From the onset of menstruation in all girls, when a mature egg cell is released from the ovary, the lining of the uterus begins to undergo changes in preparation to receive the fertilized egg. This is carried out by two hormones, estrogen and progesterone, produced in the ovary. These two hormones prepare the uterine’s wall by increasing the blood vessels and glandular system of the wall so that it becomes a thick soft cushion capable of housing the fertilized ovum and secreting nourishment. If no fertilization takes place, all this preparation is eliminated from the body in the form of menstrual flow.
As soon as you feel that a baby might be on the way, you should consult a doctor. Follow the doctor’s advice faithfully on the routine and specific tests that she prescribes and the precautions you may have to take. Get her to explain to you the natural course of pregnancy and place complete trust in her prescriptions. Don’t take medicines recommended by friends and neighbors to overcome discomfort, particularly during the first three months. Medicines must be taken only under medical supervision as they can be very harmful to the baby growing inside you. The nine months pregnancy is divided into three periods of three months, each known as trimesters. Each trimester demands its own specific medical care, immunization routine, scans, and so on.
