Maternity & Kid's Care
"Maternity is a matter of fact, paternity is a matter of opinion."
Fertilization or conception occurs when a sperm from the male pierces the cell wall of an ovum or egg from the female. Once the ovum is fertilized, it begins to grow. At first the fertilized ovum which is also called zygote consists of only one cell. After a few hours, the zygote divides into new cells. Each of these two new cells also divides. This kind of multiplication goes on. The entire pre natal period consists of three sub periods. They are period of ovum, the period of embryo and the period of foetus.
The first two weeks from the time of conception, until the zygote is attached within the uterus is the period of ovum. Conception occurs in the fallopian tubes and the zygote travels down to the uterus. It starts dividing and multiplying in the beginning of this period. by the time it reaches the uterus, it is about the size of a pin head. It develops very small tendrils and with the help of these tendrils, the ovum will attach itself to the uterine wall. The specific process of attachment of the ovum to the uterine wall is called implantation. Implantation occurs approximately around ten days after fertilization.
