OVERVIEW OF THE CONDITION

 During the first trimester she experienced a missed menstrual period, nausea
and/or vomiting, increased frequency of urination, fatigue, breast tenderness, and/or
mood changes.
She reported that her last menstrual period (LMP) was on March 13, 2009. She
said that she used to drink alcoholic beverages during the 1st and 2nd month of being
pregnant and stops when it was almost the 3rd month or as she knows that she is pregnant.

HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

 Ovary - there are 2 of these, one on each side. At puberty they start producing
eggs, usually one a month from one ovary. This is called ovulation, once a girl has started
ovulating she can get pregnant no matter how young she is.

Fallopian tubes - there are 2 of these also, one for each ovary. At ovulation the
egg is released from an ovary and travels down a fallopian tube. If the female has had
sexual intercourse sperm will swim into the fallopian tubes and usually the egg gets
fertilized by a sperm in the tube.

Uterus - The fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus and develops into a
fetus in the uterus.

Endometrium - this is a lining of tissue that forms each month on the walls of the
uterus. If a female becomes pregnant it thickens to help support the pregnancy. If she
doesn't get pregnant the lining is shed each month. This called the menstrual flow.

Cervix - this part is between the vagina and the uterus. It has a very small
opening. Microscopic sperm can easily pass through, but nothing much bigger than that.
The penis can't go through the cervix. But at the time of giving birth hormones cause the
cervix to soften and be able to stretch to allow the baby to be pushed through.

Vagina - The penis goes into the vagina during sexual intercourse. The baby
passes through the vagina during the birth process.

Hymen (cherry) - At the opening of the vagina some virgins (females who have
never had sex) have a membrane that partially closes the opening. Usually a tampon can
be inserted easily through the opening in the hymen, but inserting a penis may tear the
hymen and cause bleeding and some pain. Not all virgins have a hymen.

Hood of the clitoris - a small piece of skin that partially covers the clitoris.

Clitoris - a small bump above or in front of the opening to the vagina, actually
somewhat like a small penis. It swells or becomes erect when stimulated. For many
females this part needs some touching or stimulation in order to have an orgasm.

Urethra - the tube that urine flows out of from the bladder. The opening to the
urethra is between the clitoris and the opening to the vagina, This opening is very small.
A tampon could not be accidentally put into it, a penis could not go into this opening.

Opening to the vagina - the vagina is inside the body, it can not really be seen
from the outside.

Labia or Lips - these are the lips that close around the opening to the vagina.

Vulva - this is the proper term for the external female genitals.
 Notice how the uterus stretches. It goes from a normal size of 4 or 5 inches in
diameter to big enough to hold a baby. The bladder and the intestines are squeezed to
much smaller than normal size. Causing the pregnant woman to have to urinate
frequently and perhaps have indigestion often. The breasts enlarge due to increased size
of the milk producing glands.
