Many couples also wonder whether a particular sexual position is best for baby-making. You may have heard that certain positions are the best because they allow for deeper penetration, but there is no evidence that sex position has any effect on pregnancy rates. But do whatever you like. The most important thing about sex is that you're both having a good time and you're doing it frequently enough to have live sperm in the woman's reproductive tract during ovulation.
That means you should aim to make love at least every other day during the middle of your cycle. At this point, you can't do much except cross your fingers and hope. You may have heard that it helps if the woman stays on her back afterward with a pillow elevating her bottom so gravity can help the sperm get to the waiting egg, but there is no evidence this helps achieve pregnancy.
While you and your partner are cuddling, a great deal of activity is taking place inside your body. Those millions of sperm have begun their quest to find the egg, and it's not an easy journey. The first obstacle is the acid level in your vagina, which can be deadly to sperm. Then there's your cervical mucus, which can be impenetrable, except on the days when you're most fertile. Then it miraculously thins enough for a few of the strongest sperm to get through.
But that's not all — the sperm that survive still have a long road ahead. In all, they need to travel about 7 inches from the cervix through the uterus to the fallopian tubes. If there isn't an egg in one of the fallopian tubes after ejaculation, the sperm can live in the woman's reproductive tract for up to five days. Only a few dozen sperm ever make it to the egg. The rest get trapped, head up the wrong fallopian tube, or die along the way.
For the lucky few who get near the egg, the race isn't over. They still have to penetrate the egg's outer shell and get inside before the others. And as soon as the hardiest one of the bunch makes it through, the egg changes instantaneously so that no other sperm can get in. It's like a protective shield that clamps down over the egg at the exact moment that first sperm is safely inside.
Now the real miracle begins. The genetic material in the sperm combines with the genetic material in the egg to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly.
You're not actually pregnant until that bundle of new cells, known as the embryo, travels the rest of the way down the fallopian tube and attaches itself to the wall of your uterus.
However, if the embryo implants somewhere other than the uterus, such as the fallopian tube, an ectopic pregnancy results. An ectopic pregnancy is not viable, and you'll either need to take medication to stop it from growing or have surgery to prevent your fallopian tube from rupturing.
That final leg of the trip can take another three days or so, but it may be a few more weeks until you miss a period and suspect that you're going to have a baby. If you miss your period or notice another sign of pregnancy , you can use a home pregnancy test to find out for sure if you have a little one on the way.

The changes associated with the onset of labour, particularly inflammation, trigger the biological signals that tell a baby to get ready for being born.
Surprisingly, even a small deviation from normal, full-term around 40 weeks timing of labour may have effects. Babies born by caesarean section without labour do not transition to the outside world as smoothly as those where labour has commenced. They have a higher rate of admission to neonatal units for respiratory problems, even after adjusting for other risk factors. Every week earlier than delivery at 40 weeks roughly doubles the risk of neonatal unit admission for babies.
Current recommendations for birth timing are to balance the risks of delivery with these immaturity risks, and not deliver too early unless it is medically required. Some of these effects can be altered by steroids. Steroids are made naturally by our bodies, including in babies.
Independent of mild prematurity, researchers are looking closely to determine if there are any long term health and developmental effects of being born by caesarean section, without the process of labour and delivery.

But why do we have such a high-risk delivery system, one where the baby has to actually deform its skull to be born? Humans are defined by our brains.
In our species, the process of evolution has been a balancing act, where brain size and maturity have been weighed up in terms of survival against the risk of obstruction in labour.
Human babies are relatively immature compared with some of our close primate relatives, but we cannot safely achieve more brain growth before delivery. For us, this extra growth has to occur over the first year or so after birth.
In addition, because we walk upright, this has created a tilt in our pelvis which narrows the birth canal the gap in the bones of the pelvis through which the baby has to pass.
