Fertilisation occurs and a ball of quickly multiplying cells embeds itself in the lining of the uterusIn the UK pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the woman's last period so for as much as three weeks of this first month she might not be actually pregnant. When fertilisation does occur the tiny mass of cells called a blastocyst at this stage embeds itself in the lining of the womb which is already thickening to support it.Fertilisation occurs and a ball of quickly multiplying cells embeds itself in the lining of the uterus.

Week 6
The embryo officially becomes a foetus. It is about the size of a baked bean and its spine and nervous system begin to form.
The foetus already has its own blood system and may be a different blood group from its mother. Blood vessels are forming in what will become the umbilical cord and tiny buds which will become limbs appear.

Aside from being the Prom Queen, pregnancy is probably the happiest and the most exciting part of a woman's life. However, the bulging tummy, the stretchmarks, and the fetus will not appear in an instant. It is a journey that will last up to nine months. And like any other health condition, there are early signs of pregnancy that will tell you that you must prepare in this nine-month long journey. These pregnancy signs will surely tell you that you are already carrying a child inside you without the use of do-it-yourself home pregnancy kits or without seeking the advice of a professional doctor.
One of the first signs of pregnancy is the delayed menstrual period. If you are already a month or two months delayed, then you are probably pregnant. However, it can only be easily determined by women who have a regular menstrual cycle. But if you are not sexually active and you have a delayed period, it is probably due to stress or other factors that affects your hormones.
Infertility affects 1 out of 6 couples. A lot of these couples go on to have unexplained infertility. I have been trying to conceive for over four years with no success. I have undergone many fertility treatments such as in virto fertilization.
They have still not found a reason of why I cannot get pregnant. In all my doctors appointments none of the doctors discussed how nutrition could play a role in my fertility. Foods have an affect on our hormone balance which plays a role in fertility.
Certain foods help in egg development, building of the endometrial lining, sperm count and quality. Organic foods are very beneficial in conception and fetal development. These foods contain a lot of necessary vitamins and minerals. Folic acid is one of the most important vitamins to take in pre-conception. Folic acid prevents birth defects.
Raw Meats And Liver
It´s time to avoid raw meats like seafood, sushi, beef, poultry, and others. They pose a risk of toxoplasmosis, salmonella, and E.coli bacteria. Deli meats, which include hot dogs, have resulted in a type of food poisoning, known as Listeriosis, on a large scale. This is specifically detrimental to fetuses. Although the risk is less in deli meats, which to-be-mom would want to risk the life of her unborn baby?
Animal livers are also avoided due to the high amount of vitamin A that they contain. Excess of this vitamin might cause birth defects in your baby. So, it´s advisable to remove liver from your pregnancy diet plan completely.
Fish
Fish containing high amounts of mercury or PCBs (Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls) is sold in many parts of America. Mercury in large amounts might lead to brain damage of your baby or cause delay in the learning processes in your child after birth. In addition to this, it might also lead to reduction in IQ, memory, and concentration in kids.

Having a baby can change your life and body dramatically, but by taking small steps every day you can get your shape back.
New mothers need a no-fuss plan to take control, without beating themselves up about slip-ups along the way, say nutritional therapist Kate Cook and postnatal fitness instructor Lucy Wyndham-Read, writers of new book An Unfit Mother: How to get your Health, Shape and Sanity back after childbirth. They told us how to do it.
Why is it so difficult to get back in shape after pregnancy?
Kate: Because we get overwhelmed and knackered; we don’t feel sexy; we go into mummy mode; we need lots of treats and we put it off.
Is it more difficult the longer you leave it after giving birth?
Kate: Well the longer you leave anything the bigger the mountain seems. You feel that you may never succeed – but in reality, if you start making really small changes rather that being intimated by a huge health programme, you are much more likely to stick to the small changes and get bigger results
Having a solid, one page birth plan is an essential item for any mom planning a natural birth in a hospital setting. I am confident that having such a plan directly contributed to me achieving the birth experience I wanted and made sure that my post birth wishes were respected as well. If I had the choice I would have had my daughter at home, but home births are illegal in New York state. (Any New York doctor or midwife who participates in a home birth will lose their license.) There are important elements that should be in your birth plan in order to clearly communicate with the nurses, doctors and midwives who will be assisting your birth.
