Category: What Is The Best Pregnancy Test?

There are 6 key pregnancy hormones. Consultant Gynaecologist Pradnya Pisal outlines what they are and what they all do: ⁠
⁠
🔸HCG’s only function is supporting the corpus luteum.⁠
⁠
🔸Oestrogen prepares the uterine lining for the implantation of the embryo. It is helpful in preventing miscarriage, and acts as a catalyst for chemical changes for growth, development and energy in the baby. It steps up blood circulation and regulates the production of other key hormones, as well as promoting breast engorgement in early pregnancy and regulating bone density. ⁠
⁠
🔸Progesterone prepares the uterine lining for the implantation of the embryo, suppresses maternal response to fatal antigens and prevents the rejection of trophoblast. It maintains quiescence of the uterine muscle and is helpful in preventing miscarriage and pre-term labour. It also encourages breast tissue growth.⁠
⁠
🔸Relaxin prepares the uterine lining for the implantation of the embryo. It aids uterine growth and accommodation and the control of myometrial activity to prevent preterm labour, and cervical ripening and the facilitation of labour. It is also important in reducing insulin resistance.⁠
⁠
🔸Oxytocin stimulates the ripening of the cervix, leading to successive dilation during labour. Along with other hormones, it causes the release of prostaglandins, which play an important role in the ripening of the cervix. It also aids bonding with the baby. ⁠
⁠
🔸Prolactin starts in early pregnancy and there is a sustained rise until the third trimester and postnatally.⁠

6 weeks and a scare…i am terrified of what they are going to find. I’ve had twinges all day on my left side and im dreading the possibility of the worst case scenario.
I’m crossing fingers, toes and everything else that our little miracle is ok…but i am terrified.

I find out about rainbow baby tomorrow!! I find out my hormonal levels and I’m praying they’re fine! Then in a couple weeks I’ll have my first ultrasound. None of this feels real!

Moreover, our two volunteers Hassan and Holylight at Elerai Secondary School doing a workshop about first aid.

[It won’t be long] This time next week we will know if it will be a little brother 🧒🏻 or a little sister 👧🏻 standing beside our beautiful boys.

What do you think we will have? Will I forever be a boy mama or will we have a little girl in this family?🤔 🙏🏼 .

So yeah it’s a faint line but my friends ( who became mothers) says that I’m pregnant and they were all so excited. One of em says it’s still a faint line since it’s on Its early implantation. They said tho the lines are
going to get darker after few weeks.

Am I really pregnant???? I already have the symptoms though.

DIZZINESS HEADACHES AND NAUSEA MAKES ME WANT TO CRY EVERYDAY 😢😂 #earlypregnancy

FOODS TO AVOID WHILE PREGNANT 🤰
.
.
.
When you find out your pregnant, your life changes immediately. One of the biggest things that you have to consider is the foods that you are consuming. Although everyone has their own opinions and thoughts on what to avoid, here’s what I avoid during pregnancy:

1️⃣ Caffeine & Alcohol

2️⃣ Unpasteurized Diary

3️⃣ Raw Eggs

4️⃣ Undercooked & Deli Meats

5️⃣ High Mercury & Raw Fish

For those wondering, this is a throwback picture when I have 5 1/2 months pregnant with Kate, the first time my belly “popped”. I wonder when my belly will pop with this baby (weekly progression pictures to come)

What are some things you avoid during pregnancy? Am I missing anything above? Do you consume any of the above while pregnant?
