Conception and pregnancy - a complex physiological processes that occur in a woman's body.
Since the exact date of conception is difficult to determine, among obstetricians accepted to count pregnancy from the first day of last menstrual period, the length of it is 280 days or 40 weeks. The first month of pregnancy One of the most important. What happens in the body at this time?
During each menstrual cycle matures 20 or slightly more eggs during the second week of them is determined "Leader" - One or several eggs in special bottle, which is called graafovym Protruding above the surface of the ovary. By the 14th day of the cycle, the bubble bursts and the egg is released from the ovary. This period is called ovulation . If there is a meeting of the egg with the sperm - fertilization - Pregnancy occurs. At this point in the shell of the egg starts a chemical process that prevents other sperm get inside. Sperm inside the egg begins, dissolves, its core is combined with egg nucleus, as a result of this genetic information consists of father and mother.
On-site graafova bubble appears a small pouch with a liquid called luteum Wherein begin to develop blood vessels to produce various hormones, primarily progesterone . These hormones are necessary for the preservation and maintenance of pregnancy at an early stage. Early toxicosis, as signs of pregnancy is associated with the functioning of the corpus luteum. Observations show that in the 16th week, when the function of the corpus luteum takes over the placenta, early toxicosis usually disappear.
After the merger of the egg with the sperm is formed a single-celled embryo - zygote . Which starts hard to share. Within 30 hours, the cells were divided into 2, and after 10 hours they have already 4, the end of the week the number of cells reaches 250. The shape of the embryo at this time resembles a ball, and the embryo is called a blastotsistoys size of 0, 1-0, 2 mm.
By the 7th day of the formed cell mass is divided into 2 parts: the germ-knot and the surrounding surface layer. Reaching into the uterus, the embryo attaches to the wall, from which he now receives food and oxygen.
By the 14th day of embryonic cells were split into two layers, and by the end of the third week between the third layer is formed. These layers are called germinal petals are subsequently begin to develop certain tissues and organs.
At the same time laid chord From it further develop child's spine. At 17-19 days of gestation in the bud from the middle layer formed blood vessels, and three days later there is a heart that has a first form of a tube. On day 23 heart is reduced and at the same time beginning to emerge finally formed its shape, cavities, valves, intracardiac baffles.
Is the formation of arterial and venous vascular system. From this layer are formed the muscles, bones, genitals, and the inner layer are formed pochki.Iz digestive and respiratory systems, from the external - the skin and nerves.
At the 4 th week of pregnancy are very important form extraembryonic organs - chorion and amnion From which then it is important for the sustenance of the embryo organs - the placenta and amniotic bubble in which the child will live up to the birth.
By the end the first month of pregnancy there is a complete implantation, ie, implementation of the ovum in the uterine wall. By this time, swells and seals the cervix to prevent ingress of any infection. The uterus reaches the size of a hen's egg. Since that time and up to the 10th week the fetus is called an embryo. His power is completely dependent on the mother. Formed head of the embryo. At this point, the child has a size of about 0, 5-1 mm.

The test is very simple, carefully read the instructions, in a container of urine for some time (indicated on the package), lower the strip up to the marked level, then lay for a few minutes on a dry surface and wait for the result. If two strips of red - the pregnancy is confirmed.
Often indirect signs of early pregnancy manifested by a slight increase and solidification of the mammary glands, their appearance in a little pain, occurrence of morning sickness or vomiting, changes in weight. There may be hypersensitive to certain odors, irritability, tearfulness, drowsiness.

Pathology and complications of pregnancy first month
Pathology that can occur in the first month of pregnancy, include ectopic or miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy - A pathology when fertilized egg begins to develop outside the uterus in a section of the fallopian tube, at least - in the abdomen, cervix or ovaries. In such cases, the embryo is implanted outside the uterine cavity, has no conditions for their growth and development and necessary power means, however, such pregnancy is terminated 6-8 weeks. This damaged or ruptured fallopian tubes, which can threaten the life of the pregnant woman.
Ectopic pregnancy may occur in women who had taken over a long period means to induce ovulation and improve fertility. There are other factors contributing to the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy:
- repeated interruption of pregnancy in the previous periods;
- inflammatory processes in the pelvis and occurrence of adhesions;
- surgical sterilization (tubal ligation);
- previous ectopic pregnancy;
- scarring after abdominal operations, and conducted operations on the ovaries.
The first thing that should alert pregnant, this sharp stabbing pain in the pelvis or abdomen. Other symptoms of ectopic pregnancy:
