Antykoncepcja naturalna
Czy istnieje coś takiego, jak naturalna antykoncepcja? Jeśli przyjmiemy, że antykoncepcją nazwiemy powstrzymywanie się od współżycia w czasie płodnych dni – to takie nazwanie rzeczy miałoby sens. Jednak, z pewnymi zastrzeżeniami. Dlaczego?
Antykoncepcja to pewne działanie. Jest to podejmowanie takich kroków i takich działań, które pozwolą na uniknięcie ciąży. Czy jednak brak działania jest także działaniem? Jeśli tak, to antykoncepcją można nazwać wystrzeganie się współżycia ...
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the carrying of one or more embryos or fetuses by female mammals, including humans, inside their bodies.
In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations (for example, in the case of twins, or triplets). Human pregnancy is the most studied of all mammalian pregnancies. Human pregnancy lasts approximately 9 months between the time of the last menstrual cycle and childbirth (38 weeks from fertilisation). The medical term for a pregnant woman is genetalian, just as the medical term for the potential baby is embryo (early weeks) and then fetus (until birth). A woman who is pregnant for the first time is known as a primigravida or gravida 1: a woman who has never been pregnant is known as a gravida 0; similarly, the terms para 0, para 1 and so on are used for the number of times a woman has given birth. In many societies' medical and legal definitions, human pregnancy is somewhat arbitrarily divided into three trimester periods, as a means to simplify reference to the different stages of fetal development. The first trimester period carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus). During the second trimester the development of the fetus can start to be monitored and diagnosed. The third trimester marks the beginning of viability, which means the fetus might survive if an early birth occurs.
