The first trimester is the first week of pregnancy to the 13th weekend, in the first trimester, the pregnant woman's body will have a stronger response.
Nowadays, life is very convenient everywhere, even if you want to know if you are pregnant, you don't have to run to the hospital first, and you can measure it with a pregnancy test stick at home.
Most pregnancy test sticks show two bars or "crosses", which means that you are pregnant. Some people are very happy about this result, but it is also a kind of annoyance for some people.
Don't look at the simple test of pregnancy today, when there was no pregnancy test stick in ancient times, women in various countries wanted to know whether they were pregnant or not, and I used all kinds of strange methods.
In ancient times, there was no pregnancy test stick, how could women tell if they were pregnant?
From ancient times to the present, people are very important to the conception of life, and they all want to determine whether to get pregnant as soon as possible, so smart people have come up with various methods, which look a bit outrageous, but also have a certain accuracy rate.
The way ancient Greek women judged pregnancy
Among the many ways to test pregnancy, the experience of ancient Greek women is somewhat outrageous. At that time, medical scientists believed that there was a communication channel between the female birth canal and the oral cavity.
So they would put garlic and green onions and other flavorful items in women's intimate areas, wait overnight, and test whether women had breath the next morning.
If you are pregnant, the pipe will be "blocked", then there is no bad smell in the woman's mouth, and if the woman wakes up with a taste in her mouth, it proves that she is not pregnant.
The way ancient Egyptian women judged pregnancy
Compared to the experience of ancient Greek women, ancient Egyptian women were less guilty. And their approach was later confirmed, with an accuracy of about 70 percent.
Women's urine is sprinkled on barley and wheat. If the wheat sprouts, it means that she may be pregnant with a girl. Conversely, barley malt may be pregnant with a boy. Neither bag of wheat sprouted, just not pregnant.
This was later confirmed because in 1963, biologists conducted experiments and found that it was possible that hormonal changes in the body of women after pregnancy caused the wheat to germinate faster.
However, because these methods are relatively backward and the accuracy rate is not very high, there are often misjudgments. In the end, it is through the woman's early pregnancy reaction, and even after the belly becomes larger, it is determined whether to be pregnant.
Compared with the previous two ways, women in ancient China are obviously much happier, because the way we judge pregnancy looks magical but very reliable.
Women in ancient China wanted to know they were pregnant and didn't have to bother
We often see in some costume dramas that if the doctor or Langzhong gives a woman a pulse, you can feel the happy pulse, that is, the pulse of pregnancy.
This is not a film and television drama effect, but a real medical technique. Experienced Lang Zhong can also judge the fetal development from the woman's pulse. This way of touching the happy pulse can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Therefore, women in ancient China, who wanted to test whether they were pregnant, only needed to sit or lie down and stretch out their hands to complete the general judgment.
The process is not troublesome, there will be no additional harm to the body, and after watching it, I feel that Chinese women are very happy.
However, the wisdom of the ancients is not as simple as everyone thinks, and the way to touch the happy pulse has been passed down to the present day is of great use, but inexperienced people cannot feel it themselves.
However, the persistence of some medical practitioners on urine has instead derived the way of pregnancy testing sticks.
In fact, if you want to know whether you are pregnant, women can also judge through physical changes. Some of the body's hormones change after pregnancy, causing the body to behave differently.
Women who are "pregnant" will have these changes in their bodies and will be seated on the right number
Menopause, nausea, and enlarged stomach are just very obvious manifestations of pregnancy, and in addition to these physical changes, there are also some different feelings than usual, which may also be a sign of pregnancy.
The taste suddenly changes, but it is not hungry
Not all women will have a pregnancy reaction after pregnancy, but changes in taste and smell can cause her taste to change as well.
It is not necessarily like to eat spicy or sour, it may be to fall in love with the taste that was particularly annoying before, and it is particularly uncomfortable not to eat a certain taste. It may also be that you start to hate your favorite taste.
The mental state is very different from usual
If a woman at a certain stage feels that she suddenly becomes particularly sleepy, or more energetic than before, plus she has recently had intercourse, it may be a sign of pregnancy.
Finally, it suddenly becomes afraid of cold or heat
When Sugar Mom was pregnant with small candy, her body did not react at all, but she was very afraid of the cold, and I remember that it was summer, and I turned over the quilts at home, and I didn't feel hot when I covered my body.
At first, I thought I was a precursor to a cold, but when I went to buy medicine, the doctor suspected that I was pregnant, which revealed the mystery.
I don't know if I am pregnant, so I should be cautious about physical changes
Sugar Mom has seen too many women confused and does not know that she is pregnant. The result was either nailwork, cold medicine and stomach medicine, and finally wondered if the baby could stay.
Women who are trying to conceive can frequently use pregnancy tests, and women who are not preparing for pregnancy should also consider whether it is a signal of pregnancy.
The embryo is not yet fully formed in the first trimester, but this stage is crucial for the future health of the baby. Nowadays, the way to test pregnancy is very convenient, it is easy to find out that you are pregnant.
If you do not plan to have a baby, you must usually do a good job of contraception, so as not to accidentally arrive and not stay. It hurts both sad and physically, and makes innocent lives disappear.
If you have the intention of having a baby, you should be more cautious about physical changes. Maintain a good routine, eating habits and living habits in normal times, so that even if the baby does not arrive in the plan, he can stay with peace of mind.
Candy Mother's Heart:
