What is Canada's Rate of Natural Increase? I'm doing a geography assignment, and in the passage we received it says the birth rate, but not the death rate to calculate the natural increase. Does anyone know what Canada's rate of natural increase is? Follow.
On average, pregnant women begin showing during the second trimester, around 12 to 16 weeks. Normally, your uterus is the size of a lemon. By weeks 14 to 17 of your pregnancy, itâs about the size of a small melon and has risen above the pelvic cavity, making it visible above your waistline. At this point, youâll probably need to shop for maternity clothes if you havenât done so already. Early in pregnancy, some women have a âcome-and-goâ belly.
At about five months (20-22 weeks), the top of the uterus is usually right at the motherâs bellybutton (umbilicus or navel). At about eight to nine months (36-40 weeks), the top of the uterus is almost up to the bottom of the motherâs ribs. Babies may drop lower in the weeks just before birth.You can look back at Figure 7.1 in Study Session 7 to see a diagram of fundal height at various weeks of gestation.hen you measure the uterus, you check to see where the top of the uterus is. Healthy signs. 1  The height of the uterus matches the gestational age of the fetus, i.e. the number of weeks or months of pregnancy (gestation). 2  The top of the uterus rises in the motherâs abdomen by about two finger-widths, or 4 cm every month.
