terhességek

Terhességek is a term that refers to pregnancies, the state of a female mammal carrying a developing offspring or offspring within her body. In humans, a pregnancy typically lasts around 40 weeks, counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. This period is divided into three trimesters, each with distinct developmental stages for the fetus and physiological changes for the mother. The first trimester involves initial development and organogenesis, the second sees significant growth and the development of recognizable features, and the third is characterized by rapid weight gain and preparation for birth.

Pregnancies can occur through sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). The confirmation of pregnancy is usually done through hormone tests, either via urine or blood. Throughout a pregnancy, regular prenatal care is recommended to monitor the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. This care includes check-ups, ultrasounds, and advice on nutrition and lifestyle.

Complications can arise during pregnancies, which are known as pregnancy complications or disorders. These can affect the mother, the fetus, or both, and may include conditions like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or ectopic pregnancy. The successful conclusion of a pregnancy is childbirth, where the fetus is expelled from the mother's body. This can occur through vaginal delivery or Cesarean section. Multiple pregnancies, such as twins, triplets, or more, involve the development of more than one fetus concurrently.
