What changes occur in the female body at the very beginning of pregnancy and what symptoms are the first signs of news of such a delicate situation. Why is the beginning of pregnancy so important for the further development of the fetus? About this in our article.

After 12 hours after fertilization, the egg begins to divide into two, united by a cell septum, but then such a septum disappears and a morula is formed. So the doctors called the cell, which in the future will become an embryo. The next week, the embryo divides and grows, as well as its movement into the uterus - the final destination. This is what the beginning of pregnancy looks like, which the expectant mother does not even know about.

Somewhere on the 7-8th day, the fetal egg, already in the uterine cavity, begins the process of fixing in it. It is from this moment that a woman can already feel some changes taking place in her body.

After the attachment of the embryo, hormonal changes begin in the female body. The vital activity of the fetus is completely carried out at the expense of the female body, sincethere is a single circle of blood circulation for mother and child. The woman herself already feels and understands such a beginning of pregnancy, this can be confirmed by a test or a gynecologist.

Symptoms of an interesting position

How to find out about the onset of pregnancy before the onset of critical days?

The answer to this question is simple for those who maintain a regular schedule for measuring basal temperature. During the onset of pregnancy, the temperature decreases, usually by one day.

For everyone else - even a supersensitive test will show the onset of pregnancy only from the first day of delay. And with the help of ultrasound, pregnancy can also be determined only in the third week. But 1 month still has some characteristic symptoms of pregnancy. And this:

• increased sensitivity of the breast, in particular, nipples;
• there may be a sudden change, and for no apparent reason, temperature or pressure;

• nausea, vomiting and headache, which can appear as early as the second week of pregnancy;

• heartburn or bloating;
• increased intolerance to various odors;
• aversion to certain foods and a special love for others.

Quite often, symptoms of malaise and increased fatigue will mark the beginning of pregnancy, which appear, as a rule, due to hormonal changes and the body getting used to a new role.

The threat of miscarriage onfirst weeks

The first month is very important for the onset of pregnancy for several reasons:

• may continue taking hormonal contraceptives, which will certainly provoke a spontaneous abortion;
• alcohol or nicotine use also adversely affects the fetus;
• strong drugs can lead to genetic abnormalities of the fetus and cause the development of some intrauterine anomalies.

But at the "beginning of pregnancy" stage, the fetus lives according to the "all or nothing" principle, i.e. if in the first few weeks the fetus managed to survive under the influence of some adverse factors, then, most likely, the normal development of the fetus will continue. If not, i.e. a spontaneous abortion occurs, then, most likely, the woman will not even feel anything, because the size of the fetus is still too small. The only manifestation will be a slightly late period.
