Discover how pregnancy changes every organ in the body— from the heart, to the brain and kidneys— and what we still don’t know about it.
—
Muscles and joints shift and jostle. The heart’s pounding rhythm speeds up. Blood roars through arteries and veins. Over the course of a pregnancy, every organ in the body changes. Initiated by a range of hormones, these changes begin as soon as a pregnancy begins. Explore what we know— and don’t know— about pregnancy’s effects on the body and brain.

Men could never
This is why choice it’s important. EVERY ORGAN is affected. That’s not something to force or legalize into someone’s body.
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in crypto from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaire
Respect all animals which give birth also. Stop eating animals.

Pregnancy is a divine process.
I have always been terrified of pregnancy and childbirth and thankfully have never gotten pregnant and I am almost 50. I am surprised more women aren't terrified of it too. I will always be pro-choice because no women or girl should be forced to endure pregnancy when they don't want to (to those naysayers out there, many women get pregnant while on birth control- 4 of my friends did and there are millions more out there.)
Currently pregnant, 8 weeks….so excited
It's currently 5:49AM in the morning, so I'm gonna go to the doctors appointment later
Watching this while cuddling with my 3 day old baby
I have never enjoyed such an explanation of pregnancy in 5minutes… This is so amazing❤❤I'm going to look for more videos
I respect and appreciate women
Honestly this is so horrifying
This was so well done. I really appreciate the artists involved in making this visually appealing.

Pregnancy and hair
I just love your animations 😍👌🏻👌🏻
Yeah- no thank you 😀
“consult a doctor”, like they can just be contacted so easily
Pregnancy brings unexpected changes—some challenging, some magical. Discover how your body and mind transform! 🤰✨
And they forget that every child you birth cuts moms life span down so we are LITERALLY GIVING OUR LIVES for each New blessing we bring into the world.
New DNA. Aha… not her body. So not her…
😂Thank you so much, that was very promising 🎉
🧡
Idc I love being pregnant till the end of the 3rd trimester. ❤
I’m in the first trimester of my second pregnancy! I’m miserable but oh so excited to bring another life to the world!!
Amazing animation to gain knowledge
I’m pregnant with 7 weeks and 6 days watching this. Please pray for me for healthy pregnancy.
It’s real difficult process…
God is Great ❤
I am 38 it’s my first pregnancy and I feel great. I work out every day and I am so happy. I like to research childbirth and I am taking Bradley classes with my husband.
How can anyone think this is a miracle??? All I see is danger, sacrifice, oppression, and cruelty to our fragile bodies.
Awesome video, thanks! Almost 40 weeks here, everything feels exactly like that. To early pregnancy moms: don’t quit exercising! Respect your body but keep tour muscles strong. You’re gonna need that!
The part about the blood pressure is definitely true – I had to be a C-section because I spiked my mom's blood pressure before I was born, and even now she still has high blood pressure!
Not just pregnancy, 2 years later I still have loosened muscles and joints due to breastfeeding
Such a great video 😅😅😅 and oh I wish the man watch this video and understand at least a bit …😂
I don't have any of these symptoms except for the reflux. If you drink some baking soda with water it should help.
This animation reminds me of the children’s book What Makes A Baby!
When I was a child I thought morning sickness was from a baby kicking the food out of the mom! 😂
Do pregnant moms get hiccups more often?
God is an amazing creator!
I love this!
34 weeks tomorrow & feeling super anxious to give birth 😅 this is baby #4.. I’ve had a singleton & then twins. Baby girl will be here in December. Prayers to all the super moms in this world! You are loved & appreciated ❤
Let me take a moment to appreciate this creativity with intelligence.. As its easy to use sophisticated language and images but u did it so smooth with simple abd clear presentation.. Thank You.. Loved It.
