What is pregnancy?

Pregnancy is the term used for the period when a fetus (baby) is developing inside the mother's uterus (womb). It typically lasts about 40 weeks (just over 9 months), measured from the last menstrual period to delivery. It occurs as a result of sexual intercourse, when the egg released by the female ovary is fertilized by a sperm. Pregnancy is medically divided into three parts (trimesters). The first sign of pregnancy is typically a missed period. Morning sickness (nausea/vomiting) may accompany it.

Symptoms of pregnancy

  • Sexually active within the last 3 months

  • Sexually active without any contraception

  • Stomach feels bloated

  • Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late

  • Possibility of being pregnant

  • Abdominal pain

  • Lump or swelling in the abdomen/stomach

Questions your doctor may ask to check for pregnancy

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose pregnancy

  • Have you had sexual intercourse in the last three months?

  • Have you had sexual intercourse without using condoms?

  • Do you feel that your abdomen (stomach) is bloated or has a lot of gas?

  • Do you have abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late

  • Is there any possibility that you are pregnant?

Treatment for pregnancy

Pregnancy is often detected through a urine pregnancy test and usually confirmed by an ultrasound scan. The obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) will schedule regular check-ups for the mother and child. The specialist may recommend specific vaccinations and vitamin supplements. Depending on the patients medical history further recommendations may be made. It is important to get adequate prenatal care for your pregnancy, for the safety of both mom and baby.
