Conception

Things to remember

• After the fertilization the fertilized ovum continues its journey down the tube towards the uterus which takes about a week. It then becomes embedded in the wall of the uterus, which gives rise to the formation of an entirely new complete human being, and it is called the conception.
• The period after the conception to the birth of the baby is known as pregnancy period.
• When the baby begins to press to come out up to the discharge of the cord and placenta is known as labour period.
