Renew Customer Reviews-How long until you know you're not pregnant?

11 things you might not know about pregnancy
1. The uterus grows like crazy
During the course of pregnancy, the uterus grows 500 times its normal size. This essentially means that the uterus goes from the size of an orange to the size of a watermelon.
2. Feet can be made longer and wider
A study by Professor Neil Segal led him to conclude that pregnancy can change a woman's shoe size. 30-60% of the women he interviewed (who had been pregnant at least once) told the researcher that their shoe size had changed as a result of carrying a child. This may be due to the extra weight they are carrying, which puts pressure on their lower halves.
3. Your baby will urinate inside you
The Children's Hospital of Wisconsin reveals that while in its mother's womb, a baby will produce urine. This can occur from the fifth week of pregnancy. And where exactly does this urine go, you ask? Well, it turns out that babies actually ingest this fluid after it becomes part of the amniotic fluid that surrounds them in the womb.
4. A crying baby can trigger breastfeeding
New mothers and pregnant women, according to the California Pacific Medical Center, can begin breastfeeding the moment they hear a baby cry. Also, this baby doesn't have to be yours for them to start secreting milk.
5. You will be more prone to broken bones
A hormone known as relaxin makes it easier for pregnant women to break bones. This is because this substance softens your joints so that your hips and pelvis can prepare to flare for birth.
6. Babies can cry in the womb
When examining 4D ultrasounds, technicians have noticed that babies sometimes cry in the womb. The scientists also observed this by studying the breathing patterns of unborn babies.
7. More estrogen is produced
The International Pharmacy for Women reveals that by the time a woman is six weeks pregnant, she will produce three times more estrogen than during the peak of her menstrual cycle. This can easily (and understandably) affect your mood.
8. The sense of smell can increase
Hormones on the attack again. This phenomenon that occurs with the smell of the pregnant woman, is known as hyperosmia, and occurs during the first trimester of pregnancy. The increase in estrogens can cause alterations in the sense of smell of the pregnant woman.
Odors that were previously pleasant or went unnoticed can cause nausea and even vomiting. And it is common for pregnant women to change perfume during pregnancy or to reject foods they once loved.
9. Your blood increases in volume
To adapt to the growth of pregnancy, the body's blood increases by an amazing 50%. This causes the heart to pump more blood as the uterus receives one-fifth of the blood supply a woman had before she was pregnant.
10. Pregnancy in the brain is one thing
If you read pregnancy manuals and listen to expectant mothers, yes, there is such a thing as brain pregnancy or mumnesia. And there's also research evidence showing memory deficiencies. This is because pregnant women must deal with increased hormone levels, lack of sleep, stress, and more.
11. Taller women are more likely to conceive twins
A study found that of the 125 women who gave birth to twins and 24 who gave birth to triplets, those who gave birth to two or more babies were typically one inch taller. It was explained that any circumstance that affects the amount of insulin-like growth factor available to modify the sensitivity of the ovary to follicle-stimulating hormone appears to govern the rate of spontaneous twinning.
Detoxification (detox) is essentially the process of ridding your body of toxins. Originating from treatment used in drug and alcohol recovery, the concept of detoxification has crept into the diet world, applying a similar approach to potential toxins in food and the environment. A detox diet typically involves fasting, various herbal supplements, laxatives, and other methods used to flush your system. Renew Customer Reviews
