==Reproduction=='''Pregnancy''' is a term often used to refer to describes the physical state condition of many animal species (most notably humans) in which an individual is a mother carrying her unborn offspring. A woman becomes pregnant when a developing infant inside of its fertilized egg—a new human life—is implanted into her [[wombuterus]]. While female individuals of a species are typically thought of This is usually as being the only members of a species capable result of pregnancysexual intercourse, there are some cases however other scientific techniques such as [[In-vitro Fertilization|in which a male individual, vitro fertilization]] (IVF) are often used by couples who have trouble conceiving naturally. [[Liberals]] and not a female, is responsible for harboring particularly [[feminists]] promote [[abortion]]—often at the developing infants within his body. Additionally, the duration expense of taxpayers—rather than carrying a typical Pregnancy varies significantly between speciespregnancy to childbirth.
Pregnancy typically follows successful lasts approximately nine months, after which the baby, if born naturally, is born via the birth canal. Pregnancy in animals other than humans is referred to under the broader term of [[copulationgestation]] . In humans, the terms "gestation" and "pregnancy" are not exactly synonymous. Physicians and midwives generally use the former word when discussing it from the fetus' perspective (e.g., ''Hearing develops between the 15th and 20th week of '''gestation'''''), and the latter word when discussing it from the mother's perspective (e.g., ''Morning sickness generally subsides between the 15th and 20th week of '''pregnancy'''''). ==Timing== It can be difficult to determine the actual date of conception. This is because conception occurs within a male short time of ovulation, and women often cannot determine the exact day of ovulation. For this reason, when determining how far along a female individual woman is in pregnancy, doctors use the first day of the same specieslast normal menstrual period to date the beginning of the pregnancy. From that point, though modern medicine has made available alternate means a standard pregnancy is considered to be forty weeks. ==Stages of inducing Pregnancy== ===Implantation=== Pregnancy begins with the implantation of the conceptus into the wall of the uterus. This contains the cells that will develop into the baby as well as those which will go on to form the placenta and membranes. ===Embryonic Stage=== The embryonic stage consists largely of the differentiation of cells into the tissues of the body. It is divided up into 23 carnegie stages which represent different stages of development. ===Fetal Stage=== The fetal stage mainly consists of the growth of the unborn child and continued development of internal systems. ==Complications== Many complications can arise during pregnancy, endangering both the child and the mother. Following Two of the most common are ectopic pregnancyand pre-eclampsia. An ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo implants elsewhere than the uterus, such as in the Fallopian tube or the abdomen. This is an infant individual extremely dangerous condition which results in a non-viable embryo and a high risk of internal bleeding for the same species as mother without intervention. Pre-eclampsia is a condition where the male mother experiences severe [[hypertension]] and female possibly [[Parentkidney|renal]] individual is expelled from failure. This can greatly endanger the womb mother and can only be resolved by either delivery of the baby or termination of the pregnancy, depending on the gestational age of the fetus and condition of the pregnant individualmother. In some cases, multiple individuals The treatment of pre-eclampsia can be produced and expelled from a single pregnancyvery difficult ethical and moral decision.
