Pregnancy, also called gestation, is the period in which single or multiple progenies grows in the womb of a woman. Multiple conceptions comprise of more than one progeny, popularly referred to as twins. It can be brought about through sexual contact or aided reproductive/ gynecological expertise. A pregnancy naturally terminates at birth, under unfortunate circumstances, maybe through a miscarriage or abortion. Different countries have enacted varying laws to govern safe abortion, some degrees of being liberal up to extremely conservative. Delivery naturally takes place after about 40 weeks from the beginning of the most recent menstrual cycle, that is approximately nine months. Early pregnancy is characterized by missing periods, breast tenderness, queasiness and spewing, incessant pangs of hunger, and making numerous trips to the washrooms. Confirmation can be done through undergoing a pregnancy test.
Another thing to note is that if you have breast implants you might want to check the breasts are producing milk as they should. Most women that have teardrop implants don’t experience any issues – but it’s best to make sure.

In fact, women need more calories every day incrementally – from the fourth month of pregnancy until delivery.
