The course of pregnancy at a glance: Every 40 weeks until birth
1st to 8th week of pregnancy: body and soul in other (life) circumstances
In the first few weeks of pregnancy, the body of the mother-to-be works at peak performance. Also the emotional balance may get mixed up - body and soul get into other (life) circumstances.
With the moment of conception, the hormonal conditions in the body of the mother-to-be change. The entire organism of the pregnant woman adapts to the requirements of the baby's stomach in a very short period of time. This ensures that the inseminated ovum is better able to implant in the uterus and that the placenta develops.
The feminine body of the mother-to-be changes
Likewise, even if the first few weeks of pregnancy are still not sufficiently noticeable externally, much changes in the female body. The blood of the mother-to-be provides all necessary nutrients for the formation of the placenta and the rapidly growing embryo. In order to add those tasks, the metabolism routine of the mother-to-be increases by about 10 to 25 percent, the blood fluid increases by 30 to 40 percent. For some, this has visible consequences. For example, the blood vessels under the skin can become noticeably visible. In addition, the uterus and cervix become more supple, while the adolescent uterus presses lightly on the bladder of the pregnant woman. Blood flow to the vagina increases, making the labia slightly darker. The female breast becomes firmer and very sensitive. Often, the areola also turns a little darker and develops a softer area.
Swimming pool of emotions - sudden shifts in mood during pregnancy
First of all, the developing placenta together with the ovaries produces different hormones: estrogen, as well as the pregnancy hormones HCG and progesterone. Thereafter, from about the fourth month of pregnancy onwards, the treatment of the pregnancy hormones is carried out entirely by the placenta.
Hormones as messenger substances of the human body not only control different processes in the female body, but also have a strong effect on the emotional level of the pregnant woman. In the early years of the baby's stomach, hormone production does not always lead to perfect synchronisation between the placenta and the ovaries: the hormonal ups and downs can cause an alternating bath of emotions in the mother-to-be. Enthusiasm and irritability, high spirits and sadness - the range of emotions can be very broad. As a rule, the hormonal state will become stronger in the second trimester of pregnancy and the mood will become more balanced again.
New life situation - being responsible for a small person's life
Certainly not only the hormones of the mother-to-be can change the emotional world during pregnancy. Becoming a mum means getting a new role and function and being responsible for the life of a small human being for a long time. A large number of questions arise from the clarity of expecting a child. Uncertainty is occasionally mixed with enthusiasm: will pregnancy and childbirth proceed well? Will the offspring be born healthy? How will partners and family take a stand? Will the money be enough? How will it be possible to reconcile young talent, relationship and job?
With not a few couples, the upcoming offspring spontaneously announces itself. As a result, current lifestyles and future plans often need to be rethought and discussed. This requires perseverance and willingness to compromise, because the parents-to-be deal with the new incident in different ways from time to time and deal with upcoming decisions differently.
What the body of the mother-to-be needs now in vitamins
The baby stomach period increases the human body's need for vitamins, iron, iodine, magnesium, calcium and primarily folic acid. Vitamin B9 is elementary for all cell division and growth processes. Folic acid deficiency can also lead to anaemia, digestive problems and changes in the mucous membrane. In the unborn child, it can impair the development of the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord (neural tube defect).
Already in the early pregnancy a high-foliac acid diet (fruit, greens and wholemeal articles) is recommended. In consultation with the doctor, it is advisable to continue taking 0.2 to 0.4 milligrams of folic acid every day up to the twelfth week of pregnancy (folic acid prophylaxis). Societies of experts advise that folic acid tablets should be taken before fertilisation, at the latest after pregnancy.
