Welcome to EmpowHER. The uterus can be thought of as a babies incubator. During pregnancy the uterus grows and changes shape to accommodate for the growing fetus. The uterus will begin to grow upwards, shifting out of the woman’s pelvis. It can expand up to twenty times its normal size during pregnancy. This changing of the uterus may cause the woman to feel some cramping and pain. During the 40 weeks of pregnancy, the lining of the uterus will thicken, and its blood vessels will enlarge to nourish the fetus. The uterus will work with the placenta to provide the baby with necessary nutrients. Birth control pills are to be used for a long period of time, to protect you from becoming pregnant and Emergency pills are taken usually after having unprotected sex, which should not be used as a method of birth control at all times. You need to discuss with your doctor, on which birth control method is best for you.
