Understanding the manifestations of an embryo will help pregnant mothers take more initiative in taking care of themselves, as well as plan to have a safe pregnancy for your baby.
The embryo usually appears at what week? Signs when embryo is like? are issues that are concerned by many women, especially first-time mothers. Because in fact, there are a number of cases in which the first ultrasound early in pregnancy results in no embryo. This makes them unable to help worry about their development. Let's find out right now, mom!
The embryo appeared in what week?
After a successful conception, sperm will meet the egg and create a set of 46 chromosomes called zygote. A fertilized egg called a mulberry embryo continues to move toward the uterus through the fallopian tubes. There, the mulberry embryo divides into cells.
Mulberry embryos develop into blastocysts and attach to the lining of the uterus. This is done on the 9th or 10th day after conception. Then the cells of the blastocyst develop, partly forming an embryo sac, partly forming the placenta.
Next, some of the cells from the placenta will develop into an outer layer of cells called a chorion that surrounds the sac . At the same time, other cells develop into an inner layer called the amniotic membrane, in which the amniotic sac forms.
The amniotic sac is filled with amniotic fluid - a clear liquid that coats and nourishes the developing embryo. About 10 - 12 days, the embryo sac is formed and considered a complete embryo by about 5 weeks of age.
Thus, the embryo appears about 5 weeks after successful conception. Therefore, the mother does not need to worry too much if the doctor concludes that there are no embryos during the transducer ultrasound. The mother can go back to the ultrasound after 1-2 weeks or as directed by the doctor to monitor the development of the fetus.
Symptoms when embryo
The embryo formation and attachment to the uterus is an important determinant of whether you are pregnant or not. Here are some common signs in pregnant women when they have an embryo:
Increased body temperature
In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the increased impact of hormones, especially Progesterone (a hormone that helps the fetus develop), the mother's temperature will increase by about 0.3 to 0.5 degrees C. Time During this time, mothers should stay in well-ventilated, air-conditioned, drink plenty of water so that the body temperature is stable and most comfortable.
Chest swelling, tightness
After the egg is fertilized and implanted in the uterus, the pregnancy hormone of the mother will increase, stimulating the mammary glands to develop and dilate to prepare for later lactation. Accordingly, the mother will feel the breasts tighten. This sign will gradually decrease and go away in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Usually the pain is only mild, and mothers can tolerate it without medication.
Vaginal bleeding
During the implantation process, the mulberry embryo will be transplanted into the mother's uterine lining causing bleeding. Due to the low amount of blood, under the impact of uterine contraction will expel blood from the uterus into the vagina. Then the red blood becomes pale pink or brown blood, mixed with fluid in the cervix and vaginal fluids.
Lower abdominal cramps
This is a manifestation of embryo is quite common. Pregnant mothers will feel discomfort in the lower back and abdomen for a few days like menstrual cramps. However, if the pain lasts longer, you need to see a doctor to find out the cause and treat it promptly.
Urinate more often
Mothers will feel the need to urinate increases within 1 week. This is most likely a sign that the embryo has formed and successfully attached to the uterus. At this time, the mother's body will undergo many changes to make room for the baby, such as increased blood supply to the pelvic area, putting pressure on the bladder causing the mother to feel like going to the toilet. more often.
Cervical mucus
Progesterone levels increase after the fetus attaches, causing the cervix to swell, and increase blood flow to this area. In addition, the cervical glands enlarge and the hormone stimulates the glands to produce more mucus.
Food cravings or not wanting to eat
Hormones and body production during this period tend to alter a woman's eating preferences and tastes. Accordingly, you may crave foods that you have never even tasted before, or dislike foods that are already very popular.
Through the above sharing, it is hoped that the mother has grasped the manifestations of the embryo along with the time when the embryo began to appear, thereby getting the most thoughtful preparation for the journey to welcome the baby. hardship ahead. Wish pregnant mothers have a safe and healthy pregnancy!
