Fetal Development When Pregnant

By Jodu Ann Miller


The expansion of the baby in the womb is an amazing state including conception, embryonic development (1st growth) and fetal development (final expansion). Throughout the 9 month process, the baby undergoes truly engaging changes. Below are examples of the common development stages and what to expect in every one.

Conception

In order for the baby to have the best chance of survival, the body must first make prepared the womb. About two weeks before the act of conception, the uterus starts to produce a very blood rich layer of tissue on its inner lining. The purpose of this is to offer a rich and fertile environment for which to trap the egg.

During the act of conception, the sperm travels thru the fallopian tubes to where the egg is resting. Once fertilized, the body naturally drops the egg, which makes the winding journey down, and eventually, the egg lands on the soaked tissue. Once the egg lands safely enough, it starts the next stage of development.

The Embryonic Development

This stage is perhaps the most important and fantastic step for any life to bear. Lasting from weeks 2 thru 11, this stage underpins the complex development of all of the major organs of the baby.

Directly after conception, the egg begins to form attachments to the wealthy blood infused tissue, this can eventually become the placenta that feeds, feeds and protects the baby. Once the cells start to divide, the egg is barely obvious any more. Instead , a little bud is formed, which may grow, quite quickly as the month's progress.

Finally, all of the baby's major systems start to develop, and by week 6, the critical heartbeat can be uncovered. This is, perhaps, the most enthralling validation of life for most parents.

Right before week 11, the end of this stage of development, all of the main features of the baby are starting, or have are formed. Even the teeth, which developed by week eight, are concealed beneath the gums. The brain and spine, joints and irises of the eye will have begun to turn up as well.

Fetal Development (Week by Week Pregnancy)

By week 11 the baby isn't classified as an embryo; the small one is now called a fetus. This is the longest stage of the pregnancy.

In week 11 up until about week 16, the baby will start to develop their sex organs, hair, finger nails, vocal cords, their bones begin to toughen, and then their kidneys as well as the liver begin to operate properly. All these events happen in such a short span of five weeks.

For the next 10 weeks or thereabouts the baby begins to consolidate all of the expansion, making the organs stronger, keeping them alive, and infusing them with life. Come about week 16, as if the prior development was not enough, the baby goes through a major expansion spurt. At that point in the development process, the skin and fat start to form. The heart will begin to pump 25-quarts of blood daily and waste products begin to build in the bowls.

During this time, the baby will start its own sleep cycle and even begin to hiccup! Character, movement, and the beginning of the critical bond with the surrounding environment begin to occur.

By week 21 till about week 24, male babies ' gonads will descend. Eyebrows and eyelids will be utterly formed and the growth of the fetus will slow down. By the end of this period, the baby should weigh about 1.3 pounds.

Although a baby born in the 28th week has about a 96% likelihood of surviving, they could still have trouble respiring. Baby lung development occurs in week 29 and does not fully mature until birth. Children born before the lungs are developed are given lower birth rates, as the medications they must be given are so extreme. It is best if the baby continues with its development in the womb.

By Week 37, the baby starts preparing for the outside world. He starts to fatten up by accelerating his weight by about an oz. a day. She also begins to develop immunities against the environment outside her mother's womb thru the sharing of nutriments across the placenta.

From week 37 up till week 40, the baby is considered full term. At about that point, the baby's possibilities of survival are good.

The wonderful world of pregnancy and baby development is a pretty and awe electrifying journey. From just a. Single cell, so tiny that it can barely be seen, to a joyous, crying and bounding baby, the development cycle is actually engaging.
