So your menstrual period has just finished now and the hormones estrogen and progesterone causes the uterine you make a layer on the endometrium (lining of the uterus to you) to get ready to receive the baby.

Early pregnancy is usually shown from the beginning of your last menstrual cycle. This means, for purposes of calculating your doctor, you get pregnant 2 weeks before you actually get pregnant!

Most women do not know the exact date of conception, but is usually aware of the beginning of their last menstrual period. From this date the pregnancy is determined. Quoting an important date in the pregnancy because it helps your doctor determine when conducting the tests or certain procedures. Also help estimate the baby’s growth and can indicate whether you are overdue. For most women, fertility (ovulation) about the middle of their monthly cycle, or about 2 weeks before the beginning of the next menstrual period.

Pregnancy lasted about 280 days, or 40 weeks, from early last menstrual period. You can count on you to calculate the limit of 280 days from the first day of your last menstrual period. Or counting backward 3 months from the date of your last cycle plus 7 days. It also can estimate the date of delivery. For example, if your last cycle started on February 20, limit your date of November 27.

Calculating the pregnancy in this way gives gestation (menstrual period). Most doctors and nurses using this method. different ovulation (the time of conception), which is 2 weeks shorter and determine the date of actual date of conception.

Many people measure time during the week of pregnancy. This method is really the easiest way.

For example, if your doctor says you are 10 weeks pregnant (from your last cycle), fertilization occurs 8 weeks ago.

You may hear reference to the stage of your pregnancy by trimester. Trimester of pregnancy divides into three periods, each period of 13 weeks duration. This helps to classify the stage of development. For example,

Your baby’s body structure is formed and the majority of organ systems berekmbang during the first trimester. Most miscarriages occur during the first trimester. During the third trimester, most of the problems is the occurrence of maternal hypertension or pre-eclamptic pregnancy. You probably heard about the lunar month, referring to the full moon cycle, ie 28 days. Because of pregnancy during the 280 days of your menstrual period until the beginning of your date limit, the pregnancy ended 10th lunar month.
