The wonders of nature that enable the creation of life, what happens in a woman's body during pregnancy?

From the moment of transfers until delivery, the pregnant woman's body undergoes many changes.

Pregnancy is a miracle; it is a wonderful magic that happens by itself inside the woman's body. There is a divine intelligence that is based on love that creates life inside the woman's body.

If so, what are the significant changes that occur in the woman's body?

Increasing the volume of blood and plasma, already from the first weeks the body begins to increase the production of blood cells and at the end of pregnancy the blood volume increases by 5-30 percent.

This phenomenon enables the growth and development of the fetus, the heart works more and with high efficiency and thus ensures nourishment for the fetus growing in the womb.

The wonders of the relaxin hormone, the relaxin hormone is secreted more during pregnancy and relaxes the pelvic muscles and the ligaments connecting the pelvic bones.

This phenomenon can cause instability in the pelvis and even in some cases pain in the joint connecting the pubis bones. However, this phenomenon is of great importance as it allows the pelvis to open during birth and thus the baby's head to pass more easily through the canal.

During pregnancy the uterus grows 10 times its original size

The uterus is a muscular organ in the shape of a pear, it is the home of the fetus throughout the course of pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the uterus makes room for it and grows along with it.

The length of the uterus, not during pregnancy, is 8 centimeters and its width is about 4.5 centimeters, the thickness of the uterine muscle is 3.5 centimeters and its weight is about 60 grams. During pregnancy, the uterus can grow up to ten times and at its peak its weight will reach a kilo and its volume up to 5 liters.  

Perhaps the most amazing phenomenon that happens during pregnancy, is that during pregnancy the body produces a new organ, dedicated to the life creation process that takes place in the body. 

This organ is called the placenta, the placenta has the shape of an umbrella and protects the fetus in all kinds of ways, it serves as its immune system, its lungs, and its kidneys. It separates the blood from the mother's blood and the blood of the fetus and provides the fetus with the nourishment it needs to grow and develop perfectly.

The ancient Chinese custom of eating the placenta after birth is back - and gaining momentum. In China it is reported that 10% of couples ask to take the placenta home, and websites are flooded with recipes for soup, meatballs and even placenta pizza. The benefits according to the Chinese: warding off diseases, preventing depression and improving breast milk.
