Know About Pregnancy
When a male sperm fertilize the ovum pregnancy starts. Then the egg divides into two cells, and continuously this process begins until a little ball of cells was formed. This cell ball moves to the womb (uterus), and settled in the uterus lining. This cell ball turns in to the baby.

The placenta plays an important role during the pregnancy; it helps in the exchange of oxygen, wastage, and nutrients through mother fetus by producing hormones. At the time of 18 to 20 weeks it develops properly and it continuously grows up to pregnancy.
The umbilical cord attached with placenta and to the baby’s umbilicus. This cord takes nutrients and oxygen to the baby from the placenta. This also carries wastes to the mother from the baby.
The developing unborn baby was covered with two thin membranes. These two form a bag which are filled with a watery liquid named as amniotic fluid, this helps a baby from outer shocks, pressure and bumps. In this baby easily moves and due to this fluid they have an even temperature. These membranes also protect the unborn from the outer infections.

This membrane normally breaks only the time of your labour pain begins. After the 7 days of
fertilization, the uterus produces a hormone known as human chloronic gonadotrophin (hCG) hormone, by this you know you are pregnant.
