How come some women have twins? There are two types of twins, those who look the same and those who do not look the same. About 25% of all twins are twins who look the same. This means that they grew out of one egg. which split into two different clusters of cells, both of which later developed into a baby. Until now the scientists do not fully understand, why some eggs split up. As they are created from the same egg, twins of this type are always the same sex and they look very similar. Twins who do not look like one another are caused by a simultaneous release of an egg in each ovary ofthe woman. Both eggs are fertilised, each one by a separate sperm from the man and two babies start to grow at the same time in the uterus. Except for growing in the same womb and being the same age, these twins are like any other children of these same parents. They can be of a different sex and have completely different characteristics to each other

Are there any dangers if a pregnant woman has lovemaking with her partner? If none of the two partners has a (STDs) lovemaking  transmitted disease, there is no danger if a pregnant woman has sex with her partner. The uterus is closed completely and the baby is protected well, so that the sperm of the man can, under no circumstance, reach the baby. However, it is recommended that the two partners are careful and that the belly of the woman is not put under too much pressure. Sometimes women do not feel like having sex, especially in the last part of the pregnancy. If a woman has such feelings, her partner is asked to respect it. In addition, if the woman is infected with a lovemaking transmitted disease(STDs), having lovemaking during her pregnancy can be very dangerous for her and for the unborn baby. If a couple has lovemaking during pregnancy, they have to make sure that none of them has a STDs transmitted disease and or they should use a condom for protection.     ...

Can a woman get pregnant while breast-feeding? In the first six months after giving birth to a child, a breast-feeding woman is protected from getting pregnant to a large extent. However, that requires that the woman breast-feeds the child intensively (the child suckles frequently and receives breast ilk only) and that her menstrual cycle has not yet started again.  If a woman starts to menstruate again or if the child receives any food other than breast milk, the woman can get pregnant again.  She is therefore advised to use family planing in order to avoid having another too soon.

Can I get pregnant by having lovemaking only once? Yes, a girl can get pregnant if she has only had lovemaking once.  It depends on the the menstrual cycle. If there is a ripe egg released from the ovaries of the girl, ready to be fertilised and that same day the girl  has sex with a man,  she can get pregnant.  This also applies, if she is having lovemaking for the  first time in her life.

Can I get pregnant before I had my first period ever? Yes, a girl can get pregnant before she had her first period ever, that is before ever having seen her menstrual blood. For sure you ask yourself why. Before seeing the menstrual blood, an egg ripens in the ovaries of the girl and it moves from the ovaries towards the uterus. The menstruation is the sign that his ripe egg has not been fertilised and therefore it leaves the body through the vagina together with the               lining of the uterusThat means that, even if a girl has not yet had her first                                   period ever, an egg may have started to ripen in her    ovaries.                                                           ...

Can I also get pregnant while having my period? For a woman to get pregnant a ripe egg has to unite with a sperm from a man. A ripe egg, which is not fertilised, dies and at the same time the lining, which developed in the uterus to receive the fertilised egg breaks down. The egg and the lining then move through the vagina together as menstrual blood. Menstruation is a sign that the egg has not been fertilised and therefore died. Normally, there is no other egg ready to be fertilised at the time of the menstruation and in this case there is no danger of getting pregnant. However, sometimes mistakes happen in the menstrual I cycle and there is a ripe egg ready to be fertilised, in spite of you having your period. Although it is not very common, it is possible to get pregnant even if you have your menstruation.

When exactly during the menstrual cycle can an egg be fertilised? A ripe egg is released 14 days before the onset of the next period. After being released either from the left or from the right ovary it moves through the fallopian tubes towards the uterus. If an egg unites with a sperm from the man while moving through the fallopian tubes, it can be fertilised. That is possible, if a woman has sex a few days before the egg is released or the same day the egg is released. Since most young girls have very irregular periods, It is almost impossible for them to know the date of their next period. Therefore it is also difficult to know when there is an egg ready to be fertilised. A girl's menstrual cycle can easily be affected by stress, sorrow, travelling or other changes in a girl's life. Even if a girl has had regular periods for some time, they may suddenly become irregular. Most women and especially young girls cannot rely on counting days to avoid pregnancies, as they can neve...
