Магия беременности, неделя за неделей. А какая неделя у вас?

Week 3

Wait for it or not, the moment has arrived: you"ve conceived. Although you may not know it. The Miracle of life has begun. And we say miracle because the transformation from a cell until a baby is really a miracle of nature, very studied but I still can"t reproduce. It"s really complex and fantastic at the same time.

This week the fertilized egg (called a zygote) shall be divided into a number of occasions to become embryo. When it starts to divide will be called blastocyst (don"t worry about the names since we will refer from now on to him or her as your baby). And the time she starts to divide descends from the trunk of the uterus, fallopia where adheres to his wall and it will be a season of more or less than nine months.

Week 4

This week the baby is the size of a poppy seed. The Ball of cells that is developing (embryo) has finished his trip from the fallopian tube and has stayed in the womb.

You can make you the proof of pregnancy. And when you confirm that you"re pregnant... Congratulations! You will invade a swarm of emotions that go through happiness, fear, joy, fear, terror... all this is normal, and will not abandon you for a while. And even if it is the first pregnancy.

When you tell the rest of the world that you"re pregnant? So basically when you and your partner decide. No matter what anyone tells you: say it you. Many couples prefer to wait a while to say it just in case the pregnancy goes wrong, but many say it right away. You can also communicate only to your closest family environment, although it"s more than possible that future grandparents " talk more about the account " and don"t know how to save this " little " Secret (we would say that it is impossible for a grandfather or grandmother to maintain this kind of Secrets, although we haven"t found any study on this).

The Pituitary Gland (inner part of the brain) is starting to produce sex hormones which will let you in the future to have their own children (maybe in a couple of decades or before you become a grandmother).

Week 13

What"s going on in there? Develops something? Yes, and also enough speed. This week we are starting to form small bones in my arms and legs, the intestines are starting to move, the vocal cords are starting to develop...

And as you can move a little, albeit very awkwardly and shortness of form, the arms and legs, he is able to get a thumb in his mouth. Awesome.

This week your baby is the size of your fist. Another novelty is the formation of your palate as well as the start of his intestinal activity: is already producing the meconium.

The meconium is the waste that will be his first bowel movement after birth. Actually expel him soon after childbirth or in the delivery itself.

Also is forming the lanugo (body hair) that keeps him warm and happy. Don"t worry about giving birth to a monkey, because in the next few weeks a layer of fat under the skin will assume this role and some will disappear. And if so, when is he"s a bit of one nor worry: will fall bit by bit.

One way of dealing with the devastation that we produce the hormones of pregnancy is focusing on everything that"s going on with the baby with its constant and surprising development.

And the cheese? We have spoken of the mango (your baby) but we"re missing "the cheese"... the cheese is the substance called vernix caseous lymphadenitis, which is a white fat that covers the skin of your baby. The function of this layer of fat is to protect the baby from the amniotic fluid (without her his skin is wrinkled like ours when we put her a good time in the water... and he thinks it"S 9 months).

Passing trains the taste buds and practice all the necessary synchronization for in a future eat outside the womb.

By the way, some studies suggest that the baby can develop the sense of taste depending on what you eat during pregnancy. Maybe you could save any future tantrum with starting to acclimate to a big healthy and balanced diet with vegetables, fish, vegetables, etc... plus you"ll be good for you too. So you know: less doughnuts and more fish.
