Whois & Analysis for parenting.com

Pregnancy, also known as gravidity or gestation, is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman.

A multiple pregnancy involves more than one offspring, such as with twins.

Pregnancy can occur by sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology.

Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period (LMP).

This is just over nine lunar months, where each month is about 29½ days.

When measured from conception it is about 38 weeks.

An embryo is the developing offspring during the first eight weeks following conception, after which, the term fetus is used until birth.

Symptoms of early pregnancy may include missed periods, tender breasts, nausea and vomiting, hunger, and frequent urination.

Pregnancy may be confirmed with a pregnancy test.

Parenting or child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.

Parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child aside from the biological relationship.

Toilet training, or potty training, is the process of training a young child to use the toilet for urination and defecation, though training may start with a smaller toilet bowl-shaped device (often known as a potty).

Cultural factors play a large part in what age is deemed appropriate, with the expectation for being potty trained ranging from 12 months for some tribes in Africa to 36 months in the modern United States.

Most children can control their bowel before their bladder, boys typically start and finish later than girls, and it usually takes boys longer to learn to stay dry throughout the night, however it depends on the maturity and consistency of the particular child.

A parent is a caregiver of the offspring in their own species.

In humans, a parent is the caretaker of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age).

A biological parent is a person whose gamete resulted in a child, a male through the sperm, and a female through the ovum.

Parents are first-degree relatives and have 50% genetic meet.

A female can also become a parent through surrogacy.

Some parents may be adoptive parents, who nurture and raise an offspring, but are not actually biologically related to the child.

Orphans without adoptive parents can be raised by their grandparents or other family members.
