Here are 10 pregnancy truths nobody tells you about – bigger breasts, bigger feet, sensitive sense of smell, or what happens during your first ultrasound, etc.
A baby’s gender is determined by the sperm on day one. If the sperm is carrying an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl. If the sperm is carrying a Y chromosome, the baby will be a boy. With a normal pregnancy, the genital parts of the baby become visible by ultrasound after 14 weeks of pregnancy.
When do I get to hear my baby’s heartbeats?” This question echoes in the minds of expectant mothers everywhere. The anticipation, the excitement, and the connection to new life – it all begins with that rhythmic sound.
Ancient Chinese, Indians, Romans and Greek were all using scented plants for well being. Today, many scientific studies proved that smelling the right aromas can soothe emotions, ease tensions, boost happiness and promote relaxation. When certain scents travel from nose to brain, release of endorphins and serotonin – happiness hormones – get stimulated.
