Hopefully this article helps you to monitor your baby's development in the womb. 
 
There are several pregnancy questions that might be appearing in your mind but you may not be asking the same from your best friend, doctor, midwife because the questions sound downright dirty and you may feel awkward. For example, you may be perturbed about your pee or worried about your wind. This article is your opportunity to get those questions answered.

Q1 - Why Is My Weeing Becoming All Wonky?  
It is quite usual during the last stages of pregnancy because your urethra can be displaced and stretched because of the pressure from the baby (particularly if the head is engaged). This is a harmless condition and there is nothing to worry about if your flow of urine is going in an unexpected direction. 
 
Q2 - Is It Usual To Accidentally Pass Urine When I Laugh, Cough, Or Sneeze?  
This is obviously one of the most embarrassing pregnancy questions. There can be two reasons for this - first, it may be because of an issue with your pelvic floor, and second, because of the pressure from the baby. If the latter is the case, don't worry - it's completely usual. But, if former is the case, you are strongly recommended to talk to your midwife or doctor about it. They will tell you how to strengthen that area by practicing some simple pelvic floor exercises. 
 
Q3 - Good Things Are Smelling Bad - What's Wrong With Me?  
There is nothing wrong with you and there is nothing wrong in asking such pregnancy questions from your midwife or doctor. It happens during pregnancy because the change in hormones heightens your senses. For example, if you loved coffee before, you may now start hating that smell. In fact, the hormonal changes during those special days make your body pretty clever and it develops a sense of deciding what is good and what is bad for it - what it should accept and what it should avoid. 
 
Q4 - Should Morning Sickness Happen Only During The Morning Hours? Is It Unusual If It Lasts All Day?  
"Morning sickness" is just a term to describe the tendency of feeling nauseous during pregnancy. The best way to deal with it is to eat small meals 5-6 times a day instead of three big meals. 
 
Q5 - What About The Wind? 
Well, experiencing increased flatulence is completely normal while you are pregnant. It mainly happens because of the slow digestive process caused by the hormonal changes.

Pregnancy tests - whether home tests or blood tests - measure HCG levels in early pregnancy. Pregnancy tests will show a positive result if HCG is detected. HCG stands for "human chorionic gonadotropin", which is measured in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/ml). 
 
When is HCG Detected? 
HCG levels in early pregnancy can be detected approximately 11 days after conception by a blood test, and about 12-14 days after conception by a home pregnancy test, or urine test. In general, the HCG levels in early pregnancy should double every 48 hours in early pregnancy to indicate a viable pregnancy. This doubling rate will eventually slow down as the pregnancy progresses. After about 12 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta takes over in nourishing the baby. 
 
If the HCG level is less than 5mIU/ml, a negative pregnancy test will result. The Rate of Increase Is What Counts For A Healthy Pregnancy! 
 
Sometimes a completely healthy pregnancy will have low HCG levels in early pregnancy. An ultrasound is much more accurate than using exact HCG numbers. 
 
HCG Levels Chart. 
To get a general idea of the level of HCG at various stages in early pregnancy, follow this chart: 
3 weeks: 5 - 50 mIU/ml 
4 weeks: 5 - 426 mIU/ml 
5 weeks: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml 
6 weeks: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml 
7 - 8 weeks: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml 
9 - 12 weeks: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml 
13 - 16 weeks: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml 
17 - 24 weeks: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml 
25 - 40 weeks: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml 
 
Non-pregnant females: What Do Very Low Or Very High Levels Of HCG Mean? 
If low levels of HCG are detected, or if the doubling rate is too far apart, this could be a sign of miscarriage, or blighted ovum (in which the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall, but the embryo does not develop). If the levels of HCG is unusually high, this could be a sign of a molar pregnancy, which is the result of a genetic error during fertilization. Molar pregnancies rarely produce a developing embryo. High levels could also be a sign of a multiple pregnancy. 
 
HCG After Miscarriage or Childbirth. 
HCG levels after miscarriage should slowly go down, and return to a non-pregnant state. This varies according to the situation - miscarriage, D&C or delivery of a healthy baby. The further along the pregnancy was, the longer it will take for levels to go back to non-pregnancy level

If you are trying to conceive, then you are probably expecting and hoping to experience the first symptoms of pregnancy soon. The symptoms of early pregnancy vary from woman to woman, but there are many symptoms that you can almost count on experiencing in the first few weeks after conception.  
 
A symptom many woman report experiencing is implantation spotting. This is light bleeding that occurs at around 10 days after ovulation. This may not be a first symptom of pregnancy for all women, since some women experience spotting on a regular basis. But if you do not usually experience any bleeding between cycles, and you experience spotting between 8 days after ovulation and 13 days after ovulation, it could be implantation spotting. 
 
Another first symptom of pregnancy almost every woman reports having early in their pregnancy is breast tenderness. The tenderness can vary from extreme to mild. Some women report that even a slight breeze would cause them pain, while others say they experienced light tenderness. Many women experience breast tenderness before their period begins, however, so this may not always be a sign of pregnancy. 
 
In addition to spotting and breast tenderness there are a few other first symptoms of pregnancy. Some women report feeling extremely hungry without being able to get full, while others say they just felt a little hungrier than usual. Some women say they experience extreme thirst rather than hunger. Other symptoms of early pregnancy include fatigue, nausea, bloating, headaches, stomach and abdominal pains, gas, and even itchiness and dizzy spells. 
 
As you can see, the first symptoms of pregnancy vary quite a bit from woman to woman. Most experts say not to count on being pregnant if you have just one or two symptoms, since many early pregnancy symptoms are also symptoms of PMS or the flu. Just don't get too excited until you get a big fat positive on your home pregnancy test!

conceived. However, there are certain common signs of pregnancy that every
woman should be aware of. Missing or delayed menstrual cycles are the most
commonly experienced signs of pregnancy, as following conception typically
women will experience little to no blood flow. Implantation Bleeding is another
prevalent sign of pregnancy, reported to be experienced by 20%-30% of women.

changes in your menstrual cycle, blood flow or unusual cramping it may be an
early sign of pregnancy.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Other detectable early signs of
pregnancy include fatigue, breast tenderness and nausea. Once you have

It is also quite common for women in
