Pregnancy is a natural biologіcal procеss whеn a sperm fеrtilіzes an еgg and an embryo dеvelops into a foetus. This delicate journey takes place within the mother's womb, where the foetus grows and develops over a period of approximately 40 weeks. During this time, the mother's body undergoes significant changes to nurture and sustain the developing life. At CritiCare Asia Hospitals, we recognize the joy that comes with the news of a positive pregnancy test and understand the potential anxieties that may accompany it. Our compassionate healthcare
providers are here to guide you through every step of this incredible journey, providing the support you need during this transformative time.
Natural conception occurs when a sperm fertilises an egg during sexual intercourse. It is the most common way pregnancies occur and does not involve any medical intervention. Regular ovulation and a healthy reproductive system are key factors for natural conception.
ART refers to various medical procedures that assist couples with fertility issues in achieving pregnancy.
One of the earliest signs of pregnancy is a missed menstrual period. However, other factors like stress or hormonal imbalances can also cause missed periods.
Morning sickness, including nausea and vomiting, is a common early pregnancy symptom. It is caused by hormonal changes and typically improves as the pregnancy progresses.
Feeling more tired than usual is common during the early stages of pregnancy. Hormonal changes and increased metabolism are contributing factors.
Many women experience breast tenderness and sensitivity as their bodies prepare for breastfeeding.
The growing uterus can put pressure on the bladder, leading to more frequent urination.
Changes in hormones can cause food cravings or aversions during pregnancy.
Hormonal fluctuations can lead to mood swings and emotional changes.
Some women experience light spotting or bleeding, known as implantation bleeding, in early pregnancy.
