Some people compare the process of pregnancy like this: women provide the soil and men provide the seeds. Actually I don\’t think so. It is not wrong to say that women are the soil, but the quality of seeds is determined by both men and women.
So what should expectant mothers do to provide the best egg for their future baby, and then provide a good \”soil\” for the baby?
I remember discussing this issue with a woman who was in the organic vegetable marketing business. What she said is very interesting: \”Why do so many girls nowadays always fail to conceive or manage to conceive, but they often suffer from unexpected miscarriages? Some even have been pregnant for four or five months and still have inexplicable miscarriages.\” Stillbirth or miscarriage is very harmful to women\’s psychology and physiology.\”
She feels a little helpless: \”Everyone always doesn\’t understand, and they always think that they don\’t care enough for the baby during pregnancy, but they don\’t know , this tragedy has been decided long before pregnancy. The father and mother work together to provide a good fertilized egg, which is like a seed in agriculture; then it is the \”soil\” for the mother\’s health. Therefore, whether the child can To come into the world healthily and safely, the mother\’s physical condition is particularly important. She not only has the important task of providing good soil, but also has the great mission of ensuring whether the seeds are healthy.\”
She then gave me an analogy. : \”Why do we care so much about cultivating seeds in agriculture? Farmers can also harvest seeds during the planting process, but they still have to buy seeds? The reason is simple. Seeds that are carefully cultivated are better than those that grow naturally. So are people. Similarly, we do not reproduce for the sake of reproduction, but for the sake of a healthy and excellent next generation, so the cultivation of seeds is essential.\”
In fact, there are still big differences between humans and plants. The expectant father discharges tens of millions of sperm at a time. Under normal circumstances, only one sperm from such a large number of sperm can combine with the egg. You can imagine how fierce the competition is. The vast majority of expectant mothers can only release one egg per month, which means that no matter how good your sperm is, there is only one egg waiting there, either healthy or unhealthy.
Therefore, a safe \”good pregnancy\” and a healthy baby are the combination of high-quality eggs and high-quality sperm, and they are also the crystallization of love. To give birth to a healthy baby, the quality of the eggs is very important. Eggs mean that the expectant mother has strong ovaries and uterus, which can provide first-class \”soil\” for the child.
The egg is the largest cell in the human body and a cell unique to women. It is the cell that producesThe mother cells of new life are produced by the female gonads – the ovaries.
The main function of the ovaries, in addition to secreting essential female sex hormones, is to produce eggs. The embryonic stage of a girl’s ovaries is around 3 to 6 weeks of gestation. Before birth, millions of oocytes have been formed in the ovary. After childhood and adolescence, only more than 100,000 oocytes remain in adulthood. Oocytes are wrapped in primordial follicles. Under the influence of sex hormones, only one primordial follicle matures every month, and the mature eggs are discharged from the ovary into the abdominal cavity. Generally speaking, a woman will have about 400 to 500 mature eggs in her lifetime, and the rest of the oocytes will fend for themselves.
Eggs are female reproductive cells. One egg is produced by one ovary every month. Eggs must mature before they can be released from the ovaries. The egg matures in a fluid-filled vesicle, and the image of a jellyfish is very appropriate to describe the egg. The general survival time of eggs in the expectant mother\’s body is 12 to 24 hours. There are also reports that eggs can survive for 48 hours. This should be a relatively \”strong\” egg. The diameter of a mature egg can reach 1 mm. As the largest cell in the human body, the egg is responsible for the reproduction of human life. The size of normal mature follicles is 1.8 to 2.5 cm. Mature eggs can be released normally.
During these 48 hours, the egg is waiting to meet and combine with the sperm. If the egg cannot meet the sperm to form a fertilized egg due to various reasons after being discharged, it will die naturally after 48 to 72 hours. Lose this chance of fertilization, then wait until 1 month later when another egg matures and is released, and the same process repeats. The left and right ovaries usually release eggs in turn, and in rare cases two or more eggs can be released at the same time. If combined with sperm respectively, dizygotic twins and polyzygotic multiples will appear. Among the causes of female infertility, infertility caused by ovarian factors accounts for about 15% to 25% of infertility, and ovarian failure to ovulate is one of the important reasons.
Therefore, an egg has to go through several years of dormancy from its birth to its final birth or death. During these years, it has been coexisting with the mother\’s body, and the mother\’s physical health, eating habits, environment, etc. will all have an impact that cannot be ignored. The quality of an expectant mother\’s eggs not only determines whether she is fertile, but also determines whether the fertilized eggs can survive and give birth to a healthy baby. Therefore, in terms of reproduction, the mother body in nature is a very important existence. It is not only related to the gestation of individuals, but also to the reproduction of a race.
