LABOUR

Labour is the last stage of pregnancy, in which the baby is gradually pushed out of the uterus by the mother.

Labour is divided into 3 stages – the dilation of the cervix, the birth of the baby and the birth of the placenta.

Contractions are an important part of labour. A contraction is when the muscles of your uterus tighten up like a fist and then relax. Contractions help push your baby out.

SEXUAL IDENTITY DIVERSITY

Sexual identity is known as the recognition that an individual has of belonging to a sex, which in turn indicates his or her conformity or nonconformity with it and allows him or her to determine his or her identification. We can mainly distinguish two types: cisgender and transgender.

Sexual orientation refers to one's self-perception in terms of romantic or sexual attraction towards others. Some examples are heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality.

Gender expression is how a person publicly presents their gender. This can include behaviour and outward appearance such as dress, hair, make-up, body language and voice. A person's chosen name and pronoun are also common ways of expressing gender.

C-section

A C-section is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby when a vaginal delivery can't be done safely. A c-section can be planned ahead of time or performed in an emergency. It carries more risk than a vaginal delivery, with a slightly longer recovery period.

Interesting facts

Some interesting facts about pregnancy are:

• The blood volume increases by 40-50%
• The sense of smell may change
• The heart grows
• The baby tastes the food the mum eats
• Babies try to cry in the uterus

Stages of labour

1st stage

The first stage of labour involves the thinning of the cervix and its dilation to around 10 cm.

2nd stage

The second stage of labour is from when your cervix is fully dilated to the time your baby is born.

3rd stage

After the birth of your baby your uterus gently contracts to loosen and push out the placenta, although you may not be able to feel these contractions. This may occur 5 to 30 minutes after the birth of your baby.

Respect for sexual diversity

Respect for sexual diversity exists when all people can openly and visibly identify their sexual orientation and gender identity with complete safety and freedom.

The placenta

The placenta is a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy. It attaches to the lining of your uterus and delivers oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby through the umbilical cord.

Placenta

What is it?

The placenta is a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy.

What do we use it for?

The placenta is used for providing oxygen and nutrients to a growing baby. It also removes waste products from the baby's blood.

Stages of pregnancy

1st stage

During the first trimester of pregnancy, the body grows and changes rapidly. The fetus is growing and developing, too. In fact, by the end of the first trimester, the fetus is the size of a lemon.

2nd stage

During the second trimester of pregnancy, the fetus has now developed all its organs and systems and will now begin to grow in length and weight.

3rd stage

During the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetus continues to grow in weight and size, and the body systems finish maturing.

Care during pregnancy

Among the many aspects to be taken into consideration, we can highlight:

1. Attend prenatal appointments and exams 2. Attend ultrasounds 3. Do not carry weight. 4. Do exercise. 5. Take care of your back.

What is pregnancy?

Pregnancy is the period in which an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm to form a new cell that eventually develops into a new human organism, to be born.
