Ovulation and gestational age: understand your pregnancy progress

Ovulation refers to the day of a woman's menstrual cycle. During this period, a woman's eggs are released from the ovaries and travel into the fallopian tubes, where they wait to meet sperm. If the egg and sperm successfully combine, they will combine into a fertilized egg in the fallopian tube and begin implantation and development.

Gestational age refers to the length of time a woman is pregnant, usually calculated from the first day of her last menstrual period. Gestational age is calculated based on the length and regularity of a woman's menstrual cycle. In the first few months of pregnancy, a woman's gestational age may fluctuate due to the expansion of the uterus and changes in hormonal levels, but in the last few months of pregnancy, a woman's gestational age is usually relatively stable.

It is important for pregnant women and their families to understand the progress of their pregnancy. Understanding ovulation and gestational age can help pregnant women better manage their pregnancy and ensure healthy fetal development. In addition, understanding the progress of pregnancy can also help family members better support pregnant women and provide necessary help and advice.
