How do I get pregnant?

A woman becomes pregnant through sexual intercourse or other sexual activities when sperm from the man travels up through the woman's vagina and into her uterus. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg in the woman and the living human embryo implants itself in the uterus wall.
