WELCOME TO MY FIRST EPISODE OF "ANTENATAL & POST NATAL CLASS with NF
On this page I will be sharing with you useful information you need to know as a single, married or immediately you discover you are PREGNANT.
Pregnancy comes with different feelings but at the end it all worth it!!! Yes you heard me right
PREGNANCY TERM is divided into three stages:
What I mean is we have THREE TRIMESTER in pregnancy which are:
FIRST TRIMESTER
SECOND TRIMESTER
THIRD TRIMESTER
Each trimester is different because as the baby grows the woman/mother body too changes
First trimester of pregnancy refers to the first THREE MONTHS and the time in which the baby grows the fastest
In this first trimester the baby is called EMBRYO, this EMBRYO stage is mainly 5weeks after CONCEPTION, when s***m fertilizes an EGG.
This EMBRYONIC stage of pregnancy begins and runs from about the 5th and the 10th week of pregnancy.
During the EMBRYONIC stage a number of changes occur in a woman body which are:
1 The cells of the EMBRYO (EMBRYONIC stem cells) multiply rapidly and develop into the hundreds of different types of cells needed to form a human body.
2 The baby's major organs, muscle, bones, nervous system, heart, face , arms and legs and sexual organs begin to form
3 The PLACENTA forms:
Nutrients, oxygen and water are drawn by the placenta from the mother's blood and passed along to the baby through the umbilical cord
4 The PLACENTA removes waste from the baby and filters out harmful substances from the mother's body
5 The AMNIOTIC SAC forms, which surrounds and protects the baby in the UTERUs.
Healthy momma, healthy baby
If you have a friend, family who you think she needs this information it doesn't matter if she's single or married.
See you on the next episode of antenatal class with NF where I will be talking about what happens to mother and child during the second trimester
