Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Getting pregnant is one of the biggest dreams of most women after their marriage. Most women in the western world usually will be using birth control measures and will try to plan their pregnancy while in some countries like India, women usually might not be using birth control measures before marriage unless they are living in some of the urban cities of India. It is usually common for women in countries like India to hope for a child in the first one or two years itself after marriage irrespective of the economic implication of the pregnancy. But in developed countries the married couple is likely to give more emphasis on achieving financial stability and planning for the baby before they try to concieve (ttc) or go for ntnp ( not trying not preventing ) .

When a woman is actively ttc ( trying to concieve ) , she will usually try to search for fertility awareness methods ( FAM ). the woman trying to get pregnant actively will search for methods to find out when she is ovulating so that she can determine her most fertile period for getting pregnant. This might be based on methods like measuring the basic body temperature (bbt) and charting the temperatures and looking for the hike in temperature which might be the indication of ovulation. Some women might check the nature of their cervical mucus to find when the cervical mucus is like egg whites (ewcm or egg white cervical mucus ) which is also associated with ovulation. All of this is supposed to help the woman trying to get pregnant set up her fertility calendar or ovulation calendar . They will search for the most accurate and most easy to use ovulation calculator. They do this because they want to find out when they are likely to be ovulating and hence more fertile and thus  maximise their chances of getting pregnant.

The first day is usually taken as the first day of the last menstruation and the last day is the day before the next menstruation starts. The simplest ovulation calculators usually ask for the first day of the last menstrual cycle and the average length of past cycles and give an estimate of the likely date of ovulation based on that information.

After that most of the women trying to get pregnant hope that that they have become pregnant and hope that some of the symptoms that they are feeling are symptoms of pregnancy and are early signs of pregnancy. They usually search for the common symptoms of pregnancy like nausea with or without vomiting,, morning sickness , tender breasts, missed periods, feeling weak, bloated abdomen. They will test if they are pregnant using home pregnancy kits ( hpk ) which test urine for presence of hcg hoping to get a BFP ( big fat positive ).

Once they become pregnant, the pregnant woman will try to think about the different changes that are happening and might happen in their body week by week in the pregnancy. They will try to learn about how the foetus will develop week by week in the pregnancy, and learn about the different changes that might happen to their body from one week to the next in their pregnancy. They will wonder about when the first trimester starts and begins ( first to twelfth week ), whether the thirteenth week is part of the second trimester or not. They will wonder about how many weeks there are in a trimester of a pregnancy.

oopsie or accidental pregnancy

oopsie or accidental pregnancy One of the most irritating questions that most pregnant women might have heard (when they announce that they are pregnant) is if their pregnancy was a planned one or if the baby was accidental or if the pregnancy was an oopsie or if the pregnancy was a surprise ? usually this question is faced by pregnant women in their early 20's and also some of the pregnant women above 35 who are pregnant with their third child. Some women carry it a bit further by asking about what they are going to do about the pregnancy (as if the pregnant woman might be considering an abortion) and also might be hinting that they think that the pregnant woman was careless . The people asking such questions are usually looking for gossip or just plain nosy thoughtless immature people who cannot mind their own business and who cannot grasp the idea and serious thought involved in trying to get pregnant and caring for a child . Some close friends might start off the conversation with different versions of "How are you feeling ... ?" , which might be better since it gives the pregnant woman the ability to handle the conversation the way she wants to. One of the worst thing is for a child to have to listen to other people refer to him/her as the result of an oopsie pregnancy or as an accident ( It might make the child think that he / she is unwanted ). Some people might define an accidental pregnancy or an oopsie pregnancy, as a pregnancy which happened in spite of using birth control measures like condoms,IUD's or pills due to the failure of the birth control measures. The failure of the birth control measures might be due to the breakage / leak in the condoms, effect of antibiotics on the chemicals of birth control pills etc., forgetting to take some of the birth control pills causing the messing up of that cycle and possibly the next as well,being overweight / obese, gastric problems, vomiting etc which might affect the absorption of hormones,. Some people also like to refer to such pregnancies as unplanned pregnancies or unintended pregnancy. Some studies show that around 50% of pregnancies might be due to not using birth control measures in the cycle the woman got pregnant while only around 5% of the unplanned pregnancies might be due to failure of the birth control measures. Some of the single mothers will have a hard time coping with unplanned pregnancies. Even happily married women might have to have long discussions with their spouses about unplanned pregnancies, they might have to discuss about the financial aspects, implications on the older siblings if the unplanned pregnancy is a second or third pregnancy etc. Sometimes the parents look for tips on dealing with the problems of the unplanned pregnancy in order to come to terms with the unplanned pregnancy. disclaimer: There is no guarantee about the data/information on this site.
