Pregnancy Baby Development: The Start Of Your Pregnancy ‘Calendar’

You may be wondering about the changes regarding your own body for your pregnancy as well as your baby’s development

When it comes to using a pregnancy calendar to understand approximately what’s going on with your pregnancy baby development week to week remember that this is only an approximation. Most of the time the exact conception date is never really known so your ‘Calendar’ is started from the day of your last menstrual period

With the majority of women releasing an egg or eggs during the middle of their cycle the greatest chances for becoming pregnant are the 3 to 5 days following this ovulation

Pregnancy Baby Development: ‘EDD’ And ‘LMP’

Let’s stop any confusion about these 2 terms here. When you make your first prenatal visit to the appropriate doctor they will tell you your ‘EDD” which just stands for ‘Expected Delivery Date’

This is calculated as stated above from your last ‘LMP” which just stands for ‘Last Menstrual Period’

So if you glance at any charts or doctor’s notes and see ‘EDD” and “LMP” you don’t need to worry, just standard short hand for pregnancy matters for doctors to complete their notes quickly

Pregnancy Baby Development: Weeks 3 and 4

During your pregnancy baby development occurs in certain leaps and bounds. You might not realize until week 3 or all the way through week 4 that you are indeed pregnant

After the first 4 weeks of pregnancy baby development has been happening somewhat rapidly but starting from a very small group of cells that comprise the egg your baby is still only about half of an inch in length your baby’s weight is less than an once

However even at his early stage and very small size your baby’s heart normally begins to beat by the end of the first month. In another week or two you’ll be able to see this in an ultrasound

Pregnancy Baby Gender: ‘X’ chromosome Versus The ‘Y’ Chromosome

Pregnancy Baby Gender: The Basics

For a baby boy it is the ‘X’ chromosome and for a baby girl it is the ‘Y’ chromosome.

Believe it or not, For conceiving a baby boy or a baby girl the sexual position can have a lot to do with affecting the gender outcome for your baby

Pregnancy Baby Gender: Male ‘X’ Chromosome Vs. Female ‘Y’ Chromosome

As it is with most of nature, the female is actually tougher in the long haul. This all comes down to the fact that to create a population you only need one male and seven or more females to create a decent gene pool.

For focusing on your pregnancy baby gender to ‘let us have a son’ you have to take into account that the male ‘X’ chromosome has shorter life span and is weaker than the female ‘Y’ chromosome.

The male ‘X’ chromosome however is faster than the female ‘Y’ chromosome

So male chromosome: shorter life span, weaker but faster (Stop laughing)

Female ‘Y’ chromosome: longer life span, stronger but slower.

Pregnancy Baby Gender: Position For A Boy

To conceive a baby boy it is advisable to try on the exact day of ovulation. This is because of the relative fragility of the male ‘X’ chromosome. You want the egg to be right there waiting for them.

The longer the wait the more longer they are to die off and leave only the  female ‘Y’ chromosome.

You’ll also want deep penetration (Only real way to put it) in order to make the trip for the male ‘X’ chromosome as short as possible so they have a better chance of surviving the trip.

This is just one factor to consider when consciously working your pregnancy baby gender for a son or daughter.

Other methods for choosing your pregnancy baby gender for a boy or a girl will be explained in other posts.

When it comes to pregnancy and babies women have a lot of questions especially first time moms

You’ll find that as you get further along in your pregnancy there will be no shortage of people more than willing to give you advice but you really want to listen to a good set of doctors

Pregnancy and Babies: Your Doctors! Yes, Plural, As In Actually 3 Doctors

This one is simple but can mean you have to ‘shop’ around a little sometimes. Ideally you want a good family doctor that you trust and a good obstetrician.

An obstetrician is a doctor who specializes in attending to the special circumstances a pregnant woman experiences on the path through her pregnancy up to the birth of the child.

A pediatrician is focused on the health, wellness and any sickness with infants and children. How far up in age a pediatrician works with children will vary with each individual doctor.

As a side note a gynecologist is the doctor who deals with issues regarding the female reproductive system.

Pregnancy and Babies: You Can Do It All As Your Focus Is On Your Baby

It might seem like a lot, and it is a little work but when it comes to pregnancy and babies most woman find that don’t really notice it as their minds are thinking about their child, not focused on themselves

Pregnancy and Babies: Plan But Realize…

The bottom line is that you will want to plan ahead as much as possible but the vast majority of parents will say that when the baby is finally born the experience is so overwhelming that a most of the plans get tossed out the window.

Having a baby is an extremely positive and very powerful experience so you will almost always find an inner strength to deal with the time and energy demands a newborn will place on you as well as a mental / emotional component to help you deal with all the worry about a lot of things that you will find are actually perfectly normal.

Pregnancy and Babies: It’s Been Done Many Times Before

Remember people have been doing the ‘pregnancy and babies and having a family dance’ for many, many years. So try to keep that in mind so you don’t over react.

But realize that when it comes to pregnancy and babies if you really feel something is wrong, then get to the proper doctor and get some answers.

You’ll find you don’t feel stupid because, as mentioned above you, are not thinking about yourself, you are thinking about your baby, which is a pretty cool feeling…
