Gestation - what is it?

Gestation is essentially the same pregnancy, only its duration is determined by the number of full weeks of gestation that have passed from the date of the first day of the last menstruation to the time when the cord of the newborn was cut. If accurate information about the last menstrual bleeding is not available, then a specific gestation period is established with the help of other clinical studies.

How can I calculate gestational gestation?

1. The first method requires an exact date for the onset of the last menstruation, and its regularity. During the gestation the age of the baby is considered from this day, and not from the moment of conception.
2. The method of ultrasound in the early stages is also informative for the concretization of gestation in pregnancy. If a woman does not remember the date of arrival of the last menstruation, then the ultrasound apparatus will help establish the gestational age. You can do this research at the earliest stages of gestation, starting with the fifth or sixth week. However, it is better to establish the gestational period of finding the fetus in the uterus from the 8th to the 18th week. Ultrasound will show the exact size of the child and the pace of its development, clarify the presence of inconsistencies and pathologies, determine what gestational week is at one time or another.

What is the gestational dominant?

This term is often found in the results of a study of pregnant women. It means that during gestation (gestation) a woman has to go through not only physiological changes, but also emotional. The latter can take precedence over consciousness and manifest themselves in the form of tearfulness, vulnerability, mood swings and other things. Sometimes this state grows into the fact that the future mother begins to perceive the very fact of pregnancy as a traumatic factor.

Usually, this phenomenon is common among those who become pregnant at a very young age. This is entirely due to the low quality of life and unpleasant prospects in social and economic development. All this can subsequently lead to hatred for the newborn and serious psychological problems.
