Growing a human inside your belly can be overwhelming especially if it's your first time although most of the women i have encountered seems to fear giving birth,at the same time it can be hectic if the pregnancy was unexpected maybe the m.r man got through the condom to enjoy with uncovered banana,or maybe you might be scared that you are not there enough to bring up a human.Enough of that,here are 15 facts about pregnancy that will get you surprise you.

1.. It takes a sperm 24 hours to fertilize an egg.Pretty amazing right,so     you  might consider seeing your doctor before time lapses in cases like rape.

2.Baby boy or baby girl?.Knowing your baby's gender to me is more than amazing and in  some cases you can decide your baby's gender through proven methods which in others cases might not work.This is what happens,a woman egg carries x chromosomes while a sperm carries y or x chromosomes,if the y chromosomes from the sperm makes it through to the egg,the gender is male and vise versa.

3.At about 4 months of your pregnancy,the baby urinates about one litre.This is crazy,this makes a pregnant woman pee a lot.

4.3 pregnant women out of 4 develop a black vertical line(linea nigra) that runs down the abdomen.In some cases the line might disappear after pregnancy but to some it doesn't.

5. Being tall can result to you carrying multiple babies.This is one of the genetic factors that have been proven to contribute to twins apart from having a family member who has/had twins or being at the age of 35 and above.So gain some height if you love twins.

6.Your skin stretches up to  18.5 square feet,this is around 1.5 square more of a normal skin stretch which is probably caused by the growing of your belly.

7.A pregnant woman tends to get muscles.Yes muscles,What do u think is needed to support the weight of the baby and all the fluids involved.Don't run if you see yourself developing muscles,it's normal.

8.It has also been discovered that babies cry while in there but you can't here them due to the fluids surrounding him/her.This is helpful because a lot of women can't withstand their babies crying and there is nothing much they can do than eating a bunch of stones.

9.Did you know that babies do a lot of things when in there?.If you didn't,they do quite a lot of stuffs like sucking their thumbs,smiling for no reason,kicking their moms if they are hungry and a lot more.

10.Pregnant women don"t have a lot oxygen circulation in their bodies and this leads to forgetfulness.Understand your mom when she asks for a spoon while holding it in her hand and pointing at you with it.Just bear with her for the 9 months.

11.pregnancy triggers a heightened sense of smell.Some women believe that is to prevent them from inhaling something that might be harmful to the baby.Some even say "my baby is not happy with those bananas".Well it's women and pregnancies.

12.Your boobs gets bigger.This is caused by oestrogen  hormones to prepare them for lactation.I know most of the women don"t get along well with those "large" boobs but it gets to normal after giving birth.

13.Swelling of the feet.This is mostly caused by the weight and extra fluids in the body.The feet can grow even to an extra shoe size and watch out to weight gain.

14.Baby girls develop reproductive eggs while still in the womb but baby boys don't,in fact boys develop reproductive sperms at puberty.I wonder why boys take soo long but it's the fact.

15.last but not least babies have fingerprints by 9-12 months.
