Gestational circulation refers to the changes that occur in a woman's circulatory system during pregnancy. These changes are necessary to support the developing fetus, such as increased blood volume and heart rate, as well as alterations in blood flow to the placenta. Gestational circulation typically returns to normal levels after childbirth.
The heart begins beating.

No, gestational diabetes has to do with insulin resistance in the mother, causing an increase of sugar in the blood, causing rapid weight gain in the fetus.
The development of the neural tube, heart, lungs, and other internal structures begins in the embryonic stage of development, specifically during the third week of gestation. The process starts with the formation of the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The neural tube forms from the ectoderm, while the heart and lungs develop from the mesoderm. These structures undergo complex processes of differentiation and organogenesis as the embryo grows.
The heart begins to pump blood early in development to establish a functional circulatory system that is crucial for supplying nutrients and oxygen to rapidly growing tissues and organs. This early circulation helps remove waste products and supports cellular metabolism, which is vital for proper embryonic development. Additionally, the heart's early activity lays the foundation for the development of other organ systems that rely on a stable blood supply.

During embryologic development, there are two umbilical veins, left and right, that drain blood from the placenta to the heart. The right umbilical vein regresses and under normal circumstances is completely obliterated during the second month of development. The left umbilical vein persists and delivers blood from the placenta to the developing fetus. The diameter of the intra-abdominal umbilical vein increases linearly, from 3 mm at 15 weeks of gestation to 8 mm at term.
During week 4 of embryonic development, significant events include the formation of the heart, which begins to beat and pump blood, and the development of the neural tube, which eventually becomes the central nervous system. Additionally, limb buds start to appear, indicating the early formation of arms and legs. The basic body plan of the embryo continues to take shape as organogenesis begins.
