The process where a sperm cell and an egg cell unite in the fallopian tube, marking the beginning of a pregnancy.

The implantation of the fertilized egg (blastocyst) into the lining of the uterus.

The organ that connects the developing fetus to the mother's uterus, facilitating nutrient exchange and waste removal.

The ability of the placenta to allow oxygen to pass from the mother's blood to the fetus and carbon dioxide to flow in the opposite direction.

The placenta absorbs nutrients from the mother's blood and delivers them to the developing fetus.

The placenta's role in storing glucose, iron, fat, and soluble vitamins for the fetus's growth and development.

The placenta helps eliminate waste products from the fetus's blood, such as carbon dioxide, bilirubin, and some urea and uric acid.

The placenta acts as a protective barrier against some infections, though certain viruses and drugs can still pass to the fetus.

Brownish pigmentation on the face during pregnancy, often appearing on the cheeks and nose, resembling a butterfly shape.

Irregular, painless contractions of the uterus that occur throughout pregnancy. They become stronger and more frequent during the third trimester.

Softening of the lower uterine segment, noticeable during a bimanual examination. Occurs between 6 to 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Softening of the cervix, uterus, and vagina during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

Bluish discoloration of the cervix, vagina, and labia during pregnancy caused by increased blood flow.

Intermittent uterine contractions detected by bimanual examination early in pregnancy.

Normal vaginal discharge occurring during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

The first time a pregnant woman feels fetal movement.

The amount of amniotic fluid at term is typically between 500-1500 ml.

A condition where there is too much amniotic fluid, exceeding 1500 ml.

A condition where there is too little amniotic fluid, less than 500 ml.

A woman who is pregnant for the first time.

A woman who has had two or more pregnancies.

A woman who has not given birth to a baby after 20 weeks of gestation.

Visits should increase in frequency as pregnancy progresses. Before 28 weeks: every 4 weeks. From 28 to 36 weeks: every 2 weeks. After 36 weeks: every week. At least 3 visits within the first 20 weeks is acceptable in a normal pregnancy.

A slight increase in weight is typical during the first trimester (1-2 kg) followed by a larger gain during the second trimester ( around 6-7 kg). During the final trimester, weight gain slows again (approximately 3-4 kg).

Pregnant women should be fully immunized against tetanus. If a previous vaccination is not available, two doses are required during pregnancy, four weeks apart, starting in the third month.

Common signs include persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, severe headache, sudden swelling, blurred vision, vaginal fluid leakage, and urinary issues. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.

These signs are suggestive of pregnancy. They are not definitive, as they can be caused by other factors.
