Pregnancy which finally leads to parenthood is, perhaps, the most important responsibility that women undertake in their life. Yet many young couples accept parturiency as routine, without much preparation. Even a four-year-old is now tutored on how to give the school admission interview. However, a young couple accepts it without any thought or expertise about the responsible task they have undertaken. Pregnancy in the current time means more interaction with the unborn, understanding early developments, and using the medical and counseling facilities available. In addition, most of us are going in for planned and limited number of children making each time a “precious” one.

Think Of Pregnancy While Planning Marriage

Girls should have child planning at the back of their mind while choosing their life partner. Few points regarding this should be taken into consideration. Most importantly, marriages between close relatives are not advisable. There is a risk of congenital anomalies. A gene of a type of anemia called thalassemia, if carried by both parents, may expose the child to full blown disease. With genetic counseling before marriage such a situation can be avoided, as has been done in Cyprus. Your doctor can investigate these by doing specialized blood tests, ultrasound, amniocentesis, chorionic villous biopsy, or fetal blood sampling during early signs of pregnancy. Pregnancy is a unique experience but it should be clearly differentiated from an illness.

How To Hear The Pregnancy Bell?

Other pregnancy symptoms are frequency in passing urine, especially in the early stages. You may witness tenderness and a feeling of fullness in the breasts by the end of the first month (this is due to the increased flow of blood to the breasts in preparation for nursing). You may also feel nausea in the early months. Consult your doctor for  confirmed opinion.
