  • Yeah, of course, I can babysit tonight, Mrs. Robinson.

  • I love kids.

  • They're so much fun.

  • You have nothing to worry about.

  • I have a ton of experience.

  • Um, a baby?

  • I-- I think it'll be OK.

  • I mean, how hard can it be?

  • In order for people to have kids, a pregnancy must occur.

  • Now that can happen when sperm, which is produced in the testicles, combines with and fertilizes an egg, which is produced in the ovaries.

  • Now if a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus, the process of pregnancy has begun.

  • But how do the sperm and egg meet?

  • There are several possibilities.

  • The most common way for a sperm and egg to meet is during vaginal sex, when a penis is inserted into a vagina.

  • Semen, which is a fluid that carries sperm, is ejaculated, and the sperm can swim up through the cervix and uterus and travel to the fallopian tubes where they may find an egg.

  • Now if the egg and sperm unite, travel down to the uterus together, and implant in the uterine wall, then the process of pregnancy has begun.

  • Some people get pregnant with the help of a doctor through a process called artificial insemination.

  • This is when semen is injected into the cervix or uterus by a health care provider.

  • The sperm must travel up to the fallopian tube and unite with an egg.

  • The fertilized egg travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus and implants in the wall, and then the process of pregnancy has begun.

  • Alternatively, doctors can bring a sperm and egg together completely outside of the body in a laboratory and then later insert the fertilized egg into the uterus.

  • This process is called in vitro fertilization.

  • All of these methods may lead to pregnancy.

  • Over the course of nine months, the fertilized egg grows into a fetus and develops organs and bodily functions until it's ready to be born.

  • Pregnancy and childbirth are just one way a family can be formed.

  • Some people choose to adopt children and some people choose not to have children at all.

  • Oh my god, it was horrible.

  • I thought babies were supposed to be cute and sleep all day.

  • Who knew they could be so loud?

  • Anyway, until next time, don't forget to visit me at Amaze.org or go to my YouTube channel to watch more.

  • Bye.

Yeah, of course, I can babysit tonight, Mrs. Robinson.
