“Congratulations, you’re three months pregnant!”

Most expectant mothers are shocked when they first go to the hospital and find out they are pregnant.
I found out I was pregnant and it's already been three months! That's because pregnancy begins on the day of your last period, not the day of fertilization or implantation.
Before I knew it, my body was preparing for pregnancy, the fertilized egg was implanting, and pregnancy was beginning.
Even if you look for pregnancy information late, it is difficult to get sufficient answers to the numerous questions pregnant women have just from internet rumors or advice from acquaintances.
So, what pregnant women need most is a book about pregnancy and childbirth that will accompany them during this precious time of conceiving life.


The revised and expanded edition of "One Page a Day, Pregnancy and Childbirth Daily Book" is the ultimate guidebook for expectant mothers and fathers awaiting their baby, from preparing for pregnancy to after childbirth.
Professor Moon-Young Kim (Presidential Citation) and Professor Yu-Jeong Han of Gangnam CHA Hospital, the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Korea, became the attending physicians of pregnant women and included all information about pregnancy and childbirth, and Director Su-Yeon Kim of Gangnam Seran Hospital (Facebook Doctor) personally filmed and included the exercises that are essential for pregnant women throughout the pregnancy process.
A book written over three years by three of the best doctor-mothers in their respective fields has been published.
In particular, this revised and expanded edition focuses on the childbirth process at the active request of pregnant women.

If the best medical team becomes your attending physician every single day of the 40 weeks, or 280 days, of pregnancy, it will be a great help when you are a first-time mother and feel unfamiliar and afraid, when you are worried about the health of the baby and mother, and when you have to make choices during the numerous tests and pregnancy process.
For expectant mothers eagerly awaiting the birth of a healthy, beautiful baby, "One Page a Day, Pregnancy and Childbirth Daily Book" will be a reliable friend who is always by their side.

In fact, prenatal education is not about creating something new.
Daily life itself should be prenatal education.
Living with the hope of the baby's health and well-being throughout pregnancy.
Living a proper daily life is prenatal education.
A baby grows and develops its five senses in its mother's womb for 280 days.
Of the five senses, hearing is the most important sense during the fetal period.
Hearing is closely related to fetal development, especially brain development.
In fact, in several animal experiments, offspring born to mothers who were exposed to auditory stimulation showed significantly better intellectual abilities and developed better brain folds.
A recent study by a research team at the University of Helsinki in Finland reported that sounds heard in the womb affect the neural development of babies' language learning abilities after birth.
It is a scientifically proven fact that sound is very important to the fetus.

The baby has not yet formed in the mother's womb.
Because it is a stage before the fetus is formed, there are no symptoms that can appear when you have a baby.
But if you look back later and confirm the pregnancy, you will see that the baby is still growing as a cell called an 'egg'.
The mother's egg and the father's sperm meet to form a fertilized egg.
After the fertilized egg settles in the uterus, it takes time for it to develop into a fetus.
In order to have a healthy baby, the eggs and sperm that will become the baby must be healthy first.
So, if you are planning to get pregnant, you should prepare in advance to have a positive effect on the baby.
As a mother and father, your duties begin long before you even hear the news that you are pregnant.

This week's ultrasound will show the baby's heartbeat.
It is mysterious and wonderful to see the heart of this tiny life, about the size of a long grain of rice, beating so hard.
Your baby is going through a very important developmental stage at an incredible pace right now.
It has a tail, but from now on it is quickly starting to take on the appearance of a baby.
The bumps that will grow into the limbs become clearly visible, and the shape of the face is also gradually revealed.
The parts that will become facial features are also visible, albeit very small.

The second trimester of pregnancy is the period when the fetus begins to grow in earnest.
It can be said that we have entered a period of relative stability.
This is also the time when the fetus can be best observed through ultrasound examination.
As the belly grows and the fetus moves, the mother becomes more concerned about prenatal care.
Usually, you visit the hospital every four weeks for a checkup.

It varies from person to person, but around this time, the baby's movements in the womb are transmitted to the mother.
Finally, I can feel the fetus moving.
If it's your first pregnancy, you'll usually feel the fetus move around 20 weeks, but mothers who have given birth before may feel it earlier.
Mothers who have already experienced fetal movement know what it is like and can sense it right away.
However, first-time mothers often have difficulty recognizing whether this is fetal movement or not and are unsure.
Also, the time at which you feel fetal movement varies depending on the mother's weight, the baby's position, and the location of the placenta.

The organs in a baby's ear send nerve signals to the brain.
It is also the time when hearing is almost complete.
It is time to pay attention to prenatal education through sound stimulation.
The baby responds to more and more sounds.
When they hear a loud noise, they get startled and move suddenly.
The sense of the skin is also well developed, to the point where it can feel the temperature of amniotic fluid and the texture of the skin.
The skin with a thin subcutaneous fat layer is still wrinkled.
As the body becomes longer, the height appears to grow.
The weight is now heavier than a basketball.
Starting this week, babies will be able to start breathing on their own even after they are born.
This also means that even if it is a premature birth, survival can only be expected if the baby is born after 24 weeks.
The 24th week is important for the fetus because it is the week in which the body can secrete surfactant, which opens the alveoli that were previously flat and not open, for the fetus's first breath.

This week, I thought I still had time left.
As signs of impending labor begin to appear, you become more nervous.
The pain that was surging through me completely disappears, and I become a shepherd boy.
It seems like the new mother's mishaps have already begun.
85 percent of babies are born two weeks or less before their due date.
Now, you really don't know when the baby will be born, so you have to stay on your toes.

If you have been exercising regularly and more diligently than others, you will see a noticeable difference during pregnancy.
The changes in your body appear to be tolerable and definitely less painful.
Childbirth is easier and recovery is much faster.
Moreover, if blood circulation improves through exercise, the baby in the womb will also receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients.
Ultimately, it helps the fetus' brain development and healthy growth.
Exercise is essential for both mother and baby.

--- p.379

I often get asked, “I gave birth, when can I start exercising?”
Then answer like this.
“I’ll do it right away.” You may wonder how you can exercise right after giving birth, but you can do it as much as you want.
Don't be afraid, just start moving little by little and you will feel yourself recovering faster day by day.
If you have had surgery, you should do hip muscle exercises, starting with a bridge position while lying down and rotating your body.
You need to move to recover faster.
Women who have had a natural birth can usually move more quickly than women who have had a surgical abortion.
You can even walk there to feed the baby milk.
Even if it's hard, if you move, the next move will be easier.
Moving is the best way to help your body recover quickly.
