And you know how in Ukrainian to be "in a position"? Buti at of Hope. However, so tender and beautiful ...
Today, women easily learn "with hope" they are either too early to come up with a name for the heir. Now it's simple: I came into any pharmacy, bought a test and... found out about his plans for the next 7-8 months.
Our great-grandmothers and even mothers so the ability to quickly verify the "interesting situation" was not, and they came out of this situation, improvised methods. I must say that between the grandmother and modern methods have one common element - in most cases on the "determinant" to help. Well, the details - before you ...
Barley-wheat dough
It was used even ancient Egyptian ladies, who for several days urinated on wheat and barley grains. One of the first pregnancy test, if not the first, appeared in ancient Egypt. Sprouted wheat - wait for the girl, barley - wait for his son. No seedlings - so there is no pregnancy.
And curiously enough, in the middle of the last century, scientists have shown that this experience on the grains really works!
onion test
In ancient Egypt guessing on wheat and barley, and Ancient Ellade the same purpose were used for onion method of Hippocrates. Founder of Medicine suggested that women check themselves for pregnancy as follows: insert the bulb into the vagina and hold it "there" throughout the night. In the morning, check the result: if the breath smells like onions women, pregnancy has not occurred, there is no smell of onion - wait a few months offspring.
test point is that in the open uterus if pregnancy has not occurred, the smell reaches from the bottom of the mouth, both through the hollow tube.
Test on beer
This method is decoded by an ancient Egyptian papyrus: a woman seated in a puddle of beer, spilled indoors. If the smell of beer called a lady nausea and vomiting, was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Test on latch
Learned about it from a medical treatise of the end of the XV century, and was checking for pregnancy are as follows: a woman urinating in the pelvis, or to put a heck of a big key for 3-4 hours. Further, the urine is drained, goes to heck, and checked - whether there is a mark on the bottom of the pelvis. There is a fingerprint - there pregnancy.
on the eye test
Jacques Gullemo physician, who lived in the XVI century, belongs to the allegation that the pregnancy can be seen in the eyes of women. Dr. Gullemo calculated that the young lady "in the position of" deep-set eyes look, the pupils become small, the eyelids priopuscheny, visible in the corners of his eyes swollen veins.
Modern doctors see nothing plausible to such a method, although it is noted that at the beginning of pregnancy a woman can suffer a little vision.
a sign Chadwick
Incidentally, this method, the opening of which is made in the XIX century, the French obstetrician James Chadwick, partly experienced our mothers and grandmothers. In early pregnancy - 6-8 weeks - the vagina, cervix, labia become purple-red in color due to the blood flow to these organs.
We check on rabbits
In the 20s of the last century, scientists from Germany, Selmar Aschheim and Bernhard Zondek found in the urine of pregnant women special hormone - human chorionic gonadotropin. Dose urine was injected into the blood of rabbit or mouse, which led them to the development of the ovaries, as in pregnancy.
Alas, the experiment was a cruel finale. On the 5th day of pseudopregnant animal opened to the detection result.
frog test
Do not worry, in this case the animal does not suffer. A test suggested that the introduction of urine of pregnant women in the body of the frog or toad, one day after she "injection" started spawn.
But how is it that well, that in our time, you can simply buy a "pregnancy test"!
