Every representative of the fair sex,who is going to become a mother, experiences natural excitement. She thinks a lot about the health of the future child, about its upcoming birth, about possible complications, and so on. In general, there are many reasons for concern. However, you should not dwell on the negative - it is much more useful and important during this period to think about yourself and tune in to a positive mood. So, for example, you can answer one of the frequently asked questions that are interesting to any parents: when will our baby be born? To find out the exact date, there are several methods, namely:
- Determination of the possible date of delivery on the day of ovulation and the date of conception
- when examined by a gynecologist
- focusing on the last monthly
- on the basis of ultrasound
In some cases, for example, at a later stage,Determining the future date of birth has its own nuances. We would like to dwell in more detail on how to calculate the day of birth of a child based on the date of conception.
What is the lunar cycle
Before using the method of determinationdate (note, approximate) of birth by conception, you need to know exactly what day you got pregnant. For this, there is a lunar calendar, developed in the mid-19th century by a Hungarian professor in tandem with a psychologist from the Czech Republic. Having examined 30 thousand women and based on statistical data, scientists have developed their own theory that reveals the secret of how the date of fertilization, that is, conception, can be calculated. Finding out this day is quite difficult, but, as we know, nothing is impossible. According to their observations, in addition to the usual menstrual cycle, women have another one, called the lunar cycle. It directly depends on the phase of the Moon. The decisive stage is the stage of the Moon that was when the lady was born. It is from this moment that the lunar cycle is directly counted. It turns out that the most suitable moment for conceiving a child is precisely this Lunar phase, which does not depend on the female menstrual cycle and the time when the fertilization of the egg occurred. For example, if you were born on a full moon, then throughout your life the most favorable periods for conception will be the periods of the full moon, as well as the two days before them. However, the menstrual cycle does not play any role. Followers of this method recommend not only taking into account the day of ovulation when planning a child, but also focusing on your lunar phase. However, in fairness, it should be noted that official medicine is very skeptical about this method. It is unlikely that your local gynecologist will take such a calculation seriously. But if you are really eager to take this method into service, then why not take the lunar cycle into service? As they say, let the child not amuse himself…
We learn the term by the day of fertilization
Determine what the expected date will bechildbirth, based on the day of conception, is not such a difficult process as it may seem to some at first glance. Everyone knows that a woman's body is capable of fertilization only at the moment of ovulation, that is, when a mature "ready" egg leaves the ovary. The menstrual cycle lasts on average from 28 to 35 calendar days, and ovulation occurs in the middle of this period. Therefore, if you know its exact date, you can easily predict the approximate day of childbirth. Many representatives of the fair sex feel the time of ovulation. This period is characterized by painful, "stabbing" sensations in the lower abdomen, there may be profuse vaginal discharge, some even bloody, and sexual desire increases. Most women complain of elevated (37-37.5 degrees) body temperature and sweating. It is also possible to determine the day of ovulation using ultrasound. But how can you know when your baby is due if you don't have an exact idea of when you ovulated? To do this, you should calculate the middle of your menstrual cycle and add 280 days to it. In this case, you can calculate the possible due date based on the day of conception. Let's say that the menstrual cycle of the fair half of humanity lasts 28 calendar days, which means that ovulation occurs in the second week, that is, on the twelfth to fourteenth day. It is from this point that you should start calculating. Now add ten lunar months to the date of expected fertilization - you will get an approximate due date. The latter can also be determined by the date of sexual intercourse. This option is much more reliable, especially if sexual relations were isolated in the last menstrual cycle. However, do not forget that fertilization of the egg may not necessarily occur at the moment of sexual union - otherwise, the calculation will be unreliable. Sperm "live" in the woman's body for several days, so if, for example, unprotected intercourse took place on the tenth day of the cycle, then ovulation and, consequently, conception could have occurred on the twelfth or thirteenth day. The expected date of future birth is calculated based on the date of conception, starting from the moment the "ready" egg leaves its "shelter". Only such a calculation will help to find out more accurately when the expected date of birth of the baby is expected. However, this generally accepted method of calculating the expected date of birth has its drawbacks. More precisely - one, but a very significant drawback - it is absolutely not suitable for those women whose menstrual cycle is unstable. Moreover, the stronger this instability, the greater the error in the date of birth. Keep in mind that a lot can affect the date of birth of the child. Everything depends on the health of the mother, physical characteristics, condition of the fetus and other individual factors. Did you know that doctors identify a number of reasons that influence the date of birth? For example:
- Increased tone of the uterus
- Maternal hypertension
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Toxicosis of the second half of pregnancy
- Defective nutrition of the expectant mother
After all, even a common cold caninfluence the day of the baby's appearance. As the saying goes, man proposes, but God disposes. Therefore, no matter what methods you use, know that the date of the baby's appearance in our world that you have calculated is approximate. So is it worth making such a careful calculation, worrying, trying in vain to determine the day, wasting time? Anyway, no one except the baby will set the exact date. Even doctors cannot yet determine the exact day of birth. Just prepare for this event in advance and tune in only to positive emotions. We recommend reading:
