            Changes in the uterus begin with fertilisation and it becomes a place where the baby will
            spend nine months in security and comfort. The uterus increases in size and provides a
            protective shelter for the embryo. All the preparations are made by cells in the uterus.
            There is only one explanation for the fact that these cells are aware of what another cell
            needs, that is, these cells move according to the inspiration of Almighty God.
