnancy may be atypical and appear differently from the first time. In the early stages, their absence is possible - everything happens without signs of pregnancy. It should be noted that the so-called hidden pregnancy is asymptomatic, so a woman may not suspect that she is expecting a baby for a long time.

Signs of pregnancy after delay

If there is a delay in menstruation, the woman is actively interested in what the first signs of pregnancy in the early stages may occur, and in what week these signs appear. During this period, expectant mothers often turn to any thematic forum, where the first weeks are discussed - there are signs or no signs, what are the earliest symptoms that develop, etc., how a number of signs appear in multiple pregnancies, etc.

Most often, women note that already in the first days they either have an increased appetite or no appetite at all. Other signs are also noted - a low temperature and chills, strange sensations in the abdomen and itching of the navel, a constant change of mood. Some women describe only the main symptoms, some find 25 signs each.

But even if a woman notes a number of signs that may indicate conception - lack of appetite, mild colds, tearfulness, chills without fever, etc., there is no need to run to the doctor on the second day after the delay.

But later, during a visit to the doctor, it is important to tell him about the symptoms. After all, the first weeks of pregnancy, and the first, and second, and subsequent, are a period when the risk of termination is very high. It is important to inform the doctor that there are tingling sensations in the uterus, pain as before menstruation, other discomfort in the uterus, tingling in the ovaries, etc.

In addition, the doctor can be asked questions that are important for a woman: can there be a temperature in the period after conception, can there be periods during early pregnancy, the signs of which are already taking place, how many days after conception begins to vomit, etc.

However, there are initial symptoms after a missed period, which can be considered accurate indications of a conception that has occurred. The most accurate signs are as follows:

• Positive test, which was done at least three times, and, between the earliest test and the last one, several days should go. After how many days pregnancy appears on the test, depends on its type. But it is better to do it at least a week after the delay begins.
• Gynecological examination on a chair... Doctors clearly know how long it takes for the exact signs of pregnancy to appear. When the gestation period is 6 weeks, the cervix becomes soft, its shade is cyanotic, since blood flow is activated in it, and during this period a woman may complain that she has a stabbing in the uterus. There is also a softening of the isthmus between the uterus and the body, an increase in the size of the uterus.
• Increased levels of hCG in urine and blood... Even if there are no external signs, this indicator not only indicates conception, but is also perceived by a specialist as an indicator of the course of pregnancy. In the first month, hCG doubles every two days, later - every 4 days.
• Results of ultrasound of the uterus... After conducting an ultrasound examination, an implanted ovum can be detected at a period of 5 weeks.

Women who have had a delay and who are actively interested in what day the symptoms appear, what are the signs and when the more pronounced manifestations begin, should be aware that there is a high probability of spontaneous ... Therefore, it is important to "listen" to the body and be careful.

Signs of conceiving a boy and a girl

Most future parents would very much like to know from the very first days whether the birth of a girl or a boy awaits them. That is why expectant mothers are looking for a variety of signs that could indicate the birth of a baby of a certain gender. For example, the difference between the abdomen during pregnancy with a boy or a girl is discussed, the condition of the skin - whether acne appears or not, etc.

But after the test showed two stripes, all the signs that indicate the conception of a boy or girl cannot be considered accurate, and parents should remember this. But still, many mothers talk about the fact that they had certain symptoms, indicating the birth of a baby of a certain gender, and ask their friends: “Is there a certain sign“ in girls ”, are there“ in boys ”? Menstruation stops, and gradually certain signs appear that indicate the birth of a boy or girl.

Signs of conception by a boy

You can notice the proven signs of pregnancy in a boy already in the first weeks after conception. If a woman is pregnant with a boy, these features can be determined by listening carefully and looking closely at her body. But what symptoms "on a boy" a woman would not find in herself, one must remember that they do not guarantee one hundred percent the birth of a male baby. What are the signs of mothers carrying boys?

External signs	The appearance improves - the skin becomes dull and clear, the condition of nails and hair improves.
Feet temperature	Feet may be cold, and there is a feeling of heat inside the legs and arms. A pregnant woman may be worried about why she throws herself into a fever, but there is no temperature.
Appetite	We are waiting for the boy - we eat a lot: from the first days the appetite increases. At the same time, the woman prefers all possible meat dishes. The "boys" also have other taste preferences.
Nausea	Pregnancy goes without nausea or only mild nausea is noted.
Features of mood	No mood swings are noted, activity and efficiency increase, there is no feeling of depression, weakness.
Stomach	Its lower part is rounded in the form of a bulge, after what time such signs appear depends on individual characteristics, but, as a rule, this feature is noticeable in later periods.

Signs of conception by a girl

Proven features of pregnancy "for a girl" are described in almost every thematic forum. But what signs of pregnancy for a girl are accurate is also controversial. Some women note what signs during pregnancy are manifested by a girl already in the first weeks. But sometimes the signs during pregnancy and, a boy, and a girl are almost the same. Therefore, it must be borne in mind that it is not always what kind of belly a pregnant girl has is information that will help determine who will be born.

What are the symptoms if the expectant mother is pregnant with a girl?

Appearance	Already in the third week after conception, the appearance changes for the worse. Lips may swell, skin swells, face turns pale.
Feet temperature	May feel chills in the legs, but the temperature of the skin of the legs and arms will be elevated.
Appetite	Appetite decreases or is absent from the first weeks. There is a desire to eat sweets, citrus fruits.
Nausea	The day on which he starts to feel sick can also be a sign of the sex of the fetus. If this is a girl, nausea appears several weeks after conception, and most of all the nausea is in the morning.
Features of mood	The characters are mood swings. Strange thoughts disturb, the woman commits chaotic acts.
Stomach	It does not increase for a long time, sometimes it even sinks, which is associated with manifestations of nausea and lack of appetite.

Signs of multiple pregnancy

Sometimes, during ovulation and conception, several fruits begin to develop in the body at once. There are some characteristic symptoms of conception when two or more fetuses develop. It is hardly possible to feel any signs of this phenomenon immediately after conception, but after a few weeks, if conception has occurred, such symptoms appear.

If the symptoms of pregnancy after conception indicate multiple pregnancies, the woman should tell her doctor about this at her first visit. The following signs are likely:

Appearance	It is getting worse, since a very serious hormonal change occurs in the body, and nausea is also constantly worried. Acne appears on the face.
Frequent urination	Describing what signs of multiple pregnancy may be, frequent urination should be noted, since the uterus is enlarged already in the third week.
Appetite	As a rule, you want to eat in this state all the time, although nausea worries. Weight gains quickly.
Nausea	It is important to note how many days after conception begins to vomit. With multiple pregnancies, nausea is strong and very painful almost from the first week, this condition worries throughout the whole day.
Features of mood	Due to constant drowsiness and weakness, the mood is often depressed, working capacity deteriorates.
Stomach	Since the uterus grows rapidly, the abdomen is already rounded in the first months, the rounding is noted even.

Is conception possible before menstruation?

Is it possible to conceive a child a day before menstruation - the answer to this question depends on the individual physiological characteristics of the female body. After all, the menstrual cycle is often not regular, not only in girls. Those women who have irregular menstrual periods cannot predict when ovulation occurs. Therefore, it is difficult for them to predict the date of the approaching period. Consequently, conception can occur at almost any time. And if a woman is expecting menstruation, but they are not, this may indicate that conception occurred, despite the fact that she did not have sexual intercourse on the days of the alleged ovulation. The days of ovulation sometimes shift and when hormonal imbalance .

If there is a suspicion that conception has occurred, how to find out that she is pregnant, external signs can "prompt". In this situation, it is important, first of all, to listen to your body.

Sometimes, after a delay of 5 days, the expectant mother is a little nauseous, white discharge appears, as an exacerbation of thrush occurs or yellow discharge appears before menstruation. The fact that a child was conceived is also evidenced by an increased basal temperature of 37 in a week or in 5 days, in 6 days. In addition, you should pay attention to the following signs:

• an increase in the abdomen, heaviness in the abdomen;
• strong appetite, but nauseous;
• intermittent high temperature (there may be a temperature, but sometimes it gets hot, but there is no temperature);
• breast changes (high sensitivity, darkened nipples);
• discharge (if you are pregnant, thrush often worsens or begins), etc.

However, almost all of these signs are not manifested in everyone. And if a woman is interested in when to do the test, in doubt, will show the test a week before menstruation or 2 days before pregnancy, it is better for her to wait a little with such a check.

When advising how to determine pregnancy, experts say that the test should be performed at least 3 times. For example, 4 days after the delay, 7 days or 8 days, and 3 more days after the second positive test. If two stripes appeared three times, it can be assumed that conception took place.

If a woman assumes that she will soon become a mother, she has a lot of questions about why she gets hot during menstruation, whether there can be nausea in the early days, why the body swells, how many days the weight increases and much more. All of them can be asked to a specialist.

Is menstruation possible after conception?

Many women also ask about whether menstruation is possible after fertilization, for example, whether menstruation is possible a week after conception.

As a rule, conception occurs after menstruation on the 12-15th day, during the period of ovulation. Those who are interested in whether menstruation can go on after conception should take into account that the onset of pregnancy can lead to the so-called ovulatory bleeding when a vessel is damaged during ovulation. When the embryo is fixed in the uterus, the so-called implantation bleeding ... During this period, a woman is already interested in whether nausea can be a sign of pregnancy, whether thrush passes - that is, she gradually feels the signs of conception.

However, sometimes menstruation-like sensations and blooming discharge indicate a threat. It is especially dangerous if the bleeding is profuse, chills and other unpleasant sensations disturb. Premature periods during pregnancy may indicate miscarriage.

Pregnancy with menstruation is also possible with injuries, hormonal disruption. Sometimes scanty periods are noted - 2 days. Whether there can be pregnancy in this case can only be determined by analysis. If menstruation occurs after a delay and in subsequent months, it means that the so-called color pregnancy ... By noticing certain signs, a woman may think she has a cold or other illness.

Ectopic pregnancy and menstruation at the same time is also a possible phenomenon. In any case, if a woman suspects pregnancy during her period, she will be helped not by a thematic forum, but by consulting a specialist.

Sometimes bloody discharge during pregnancy is accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms: a woman is shivering, the temperature rises, and there is low blood pressure even if low blood pressure is uncharacteristic for her. In such a situation, it is important not to hesitate with a visit to the doctor, who needs to be informed what signs during menstruation were observed in pregnant women.

However, some of the manifestations may be signs of a normal pregnancy. For example, sometimes it gets hot at night, and a woman is also interested in why she shivers, why her face swells, etc.

findings

Thus, there are many signs - external, physiological, laboratory, with the help of which one can initially suspect and later confirm fertilization. How and when such symptoms appear, how many days they appear after conception, depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.

You should wait a little with the test: on the 7th day immediately after conception, even a hypersensitive test will not determine anything.

When the first signs appear, you should "listen" to the body and know what symptoms may indicate conception. When these symptoms begin to appear, you do not need to immediately run to the doctor. It should be clearly understood whether there is a delay, that is, wait out "through menstruation."

If you suspect that conception has occurred, many questions arise. So, some women are interested in why they chill before menstruation, are not fever in the abdomen, back pain, colic in the uterus signs that fertilization has occurred. Some ladies are also interested in how to feel that conception has occurred.

But even if there are no menstruation for 37 days, before talking about pregnancy, you need to accurately confirm fertilization. And if so far the lady is not sure of conception, and questions arise, whether there may be a delay in menstruation with a cold or a fever due to a cold, and the test showed fuzzy stripes after the first time, it is important to be conscious of your own health. For now, there shouldn't be questions about whether you can drink beer or other types of alcohol.

How else to call the state of bearing a baby? This is the period when a woman is responsible not only for her health and life. The health of the unborn baby needs to be taken care of even before conception, and in the first weeks of his intrauterine life, this should be done especially carefully.

Many women, especially with repeated pregnancies, manage to find out about their upcoming motherhood long before it was confirmed by tests and medical tests. How are they able to determine this? They just listen to their feelings and intuitively recognize the first signs of pregnancy after ovulation, because the female body immediately after implantation of the embryo begins to prepare for bearing a child.

A bit of physiology

Unfortunately, if fertilization has occurred, then it is impossible to reliably determine this, because all the processes of fusion of the male and female chromosomal cells occur, even though inside the female body, but completely autonomously. It is worth considering how the process of development of the embryo proceeds, if the fertilization of the egg has occurred, by days until the moment of implantation.

On the first day, the male and female sets of chromosomes merge, the sex and other characteristics of the child are laid, and active cell division (blastomeres) begins. At this point, the expectant mother can only feel the usual symptoms of ovulation. It is impossible to determine whether fertilization has occurred based on sensations alone.

By the third day, there are already 6-8 cells in the embryo, sometimes 10, and its genetic code is fully formed. It is on this day that the development of the twins is laid. At this moment, the production of estrogens increases in a woman's body, a slight unreasonable increase in body temperature and other symptoms of a mild cold may occur, which can be caused both by an increased production of the hormone estrogen, and a slight decrease in immunity against the background of preparation for pregnancy.

On the fourth day, the fetus already has from 10 to 16 cells and from the fallopian tube enters the uterine cavity.

From the fifth to the seventh day, the embryo moves freely inside the uterus, choosing the place of implantation. It is on these days that a woman may find several bloody spots on her panties, which will be mistaken for an early onset of menstruation. In fact, the following happens: the fertilized egg, after a successful implantation attempt, is introduced into the uterine wall, and the damaged area bleeds a little. It is impossible to determine with a 100% guarantee by the occurrence of scant bloody discharge that implantation has occurred, but if we take into account additional sensations, then we can assume that pregnancy has occurred.

After the seventh day, if implantation has occurred and the laying of the chorion (the embryo of the placenta) has begun, on the 8th day after conception, the active production of the hormone hCG begins (the pregnancy hormone that contributes to the normal bearing of the fetus). Its presence can be determined 12 days after conception using pregnancy tests. In addition, if your period is delayed by 10 days after the expected date of ovulation, you can donate blood for hCG.

The pregnancy hormone is concentrated in the blood much earlier than in the urine, and on day 10, its level is sufficient to determine pregnancy.

It is necessary to carry out such an early analysis if there are unpleasant sensations similar to signs of toxicosis.

But with a period of 10 days, the analysis for the presence of hCG can be both false-positive and false-negative - its reliability is influenced by many factors occurring in the woman's body (rejection of the ovum for up to 10 days or, conversely, weak production of the hormone upon onset).

Indirect signs

It is very difficult to determine at an early stage whether fertilization has occurred or not, but if the following signs of pregnancy are present after ovulation, conception can be assumed.

Basal temperature for over 10 days is kept within 37 ° C. Temperature is measured by inserting a conventional medical thermometer into the rectum for 10 minutes. Thermometry should be carried out in the morning at the same time and before measuring it should be carried out lying at rest for at least 5-7 hours. If the basal temperature is stable at subfebrile numbers, then this is a sign of either fertilization or intestinal disease.

Thermometry cannot reliably show that conception has occurred, but in combination with other signs will help to suggest the onset of an interesting situation.

Developing unusual addictions or unusual physical sensations. What can be the sensations? You may have an aversion to familiar food, or, conversely, you want something unusual, for example, ice cream with pickles.

In some very sensitive women, such unusual symptoms may occur as early as 3 days of conception after ovulation, when the embryo has not yet attached to the uterine wall. Of course, they cannot reliably determine the onset of pregnancy, but it is possible to assume conception if they are present.

Vaginal discharge, which does not have to be bloody, and will help determine if a fetal implantation is taking place. Often, against the background of preparing the body for motherhood, the discharge is transparent or slightly yellowish, odorless. Abundant painless discharge of a short-term nature, although it will not help to find out exactly about the interesting situation that has come, but in combination with other signs will suggest that fertilization has occurred.

As a rule, these are small periodic tingling sensations that disappear after 10 days from the date of the expected fertilization. If such sensations last longer or are accompanied by severe pain syndrome, then they indicate either the threat of early miscarriage, or diseases of the pelvic organs.

Changes in the condition of the breast. Very often, even before the fetus is attached to the uterine wall, under the influence of an increase in hormonal levels, breast swelling and hypersensitivity of the nipple zone may occur.

If the embryo is implanted, then by 12-14 days the areola swells and darkens.

The easiest way to determine the onset of conception in the early stages is to use a pregnancy test with an increased sensitivity to the hCG hormone. Even if the testing turns out to be negative, and the alleged symptoms will indicate the onset of an interesting situation, then it is worth visiting the antenatal clinic to clarify the diagnosis.

Knowing what sensations arise at the time of fertilization of the egg, you can promptly consult a doctor for differential diagnostics and advice on adjusting your lifestyle. But even if the desired conception was not confirmed, and all the symptoms turned out to be signs of gynecological or intestinal diseases, then you should not be upset.

Most women become pregnant very quickly after changing their lifestyle and treating gynecological diseases.
