What is Ovulation and the symptoms of it?

Ovulation is a natural process in a woman's menstrual cycle when an egg is released from the ovary and is made available for fertilization by sperm. It usually occurs midway through the menstrual cycle, which is typically around day 14 for a woman with a 28-day cycle (though it can vary depending on individual cycles).

During ovulation, a matured egg is released from one of the ovaries and travels down the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by sperm if sexual intercourse takes place. If the egg is not fertilized, it disintegrates, and the menstrual cycle continues as the uterus sheds its lining, leading to menstruation.

Symptoms of Ovulation:

Changes in cervical mucus: As ovulation approaches, the cervical mucus becomes thinner, clearer, and more slippery. This promotes sperm motility and facilitates their journey to the egg.

Ovulation pain (Mittelschmerz): Some women experience mild abdominal pain or cramping on one side during ovulation. This pain is called Mittelschmerz and can last for a few minutes to a few hours.

Basal body temperature (BBT) rise: After ovulation, a woman's basal body temperature increases slightly due to the hormone progesterone. Charting BBT can help track ovulation.

Breast tenderness: Some women may experience breast tenderness or sensitivity during ovulation due to hormonal changes.

Increased libido: Some women report an increase in sexual desire around the time of ovulation, which may be linked to hormonal fluctuations.

Abdominal bloating: Some women may feel bloated or experience mild abdominal discomfort during ovulation.

Positive ovulation predictor kit (OPK) result: Ovulation predictor kits detect luteinizing hormone (LH) surges, which typically occur 24-36 hours before ovulation. A positive OPK indicates that ovulation is likely to occur soon.

It is important to note that not all women experience obvious symptoms of ovulation, and some may have subtle or no noticeable signs at all. Additionally, if you are trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy, tracking your menstrual cycle and observing these ovulation symptoms can be helpful in identifying your fertile window. If you have concerns about your menstrual cycle or fertility, it is best to consult with a Gynaec. Read: Ovulation Symptoms: Recognizing the Signs

There are always 2 sides to everything. Since women who vbac get bombarded with the forever uterine rupture stats (usually wrong ones too 🤔) Here some counter stats that we aren't told that relate to c-sections #informedbirth #informedchoices #cesareanbirth #csection #educateyourself #birth https://www.instagram.com/p/COvs18zgQhb/?igshid=1e7z8ys3qr1q3

I am sharing my birthing experience video again in honor of Cesarean Awareness Month (link in bio for YouTube and go to pregnancy playlist). My experience was interesting because I was able to experience the midwife experience and also how it is to be at the hospital. Although my birthing plan did not go as planned, it was a transformative experience. I allowed myself to experience the different range of emotions for a year before I really shared my experience. No one really talks about how this impacts women on a emotional and spiritual level so I am glad more people are speaking out about it. I remember being angry for a while however I knew that there was a beautiful lesson to take away from it. It brought me back to the relationship with my womb. Also having my daughter in NICU (due to jaundice) was a stressful experience as a first time mom. It does not matter if parent has a child a NICU for 9 days (like me) or nine months, I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone, we all experience the same range of emotions. However I am blessed to have a beautiful healthy daughter who let me know early on that I cannot control everything. I learned the importance of surrender. Queen Afua's Sacred Women Book really supported me in grounding myself to this new experience. She also had Cesareans with her children and now she has a legacy with encouraging women to connect to and honor their wombs. I am grateful. #cesareanawarenessmonth #cesareanbirth #cesareanbirthisbirth #csection #csectionmama #childbirth #cesareansection https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXk71pJHHg/?igshid=1u6plduvm0fw9

'On July 17, 1951, twenty days shy of her fourtieth birthday, Lucille at last gave birth to a healthy child. On wakening from stitches and corseted in bandages, she, whom had been told to expect a boy, learned she had a daughter. "Susan, I want to see Susan!" she said, as that was the name she and Desi had picked for a girl. The nurse said, "You mean Lucie." "I'm Lucy," Lucille said, and then learned that Desi had already written the name on the birth certificate, probably as a surprise to his wife.' —Kathleen Brady, The Life of Lucille Ball. #lucilleball #luciearnaz #happybirthday #surprise 'On July 17, 1951, twenty days shy of her fourtieth birthday, Lucille at last gave birth to a healthy child.

Way to go, @ebbirth!! . . . . From @birthmonopoly: It’s heeere! I stopped by Rebecca Dekker’s today and saw the new State of Maternity Care poster in real life. This chart has always been one of my favorite resources to show people how much improvement needs to be made in maternity care. And the stories behind these numbers are critical to understanding the hows and whys! Anyway, if you work in a hospital, and/or are a doula, educator, or birth worker, this is a fabulous resource for clients and colleagues!!

What is the difference between normal childbirth and Cesarean childbirth Normal childbirth, also known as vaginal birth, is a process where the baby is delivered through the birth canal. It typically occurs when the baby is positioned head-down. During normal childbirth, contractions help to push the baby out, and the mother may actively participate by pushing.

Cesarean childbirth, commonly referred to as a C-section, involves a surgical procedure to deliver the baby through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This method is typically used when vaginal birth poses risks to the mother or baby. C-sections may be planned or performed as an emergency procedure. Recovery from a C-section generally takes longer than from a vaginal birth, and there may be certain restrictions on activities during the healing process. contact Best IVF Centre in India |Aurawomen

As a midwife, I trust and believe in the physiological nature of labor and birth...but sometimes things don’t go according to plan. I know that C-section birth IS birth, but I enjoy vaginal birth A LOT. I feel like I let my patient down when we can’t make it to the vaginal birth we both anticipated. My last call had a lot of C-sections and it leaves me wondering: what could I have done differently for her? * * * #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #obgyn #birth #childbirth #midwives #laboranddelivery #csection #cesareanbirth #csectionmom #cesarean

Reposted from @homesweethomebirth - Words and video from @badassmotherbirther : "✲ Side to side comparison of 2 different babies, born via cesarean, both in breech presentation, but assisted by 2 different providers. ✲ The baby on the left is being received gently and lovingly with involvement of the mother. ✲ The baby on the right is being removed from the womb, nothing else. ✲ The act of a cesarean birth should not mean that the baby and mother lose dignity, compassion and intimacy. ✲ The baby is still feeling it’s first contact with the outside world. ✲ The baby is still being born. ✲ The mother is still being born. ✲ These first contacts with another human, good or bad, has an emotional and physical impact on the baby and family unit. ✲ It sets up a blueprint. ✲ How will your provider assist you and your baby in the event of a cesarean birth? ✲ FoundOn: @cinthiapomaski_doula ProviderOnTheLeft: @fertilugo" If you need to have a #CesareanBirth and there is no emergency - it can be gentle, peaceful and calm, allowing baby to emerge simulating vaginal birth as much as possible, drapes down, mom involved, her chosen support people present, delayed cord clamping, immediate skin to skin bonding and breastfeeding....
