The interior world of the fetus

You worry for him from the same moment in which you decide to be a mom. That's why you would love knowing what feels when it is inside you: if he listens to you when you speak to him or he likes the music that you put, if he feels pain with the diagnostic tests, if it perceives your sadness or happiness, if the light bothers him... Since he neither speaks, it does not even cry, it cannot count what he sees (if it are that sees something) saying what he likes, if it calms him that you caress the intestine...

And the fact is that sorrow of all the advances achieved in medicine, we continue without knowing exactly what the baby feels inside the maternal womb. The skills of prenatal diagnosis (as the ultrasound scan or the monitoring) have allowed to find out part of the life of the fetus, of his health, but small of his feelings or mental states, a real mystery.


As it advances the pregnancy, it is clear that your future baby is increasing his movements, which is translated in a progressive neurological maturation. And it is thought that as it is adding weeks of life, it is maturing his senses, which it gives to understand that it appreciates other sensitive worlds, although these assumptions are only interpretations, since they have not been able demonstrated científicamente.

What yes we know is that the newborn baby comes to the world with five developed senses, so ... these already existed when it was inside mom.

Tencuriosities on the pregnancy

You knew that...

• The probabilities of reaching a pregnancy, if sexual relations are supported regularly, it is 20 % a month.

• The duration of the pregnancy is 266 days, or what is the same: 38 weeks, and not 40 as as everybody believes. That is to say, 2 weeks, after conceiving already, you are in the fourth week of pregnancy.

• The statistics of normal pregnancies he says that, 85 % goes forward or is late one week earlier or after the probable date of childbearing. That is to say, there is one week above or below of oscillation in the birth of the babies.

• It is possible to have the menstrual cycle during the pregnancy. Sometimes, some women have a small hemorrhage to 9 days of the fertilization. It is similar to the rule, and the ovum provokes it on having been implanted in the wall of the womb.

• In the week 9 of pregnancy, the baby is so small that it is of the size of a grape. The carita is modelling herself him, him the bracitos grow, the piernecitas and already the deditos appreciate him.

• Hacia la fase final del embarazo, puede que padezcas el "síndrome del nido". Caracterizado por un aumento de tu actividad y la necesidad de hacer cien mil cosas mismo tiempo. Pero tranquila, es por que tu cuerpo se está preparando para el parto.


• Evitar comer grasas en el embarazo no es nada beneficioso. Algunas grasas, como las que contienen los productos lácteos y el pescado azul, son básicas para el desarrollo del bebé.


• El aumento, siempre moderado, de peso durante el embarazo está siempre justificado. El peso se distribuye en: el 39% corresponde al bebé, el 22% a la sangre, el 11% al líquido amniótico, otro 11% al útero, el 9% a la placenta y el restante 8% al pecho.


• A partir de la semana 20 del embarazo tu bebé ya reacciona a los ruidos externos del vientre materno.


• Casi el 80% de las embarazadas sufren náuseas durante el embarazo.

Curiosities on our babies that you must know

Sailing along Internet we have been compiling curiosities on babies that we want to share with you (although we do not put the hand in the fire for all)

The Mother Nature will never stop surprising us with the development of the human being since it is an embryo. We hope that this information should fascinate you so much like to us.

• From the moment of the conception up to the birth, the baby duplicates his weight in 3.000 million times.

• The heart of the fetus starts beating from the third week of life.

• On having been born, the babies have 300 bones that as they are growing come down to 206. This is due to the fact that the newborn babies are born with some bones separated to facilitate his exit during the childbearing.
• The blue greyish color of the eyes in the newborn babies owes to the absence of pigmentation of the iris.
• Your baby will share date of birthday with another 9 million persons in the planet independently of the day and place where he has been born.
• On having been born, the brain supposes 10 % of the whole of the weight of his body, whereas in the adults it represents 2 %. Also his heart beats much more quickly, between 130 and 160 pulsations per minute, almost the double of beats that ours.
• During the first days of life the babies cry without tears because they still have not opened his lachrymal conduits.
• The first two trimesters the child can breathe and swallow simultaneously to be able to be breast-fed.
• A baby does not have bad breath because it has no teeth.
• The most powerful sense of the babies is the smell for which they recognize his mother from the first moment. They take the father in recognizing him approximately two weeks more.
• The small children laugh five times more than the adults. Since you see we also have to learn of our small ones, or at least not lose the good customs.

Curiosities on the babies

• id you know that kissing is a custom that originates in the primitive times when the mothers had to chew first the meal for his small ones and spend it to him across the mouth? The mixers not always have existed, so this age a form of “ preparing the mushs ”.
• The babies are born with a taste for the sweet thing, from what the breast milk is more sweet enough than that of cow, for example. That's why when we are adult and are sick or feel unhappy, we tend to consume sweet and warm drinks.

• You can adivinar the character of your baby for the form in the one that starts speaking. If it names objects one to one, he will be an abstract thinker. But if the first thing that he learns is hello, bye or some affectionate word of those that you usually repeat him, undoubtedly it will be very sociable.

• Every generation is slightly higher than the previous one. It is anticipated that the today children will measure of average three centimeters more than his parents and the girls will be two centimeters more discharges than his moms.
• Do you know the origin of the gesture of saying that not moving the head of a side for other? When the babies are full they turn the head towards a side and hence there proceeds the form in which the human beings we usually say not.

To learn to think

Sir Ernest Rutherford, president of the Real British Society and Nobel Prize of Chemistry in 1908, it was telling the following anecdote:

Some time ago, I received the call of a companion. It was on the verge of putting a zero to a student for the response who had given in a problem of physics, although this one was affirming roundly that his response was absolutely guessed right. Teachers and students agreed to ask for arbitration of impartial someone and it was me who was chosen.

I read the question of the examination and he was saying: Demonstrate as it is possible to determine the height of a building with the help of a barometer. The student had answered: I take the barometer to the roof of the building and tie him a very long rope. I take down it up to the base of the building, mark and measure. The length of the rope is equal to the length of the building.

Really, the student had raised a serious problem with the resolution of the exercise, because he had answered to the correct question and completely.

On the other hand, if the maximum punctuation was granted to him, it might alter the average of his year of study, to obtain a higher note and this way to certify his high level in physics; but the response was not confirming that the student had this level.

I suggested to give to the pupil another opportunity. I granted to him six minutes so that the same question but this time was answering me with the warning that in the response it had to demonstrate his knowledge of physics.

Five minutes had happened and the student had not written anything. I asked him if it wanted to leave, but I answer myself that it had many responses to the problem. His difficulty was to choose the best of all. I apologized for interrupting him and asked him to continue.

In the minute that he had left he wrote the following response: I take the barometer and throw it to the soil from the roof of the building, calculate the time of fall with a chronometer. Later 0,5 applies to himself the formula height = for A for t^2. And this way we obtain the height of the building.

In this point I asked my companion if the student could move back. It gave him the highest note.

After leaving the office, I met again with the student and asked him to tell myself his other responses to the question. Good, he answered, there are many ways, for example, you take the barometer in a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer and the length of his shade. If we measure next the length of the shade of the Building and apply a simple proportion, we will obtain also the height of the building.

Perfect, I said to him: and otherwise?. If, he answered, this is a very basic procedure to measure a building, but also it serves. In this method, you take the barometer and you are located in the stairs of the building in the ground floor. As you raise the stairs, you are marking the height of the barometer and count the number of marks up to the roof. You multiply in the end the height of the barometer by the number of marks that you have done and you already have the height.

This is a very direct method. Of course, if what he wants is a more sophisticated procedure, it can tie the barometer to a rope and move it as if it was a pendulum. If we calculate that when the barometer is at a height of the roof the gravity is zero and if we bear in mind the measurement of the acceleration of the gravity on having lowered the barometer in circular trajectory on having happened for the perpendicular one of the building, of the difference of these values, and applying a simple trigonometrical formula, we might calculate, undoubtedly, the height of the building.

In the same system style, you tie the barometer to a rope and take down it from the roof to the street. Using it as a pendulum you can calculate the height measuring his period of pretransfer.

In end, he concluded, other many ways exist. Probably, the best is to take the barometer and to strike with the door of the house of the doorman. When cove, to say to him: " Mister Doorman, here I have a nice barometer. If you say to me the height of this building, I give it to him ".

In this moment of the conversation, I asked him if he did not know the conventional response to the problem (the difference of pressure marked by a barometer in two different places provides to us the difference of height between both places) clearly, he said that he knew her, but that during his studies, his teachers had tried to teach him to think.

The student was calling Niels Bohr, Danish physicist, Nobel Prize of physics in 1922, more known for being the first one in proposing the model of atom with protons and neutrons and the electrons that were surrounding it. He was fundamentally an innovator of the quantum theory.

To the margin of the personage, the entertaining and curious of the anecdote, the essential of this history the fact is that THEY HAD TAUGHT HIM TO THINK. Certainly, for the skeptics, this history is absolutely true

Let's learn to think, there are thousand solutions for the same problem, but the really interesting thing, the authentically brilliant thing is to choose the most practical and rapid solution, so that we could finish with the problem of root ... and to devote ourselves to solve OTHER problems.

FIVE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT VIDA TEACHES YOU

The most important question

During my second semester in the school of infirmary, our teacher gave us an examination surprise. I was a conscious student and I read rapidly all the questions, until I read the last one:

" What is the name of the woman who cleans the school? "

Surely this was some type of prank. I had seen often the woman who was cleaning the school. It was high, a dark hair, as of fifty years, but: how was I going to know his name?

I delivered my examination, leaving the last question blank.

Before it was finishing the class, someone asked the teacher if the last question would count for the note of the examination. "Absolutely", said the teacher. " In his careers you will know many persons. They all are important. They deserve his attention and care, although only they smile and say to them: ' Hello! '

I never forgot this lesson. Also I learned that his name was Dorothy. We all are important.

I help in the rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an African American woman, of advanced age was stopped in the hard shoulder of a freeway of Alabama, trying to support a strong thunderstorm.

His car had decomposed and she needed desperately that they were taking her. Any soaking, she decided to stop the next car. A white young man her stopped to help, in spite of all the conflicts that had happened during the 60. The young man took her to a sure place, assistance helped to obtain it and it put it in a taxi. She seemed to be quite cursory. She noted down the direction of the young man, she was grateful to him and went away.

Seven days happened, when they touched the door of his house. For his surprise, a TV set giant screen to color was delivered to him by mail to his house. It had a special attached note to the bundle. This one was saying: " Great thanks for helping in the freeway another night. The rain overwhelmed not only my clothes but my spirit. Then you appeared. Thanks to you, I could come next to the bed of my agonizing husband, just before which he was dying. God blesses it for helping and for serving others disinterestedly. Sincerely: The Lady of Nat King Cole.

Do not wait for anything in return and you will receive it.

He always remembers those who you serve

In the days in which an ice cream was costing much less, a 10-year-old child entered an establishment and sat down to a table. The mesera put a water glass facing him.: " How much is this an ice cream of chocolate with almonds? " the child asked. " Fifty cents ", answered the mesera. The child extracted his hand of his pocket and examined a number of coins.: " How much is this an alone ice cream? ", he asked again..

Some persons were pregnant for a table and the mesera was already a little impatient. She said " thirty five cents " sudden. The child counted the coins again. " I want the alone ice cream ", said the child. The mesera brought to him the ice cream, and put the account in the table and went away.

The child finished the ice cream, paid in the box and went away. When the mesera returned, she started cleaning the table and then it was difficult to him to swallow saliva with what it saw. There, put tidily along with the empty dish, there was thirty five cents and twenty-five more ... his tip.

Never judge anybody premature.

Los obstáculos en nuestro camino

Hace mucho tiempo, un rey colocó una gran roca obstaculizando un camino. Entonces se escondió y miró para ver si alguien quitaba la tremenda roca. Algunos de los comerciantes más adinerados del rey y cortesanos vinieron y simplemente le dieron una vuelta. Muchos culparon al rey ruidosamente de no mantener los caminos despejados, pero ninguno hizo algo para sacar la piedra grande del camino.

Then a peasant came, and it was taking a load of vegetables. On having come closer the rock, the peasant put his load in the flat and tried to move the rock aside of the way. After pushing and getting tired very much, it achieved it. Meanwhile he was gathering his load of vegetables, it noticed a portfolio in the soil, jousted where the rock had been. The portfolio was containing many golden coins and a note of the same king indicating that the gold was for the person that removiera the stone of the way. The peasant learned what others never understood.

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve the condition of one.

Donating blood

Many years ago, when I was employed as volunteer at Stanford's Hospital, I met a niñita so-called Liz who was suffering from a strange illness. His only opportunity to recover seemingly was a blood transfusion of his 5-year-old brother, who had survived miraculously the same illness and had developed the antibodies necessary to fight her. The doctor explained the situation to the brother of the girl, and asked him if it would be ready to give his blood to his sister. I saw it doubting in only a moment before taking a big sigh and saying: " If, I will do it, if that saves Liz. "

Meanwhile the transfusion was continuing, he was put to bed in a bed next to that of his sister, and smilingly while we were assisting it to him and to his sister, seeing returning the color to the cheeks of the girl. Then the face of the child became pale and his smile disappeared. It looked at the doctor and asked him in a trembling voice: " At what time will I start dying? "

Being alone a child, he had not understood the doctor; he was thinking that he would give all his blood to his sister. And nevertheless it was giving it to him.

It gives everything for whom you love.

IT LOVES AS YOU HAVE NEVER WANTED.

According to the said study, the prevalency of the disorders of the sleep in the children is low, scarcely 7,9 %; nevertheless, the half of small these with insomnia (51 %), sleeps in arms of the ancestors or in the bed of the parents. 

Neither is very high the number of babies who are accustomed to sharing the familiar bed, it does not come to 5 % in the minors of 6 months, although this percentage, instead of diminishing as the baby grows and becomes more autonomous, it increases with the age and reaches 8 per cent in the minor children of 15 months.
