Nutritionally, pregnant women require a caloric increase of 350 kcal/day and an increase in protein to 70 or 75 g/day. [citation needed] There is also an increased folate requirement from 0.4 to 0.8 mg/day (important in preventing neural tube defects). On average, a weight gain of 20 to 30 lb (9.1 to 13.6 kg) is experienced. [citation needed]
The embryo becomes embedded in the endometrium in a process called implantation. In most successful pregnancies, the embryo implants 8 to 10 days after ovulation. [7] The embryo, the extra-embryonic membranes, and the placenta are collectively referred to as a conceptus, or the "products of conception".
The blastocyst is fully implanted day 7–12 of fertilization. [1] Formation of the yolk sac. The embryonic cells flatten into a disk, two cells thick. If separation into identical twins occurs, 2/3 of the time it will happen between days 5 and 9. If it happens after day 9, there is a significant risk of the twins being conjoined.
If there is embryo transfer of more than 4 embryos, the risk has been quoted as 1 in 45. [10] In natural conceptions, the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy has been estimated to be 1 in 30,000 pregnancies. [10] However, due to the increasing use of assisted reproduction technology, the overall incidence is 1 in 3900 pregnancies. [11]
Repeated implantation failure (RIF) is the repeated failure of the embryo to implant onto the side of the uterus wall following IVF treatment. [1] Implantation happens at 6–7 days after conception and involves the embedding of the growing embryo into the mothers uterus and a connection being formed. [2]
Black women are more than three times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related causes and five times more likely to die from postpartum cardiomyopathy, a possible symptom of ...
An extremely rare complication, it affects 1 in every 40,000 deliveries, and occurs during delivery or shortly after giving birth, when amniotic fluid enters a mother's bloodstream just before ...
They appear between day 19 and day 21 of gestational age, and are fully formed at day 20. [41] This corresponds to a fertilization age of approximately five to seven days, which corresponds well with the time of implantation. Pinopodes only persist for a maximum of two days, and are seen as the ultrastructural markers of receptivity. [46]
