Research has discovered that a baby may cry if upset, be it silently, while in their mother’s womb. This crying behaviour will only occur during the later months of pregnancy.

A woman’s body following a miscarriage has experienced a major trauma, so it’s perfectly acceptable for the body to take some time to get back to normal. By irregular periods, it means heavier or lighter than average periods or skipped periods.

Mercury is a worrisome element when it comes to consuming fish and potential problems with pregnancy. However, a woman would need to consume an exorbitant amount of mercury for it to result in any damage to the foetus, which cannot be achieved through eating tuna fish alone. Though to be on the safer side, many women cut down on seafood for the duration of pregnancy because of the potential risks.

At 18 months, a baby should enjoy playing with toys, other children, and adults they are familiar with. They may mimic the actions of others, such as feeding baby dolls, rolling toy trucks on the floor, or flipping the pages of a book.

The placenta is responsible for working as a trading post between the mother’s and the baby’s blood supply. Small blood vessels carrying the fetal blood run through the placenta, which is full of maternal blood. Nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s blood are transferred to the fetal blood, while waste products are transferred from the fetal blood to the maternal blood, without the two blood supplies mixing.

Emergency contraceptive pills are often called 'morning after pills' and sometimes even 'day after pills' because you can use them after sex to prevent pregnancy.
