 Pregnancy First Trimester everything you need to know 


Today I am writing this blog for the newly wed girls or those who gets pregnant for the first time and don’t have much knowledge. Wondering how things would be, what they need to do and eat. First of all you would know about your pregnancy when you’ll miss your periods. Some girls might know about their pregnancy before missing their periods like they might feel nausea or different kind of feelings. Anyway the first reliable indicator is no periods.

Symptoms:

1- No periods
2- You will feel pain or cramps like periods but no blood only sensation, feelings that you would have it any time. You might have to go to washroom more often just to check it happened or not cause you’ll have same pain.

Confirmation :

We can confirm our pregnancy by these two tests

1- Blood test:

You will quickly get to know about your pregnancy by blood test.
 Pregnancy test check your blood for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) your body makes this hormone after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of your uterus.
This usually happens about 6 days after fertilization. Level of HCG rise quickly doubling every 2 to 3 days.
This is the quick confirmation test either yes or no.

2-Urine test:

  Pregnancy  test check your pee.
 This test might show negative or no result in the beginning it may takes 10 days to confirm your pregnancy it’s not a quick confirmation.
It can be checked by dipping the stick or stop in your urine or use a dropper to put urine into the strip
You’ll need to wait for few minutes before the results if there comes 2 lines yes you’re if 1 line then no pregnancy it can be done at home.
Urine and blood tests are 99% accurate. You should do these test in the morning when urine is more concentrated.

  Things to be done after confirmation:

Sometimes you stop taking duphaston after consulting your doctor later on .
