How a Baby Develops From Two Cells to an Individual
A pregnancy lasts 9 months or 39 weeks of pregnancy or 41 weeks of gestation (starting from first day of the last menstrual period).
During the first weeks of pregnancy, it takes about three days for the egg to travel the fallopian tubes and reach the uterus.
It is then 1 mm.
It is going to hang on the endometrium and sink in it to settle there.
It is called implantation.
During the second week, the egg continues to grow and the cells begin to organize.
The embryonic cells are separated into two layers: the stage of the embryo has two layers of cells.
One of these layers, which remains attached to the lining of the uterus, will become the baby, the other to supply the placenta, which will aim to establish a link with the mother and baby to provide the elements it needs to develop optimally.
At the end of the second week, the egg measures 1.
5 mm.
During the third week, a third layer of specific cells is emerging.
The embryo then has three layers of cells.
It is through these three layers that the body of unborn baby will be produced.
(1) The first of these layers makes the skin, nails, teeth and hair, nose, lips, breasts and all the nervous system, (2) The second forms the muscles, bones, heart, blood, reproductive organs, (3) The third forms the urethra and bladder, lungs, liver and digestive system.
The first blood cells are formed.
The egg becomes visible in the uterus by ultrasound, but for a greater vision, the gynecologist may perform a vaginal ultrasound.
The trend accelerates during the fourth week of pregnancy.
The nose begins to form, the heart starts beating.
The embryo is now living in a pocket that contains the amniotic fluid.
At the end of this week, the embryo is 4 mm.
This is the first month of pregnancy.
During the second month, the parts of the face such as eyes, nose and mouth are take shape and arms and legs are formed.
The brain begins to take shape.
At the end of it, the embryo measures about 3 inches and weighs 11 grams.
The uterus is then the size of a large orange.
During the third month of pregnancy, the embryo continues its development and becomes a fetus measuring about 12 centimeters and weighing 50 grams.
The body is normally constructed, as the hands and feet are formed.
The fetus begins to move in the abdomen, but the mother does not feel the movements at this stage.
During the fourth month, the organs are formed, the heart of baby beats about 140-150 beats per minute.
The first hairs grow.
The baby measures on average 15 centimeters and weighs 200 grams.
The uterus is already the size of a coconut.
This is the time when we finally feel the baby move.
It is also possible to see the sex of the child during the second ultrasound.
The baby measures 25 cm and weighs about 500 grams during the fifth month.
His eyes are closed, the lids welded.
The baby hears the sounds, he drinks the amniotic fluid.
His lungs are developed.
The baby moves a lot.
The uterus is now the size of a melon.
During the sixth month, the baby reaches the size of 30 cm weighing approximately 1 kg.
He sleeps between 18 to 20 hours per day and the rest of the time, continues to wriggle Baby measures ten centimeters to over 1.
8 kg during the seventh month of pregnancy.
If he were to be born at this stage, it would be viable.
He hears the sounds and voices around him.
The baby begins to feel a little cramped in the womb.
The last month of pregnancy (the eighth), the baby is already measuring 45 cm and weighs about 2.
5 kg.
It then grows to 250 g per week.
The ninth month arrives and everything is ready, your baby continues to grow and continues to gain weight to prepare for its arrival in the world, approximately 100 g per week.
It feels really cramped and moves less, measures about 50 cm and weighs generally around 3.
300 kg at the end.
The moment of birth has finally arrived.
