Hello and welcome to in good shape my topic today is about one of the middle east fascinating events in our life weve all gone through im talking about birth worldwide on average women have 2. 6 babies my wife and i have 2 kids its interesting to see whether word pregnant is derived from in different cultures in syllabic languages pregnant is connected with the word burden in china however being pregnant means being lucky and im lucky too because im getting to meet dr nancy stair shes a midwife and she helped to deliver more than 1200 babies over the years and shes taken care of families from more than 60 different countries. Hello doctors to nice to me here is to me you were born in the u. S. You came to berlin 24 years ago and your midwife since 2001 i guess so how is it being a midwife is it still thrilling its absolutely amazing i love every day that i go to work every birth is different every woman is different its very unique every family is different and being at a birth is something that just makes my joy grow more and more you know the moment when a baby is born and then it really fills the room and as you can see yesterday i had an amazing birth and im still walking on clouds wow so even after all those years its still amazing absolutely i think nearly everybody of us knows how to get pregnant. But when does a pregnancy start actually got a pregnancy can be different for a woman then what her doctor says the doctor would say pregnancy starts when you see that their heart is beating an embryo for a woman it could be that she feels pregnant before then that she knows that shes pregnant because her body is changing some women actually only feel pregnant when they feel the baby move then they are certain that the president what actually happens in the room during pregnancy when do the pet sure is nice in terms develop in the embryonic stage lets take a look at what is hidden from our eyes just this is one of the smallest human cells and this is the biggest a female over or x. L. Just even visible to the naked eye. To male sperm cells however are tiny though they can still travel hundreds of times their own length in only a minute over a 1000000000 sperm cells can be released during a single of jackie elation that only the fastest will fertilize the egg when a sperm enters the over they combine to form the basis for a new human being. By the time 30 hours had elapsed the fertilized egg has divided into 2 cells inside 3 days there are 16 and they keep on dividing. As soon as the odd ball shape blastocyst attaches itself to the womans uterus membrane she releases hormones which condition her body for pregnancy they ensure for instance that no more eggs ripen in the meantime. Thats why a missed period can be the 1st clear sign of pregnancy but the hormonal readjustments can also cause nausea. In the early weeks the placenta and umbilical cord form connecting the embryo with the mothers circulation and metabolism until birth its now high time to drop habits harmful to the child like Drinking Alcohol and smoking. Next the initial signs of a brain and spinal marrow appear the heart begins beating. Buds form which grow into limbs and digits the fetus gradually takes shape. The 1st 12 weeks are the most critical in a pregnancy during which 80 percent of all miscarriages take place usually because the fetus doesnt develop correctly. The growth accelerates from week 13 on the fetus takes up more space leaving less room for the mothers organs she may suffer shortness of breath or backache as a result. Survival rates for premature babies increased dramatically from the 24th week on but children born at this stage have a lot of catching up to do. The fetus still weighs less than half the average child born at full term but that changes rapidly around 4 weeks before birth the baby inverts its position in the womb to head down. The signal for birth is thought to come from the child as soon as its lungs are fully developed the combination of proteins and the mothers hormones trigger the powerful spasms of labor. Then its only a matter of hours before a brand new human being emerges into the light of its 1st new day. When women announce that they are pregnant they got a lot of advice from friends but not every advice holds true. So lets ask a profession that about all those myths heres myth number one pregnant women have to go to this is an old wives tale ok this isnt true women should not eat for 2 during pregnancy they should think for 2 they should eat foods that are healthier but they shouldnt eat for 2 in the 1st 3 months of pregnancy they should only 100 calories more predate in the last 3 months of pregnancy only 400 more calories per day myth number 2 if the mother to be has a round belly it will be a girl if she is appointed belly it will be a boy this is true and not true a woman who is smaller she doesnt have as much space between her diaphragm and between her pelvis so her belly is going to be more here more forward more in front of her for a woman whos taller it could be that her belly looks a little bit smaller even though her baby is bigger than the belly of the woman whos smaller myth number 3 in some cultures people believe that the baby is dirty after birth you see any truth about this this is absolutely and the babies are not dirty when theyre born theyre born out of a sterile environment its very important after birth that babies arent bathed in the 1st 24 hours we know that from the World Health Organization many mothers dont pay their babies for the 1st few days after birth the way that a baby smells is very important to give the woman cues for breastfeeding and for bonding with her baby especially in the 1st 2 hours after birth its very important that the baby is together with the mother lange skin to skin and has the opportunity to breastfeed with number 4 in some cultures people want the 1st born child to be a boy and some believe that. Women are responsible for the child 6 the woman is absolutely not responsible if its going to be a boy or if its going to be a girl ive heard from some families ive taken care of here in berlin the women believe that if they pray hard enough or if they do some kind of purification ritual before they get pregnant that they can have a boy because thats what their family hopes for them to have but this isnt true its actually the man who is the deciding factor the sperm either has an x. Chromosome or y. A chromosome. Do you know which organ is usually this size. The uterus the uterus is the place where the embryo and later the fetus develops on for birth during this time this organised like a busy mom working 247 and it has real superpowers. Its pretty remarkable how much can happen in 9 months in a womans belly an embryo grows to the size of a baby and its home grows along with it the uterus before pregnancy the uterus is smaller than a pair and weighs around 60 grams but it already clearly is a major role in conception in the neck of the uterus or cervix glands produce whats called cervical mucus. During our humiliation the mucus project sperm cells and guides them to the age at the same time the hormones progesterone and estrogen caused the mucous membrane of the uterus or endometrium to become more viscous so that a fertilized egg can implant them. During the following 12 weeks the placenta develops an independent organ that ensures the developing childs needs are supplied via the umbilical cord and that waste is removed. In its Little Chamber the fetus has its own survival system as soon as a fertilized egg is attached to the end dimitri of the heater speak instagram and grow and grow. Hormones like estrogen steer this growth to ensure the baby has enough space. By the end of a pregnancy the uterus is almost the size of 2 soccer balls 20 times larger than before pregnancy. The uterus is active to the very end during labor its muscles contract rhythmically to force the d. D. L. Through the vagina which shall functions as the birth canal. After birth the uterus begins shrinking again by about one centimeter a day blissful relaxation after 9 months of hard labor. A pregnancy is a very exciting time but sometimes a difficult time as well so.
