First Trimester

Within two weeks of fertilization, a blood test can confirm that you are pregnant. Congratulations!

In this, your first trimester, your body is very busy not only preparing itself for the rest of your pregnancy, but also growing your baby's organs. Stem Cells begin to specialize into other cells creating your baby's pancreas, liver, brain, heart, etc. You are able to see and feel signs of this throughout these three months. In your first month, you will notice that your breasts are swollen and sensitive, then, you will find that your areola and nipples are darker and the prominent veins on your breasts are more visible. By your second month, you may be experiencing the nausea commonly referred to as morning sickness. And you may be spending even more time in the bathroom: your rising HCG and progesterone levels inspire much more frequent urination. Progesterone can also be credited with your fatigue, which is intensified by your now speedy metabolism. By week 12, your placenta has taken charge of hormone production and will now be directing your body to do all the right things to prepare for, and provide for, your baby over the next two trimesters.

By the end of this trimester, your baby will weigh approximately one ounce, and will be about three inches long. Your baby has all the major organs, a head, mouth, eyes, hands and the beginnings of limbs, fingernails, teeth and even vocal cords - all the better to scream and cry with a few months down the road. Can you imagine that? Your own howling baby? It will make all the morning sickness and breast tenderness so worthwhile!


Second Trimester

You are digesting solid food on a regular basis, which is a welcome development, and you have a lot more energy now. Your body has shifted its focus from growing your baby's organs to growing you! You will gain the majority of your weight in this trimester, and your collection of symptoms may increase. You also may notice skin changes, forgetfulness, swelling, clumsiness, backaches, nosebleeds, Braxton-Hicks contractions, or any number of minor inconveniences, aches, and sensations. You may start noticing a fluttering sensation: your baby at play inside you! He or she will be somersaulting around in your amniotic fluid, reacting to touch and loud noises.

Your baby is able now to react to the outside world, thanks to ears that can overhear and eyes complete with brows and lashes that can see everything within eight inches. Your baby can do so much now! Hiccups are an option. So is thumb-sucking. Their hands and feet are fully formed, nails and all. And their brain tissue is bulking up quite nicely, as is their head of hair, (if there's any there)... By the end of this trimester, your baby will weigh approximately three pounds, and should be about 11 inches in length. They've been growing as quickly as you have!

Third Trimester

While your weight gain is slowing, your baby's is still at full throttle. But your baby isn't moving around much anymore. Other than positioning themselves for birth, they're not going to do too much moving around towards the end of this trimester. What they will be doing is shedding (and eating some of) the lanugo and vernix that have been blanketing them, while their lungs and brain are racing toward maturity. Their immune system is still immature, though. Your placenta, and later your breast milk, provide needed antibodies. Your baby's sight has improved: they can now track movement and differentiate between light and dark. Thanks to this development, they're now on a regular sleep cycle. Don't count on that lasting too long after birth. You are at your most voluptuous.

Though you are not gaining much more weight, your bra size is through the roof. Your baby's size is impressive as well, and that is making it tough to sleep and unwise to stay too far from the bathroom. Those trips to the bathroom may now involve waddling. Relaxin, one of those hormones running rampant through your system, softens your hip joints, and your belly has begun throwing your posture into a swayback curve, which, if unchecked, will intensify your backaches. The aching and waddling will end soon enough, though. Labor generally occurs naturally before week 42. Ideally, it lasts for between 11 and 15 hours.

By your due date, your baby will, if average, weigh about seven and a half pounds, measure about twenty inches from head to toe, and be the most beautiful little person you will ever meet.

INCOMING BABY

heh..terkejut? aku lagik terkejut.. anyway my wife dah nak masuk second trimester. hurm rupanya dalam diam berisi. :D
You have 186 days until Saturday, October 28, 2006. jangkaan laa sebab dah buat scan.

now baru amik tahu apa tu morning sickness..cian kat wife aku ari2 muntah..apa boleh buat..jumpa dokter dia cakap sakit buatan org mcm nih tader ubat..hahaha tergelak aku bila dengar 1st time dokter cakap mcm tu.

erm maleh nak taip pepanjang just for my info and ur info...

First Month

Though your baby looks like a tadpole, isn't even an inch long, and weighs less than an ounce, he or she is already filling your thoughts and transforming your body. You no longer have your period, but you have lots of hormones running through your system, making sure that you're fully equipped for growing your baby. Your hormones have already succeeded in swelling your breasts, and you might find them a little tender.

In the meantime, your fertilized egg has completed the week long journey to your uterus, settled into your endometrial lining, and divided in two. One half is the embryo you are falling in love with, and the other is becoming the placenta. The embryo has developed a head and mouth, eyes, buds that will become arms and legs, the beginning of lungs and a digestive tract, and a heart that will begin to beat at the end of this month. And the neural tube, which will become your baby's brain and spinal cord, has already begun to form. That's quite a list of accomplishments your little one has racked up!



Second Month

Now that you're in the second month of your pregnancy, you may find yourself a little more tired, a little more nauseous, and a lot hungrier for weird combinations of food. Your breasts are still sore and your nipples and areola have darkened, but you're probably more focused on your stomach. It's emptying itself regularly, thanks to estrogen inspired morning sickness and your bladder's more and more frequent demands. You're probably filling right back up though, thanks to the cravings that may have already set in.

Meanwhile, that other occupant of your lower torso, your baby, is still an embryo. He or she hasn't grown much bigger, but now has little stumps for ears, wrists, ankles, fingers, and toes. All of your baby's major organs are present and accounted for, though none of them are fully developed. And your placenta is ready to do business with your blood, exchanging your baby's waste products for the food and oxygen running through your veins. You and your baby are all set up and ready to grow together through the coming months.



Third Month

Your baby is now officially a fetus! And you're probably moody, irritable, tired, light-headed, dizzy, nauseous, and headachy. And beginning to feel fat. Take comfort in this news: by the end of this month, your morning sickness should subside, and your baby is already beginning to look like a real person! By the end of this month, your baby will be four inches long and will weigh a little more than an ounce. Your baby is now officially either a he or a she, and he or she has eyes, a chin, bits of teeth, a nose, and a forehead. Their fingers and toes are almost fully formed. They're moving around already, though you don't feel it yet, and it won't be long now before you're moving around a lot more, too. You will soon get your energy back, and you will be feeling generally much better. Forming all your baby's organs has taken a lot out of you these last several weeks. Congratulations on a job well done!

NARUTO



Naruto's Fighting Style



Uzumaki Naruto is a name all fans of the anime series recognize. Besides his publicity, this young rookie Genin of the Hidden leaf village also has many ways of fighting. He is basically an overall good shinobi, but he mostly uses ninJutsu and taiJutsu. Many people mock him because he looks weak, but Naruto's true power is his potential and willpower. He is so dedicated to becoming a Hokage; he will overcome anything on his way in any possible manner. He never gives up, and although he cannot yet surface his true powers, he trains hard. Now, one reason that Naruto cannot fight as well as other ninja is because he doesn't know himself. His biggest problem is controlling his chakra, which is what we explain in the following lines.
