Do you know that the first day of your pregnancy is considered the first day of your last menstrual period? Yes, the first week of your pregnancy already runs, and you are not yet pregnant??? Sounds puzzling right? Let's try to explain.
Your doctor calculates the date on which you should give birth, based on the first day of your last menstrual period. This date is used because most women do not know when their last ovulation was.
There is another logic explanation about the use of exact date: Whenever you have menstruation, your body prepares for pregnancy, i.e. every menstruation for the body means preparation for a potential pregnancy. Between 10 and 100 eggs begin to mature and usually only one of them becomes mature enough to be fertilized when you are in ovulation. If you fertilize, this egg will bring your baby.
If you are trying to fertilize, follow your basal temperature. Meal every morning and write down each change. During ovulation, the temperature increases by 0.2 to 0.4 degrees Celsius. Then your body is ready for fertilization.
Your baby is not "made" yet, and now it's time for you to provide healthy development conditions:
- Keep yourself from consuming alcohol, cigarettes, and other narcotics. Instead of this use products to cleanse and prepare woman’s body for pregnancy
- If you are taking medication, consult a doctor to tell you if you continue to drink during pregnancy.
- Continue to exercise moderately. If you have not practiced so far - start. So your body will get more energy and you can maintain your body weight in pregnancy.
- Start to consume vitamins that are good for pregnant women: more iron, folic acid and calcium.
- Eat a variety of foods. Consume more vegetables and fruits.
