Pregnancy is something that you as a woman should anticipate especially when you reach the reproductive age. How do you know when you reach the reproductive age? Some women start ovulating at age 10 or even earlier. This means that the woman’s body releases eggs which may become fertilized upon contact with the male sperm. However, girls at the age of 10 are still biologically too young to have babies.

When you are pregnant, your body begins to produce the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is produced by the placenta during pregnancy, and is the hormone that a home pregnancy test detects. Your body begins to produce HCG about six days after an egg is fertilized and after the embryo implants in the uterus. Levels of HCG increase rapidly in a pregnant woman’s body and are detectable in urine. By the time you think you may be pregnant (usually after you miss your period), HCG levels are high enough that a home pregnancy test will detect them.

A pregnancy actually begins long before you ever realize that something is happening to your body; when the egg meets the sperm and the result is fertilization. By the time that you miss a period and take a pregnancy test or head to the doctor, you are already well into the developments that can occur during a full pregnancy term. In fact, throughout the first eight weeks of early pregnancy, your baby will grow to an inch in length and has developed most of his major body organs. This time of early pregnancy, also known as the embryonic stage, is a critical point of your baby’s growth, which can be negatively affected by alcohol use, radiation exposure and infectious diseases. That is why it is a good idea to use caution when you are trying to get pregnant, so that the early pregnancy stage can be as safe for your unborn baby as possible.
