Pregnancy
The creation of a brand new human involves many complicated processes. The main ‘building blocks’ are human reproductive cells, known as gametes. Female gametes are egg cells, and male gametes are sperm.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time of great vulnerability for women. It has always been accompanied by some risk, especially in the past when we knew less than we do now about gestation and birth. Experience, while it is our fundamental source of knowledge, can also be misleading—one woman’s experience does not, cannot, and should not define another’s. A woman’s health, support network, emotional preparedness, and doctor/midwife can all influence her experience.
Pregnancy
If you were pregnant, you would probably want to know as soon as possible. If conception were to occur mid-cycle, at ovulation, it would be at least two weeks before you’d miss a period. Are there other early tell-tale signs of pregnancy? What are they and when do they appear?
