One of the special concerns of mothers-to-be in the preparation stage is what are the signs of early pregnancy and how to determine that they are indeed pregnant. One of the most common scenarios in Chinese movies and TV shows is that the pretty heroine turns around and retches twice, and then the crowd says, “I’m pregnant”! In reality, so easy to determine the pregnancy or not of the mother-to-be is still a minority. But there are indeed people in, I was on duty in the middle of the night also met so a: pregnant full-term or so like, hurriedly sent to the hospital by the family, contractions when the pain of the whistle, but any birth control has not been done. I asked her: “You’ve never had a maternity checkup? How did you know you were pregnant? Answer: I felt it. Let’s get back to the topic, here are some serious facts about pregnancy and how to diagnose it. Pregnancy Manifestation 1: Menopause The blastocyst formed by the fertilized egg will bed down on the uterine lining 6 to 7 days after fertilization and take root and thrive from then on, so the lining of the uterus won’t undergo any more cyclic shedding, which will result in menopause. Women of childbearing age with regular menstrual cycles and a history of sexual activity should suspect pregnancy if their period is delayed for more than 10 days. If menopause is more than 8 weeks, pregnancy is more likely. Note: Stopping menstruation does not mean pregnancy. Endocrine disorders and taking birth control pills can also cause stoppage of menstruation. Pregnancy manifestation 2: Early pregnancy reaction About half of the pregnant mothers will start to feel dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, abnormal appetite, and often nausea and vomiting at 6 weeks after menopause. The early pregnancy reaction is caused by something called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) produced in the pregnant mother’s body. As HCG levels rise, the symptoms of an early pregnancy reaction may gradually worsen, but after 12 weeks HCG levels will drop to a stable level, at which time most of the early pregnancy reaction will gradually disappear. Pregnancy manifestation three: frequent urination When the uterus increases in size during pregnancy, it presses the bladder in front of the uterus, and some pregnant mothers may feel that urination becomes frequent. With the increase of pregnancy weeks, the uterus is getting bigger and bigger, from the pelvic cavity into the abdominal cavity, and no longer presses the bladder, the feeling of frequent urination will disappear. Pregnancy manifestation four: breast swelling The body’s estrogen, progesterone, placenta lactotrophin and other hormones are elevated during pregnancy. The effect is to promote the development of the mammary gland ducts and alveoli, in preparation for the future breastfeeding of pregnant mothers. Therefore, some mothers-to-be will feel their breasts swell around the eighth week of pregnancy, and their bust size will gradually increase. Pregnancy Diagnostic Method 1: Basal Body Temperature The basal body temperature is taken at the same time every day after waking up from sleep (after 6 to 8 hours of rest) by placing a thermometer under the tongue for about 5 minutes while lying in bed without doing any activities or talking. The basal body temperature of a menstrual cycle is usually low at the beginning and high at the end. If the basal body temperature is elevated and then remains high for more than 18 days, it is likely that you are pregnant. Evaluation: Time-consuming and laborious, accuracy can be disturbed by external factors. Pregnancy Diagnosis Method 2: Early Pregnancy Test 1, specimen: urine; 2, time: after 14 days of sex, menstruation delayed for more than 3 days; 3, principle: detection of HCG in the urine; 4, results: the control area and the detection area are positive for the appearance of a color band = pregnant. Evaluation: quick and relatively accurate. However, false negatives or false positives may occur depending on the time and method of the test, so it is necessary to read the instructions carefully. Pregnancy Diagnostic Method 3: Human Blood β-hCG Test β-hCG can be measured in the blood of pregnant mothers around 7 days after fertilization and can be used to identify pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and trophoblastic tumors. Evaluation: High accuracy and low false positive rate. However, not all pregnant women need the test. Pregnancy Diagnostic Method 4: Ultrasound of the Uterus 1. Determine whether there is an intrauterine pregnancy; 2. It can also help to calculate the gestational week in women with irregular menstruation; 3. Rule out ectopic pregnancies and trophoblastic disorders; 4. Rule out pelvic masses and uterine anomalies; 5. Rule out severe fetal malformations (9-14 weeks).
