How is a fetus developed in the eighth month?

Answer 1

In the second month, the embryo is only about an inch long. However, it's beginning to look much more like a baby at this stage.

The tail is gone, and arms and feet (along with fingers and toes) have formed. Eyes are developed with eyelids sealed shut. Also formed are the ears, a nose tip, and a tongue.

All major body organs and systems are present, but they all still have a great deal of development to go through.

Then embryo will make spontaneous movements, but it will be many weeks before those movements will be strong enough for you to feel them.

The placenta, which serves as the baby's life support system, is currently being busily built.

Answer 2

At the third month, your baby is now called a fetus. It is growing very rapidly.

By the end of the third month, the fetus is between 2.5 to 3 inches in length and weighs in at about 1.5 ounces. It is about the size of an apple.

The head, which is supported now by a neck instead of sitting flat on the shoulders, is still disproportionately large. The head takes up half of the baby's crown-to-rump length. The whorl of a hair pattern is discernible on the scalp.

The fetus' eyes are moving closer together and the ears are positioning on the sides of the head, which makes the fetus look more human. Fingers and toes have very soft nails covering them and the hands are now more functional.

Inside of the fetus' mouth, little taste buds have developed as well as the sucking reflex. Twenty small buds are present and will one day become the baby teeth after birth.

The fetus can now make urine and will excrete it into the amniotic fluid. The external genitalia are now developed enough to detect the gender of the fetus. The heartbeat can also now be heard with a Doppler.

Answer 3

By the end of the fourth month, the fetus is about 5 inches in length and weighs about 5 ounces. The body is finally catching up to the head, and is growing faster than the head. The fetus is starting to reach more human proportions.

Fingerprints and toe prints have developed as well as temporary hair (lanugo) throughout the body. The fetus can now suck his or her own thumbs! For baby girls, the uterus is formed and the ovaries are equipped with primitive egg cells. Bones are getting harder and the arms and legs are moving.

The fetus can also swallow amniotic fluid and pass it as urine. It can make practice breathing movements.

The placenta is fully functional and it serves as the baby's source of nourishment and oxygen for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Answer 4

By the end of the sixth month, the fetus is over a foot long and weights close to two pounds.

The fetus becomes even more coordinated in movement such as pedaling its feet and pushing them against the uterine wall as possibly a practice to walking. It has developed quite a strong grip, usually to grasp hold of the umbilical cord. Don't worry though, the umbilical cord is designed to withstand all of the fetus' activities. The umbilical cord is made of a tough, spiral composition that helps prevent kinks or knots. The fetus' eyes can finally open and close and react to light. It may even use its hands to shield its eyes if a very bright light is shone on the mother's belly! Vocal cords are functioning, but the fetus won't be able to make a sound until its first cry after birth. Hiccups are common and make shake the uterine home often. A baby born now can survive with intensive care.

Answer 5

By the end of the seventh month, the fetus is gaining weight quickly. More fat is deposited under the fetus' skin and it will weigh in at about 3 pounds and measure about 16 inches in length.

Lanugo, the fuzz on the fetus' body, has started to disappear and is usually only on the back and shoulders by this point. Hair is starting to grow on its head, but the amount of hair varies from fetus to fetus. Eyebrows and eyelashes are now present. Nails have reached the tops of the fingers and toes.

The skin is pink and smooth. The irises in the eyes of light-skinned fetuses are blue, while dark-skinned fetuses are more likely brown. The final color won't be discernible until many weeks after birth.

Brain growth in this month up until delivery will be rather dramatic. It will continue to grow rapidly throughout the first two years of life after birth. The lungs, although still immature, are beginning to function.

A baby born at this stage has a very good chance of survival.

Answer 6

By the end of the eighth month, the fetus is about 18 to 20 inches in length and weighs about 5 to 6 pounds. It is gaining weight at a rate of about 1/2 ounce per day.

The fetus now looks plump and less wrinkly as fat deposits fill out its form. Creases have formed around the wrists and neck and dimples have started to appear on elbows and knees.

With the fetus' uterine home becoming increasingly cramped, the fetus has little room for movement. You'll feel less vigorous kicking but more twisting and wiggling to get comfortable.

The fetus will have regular periods of REM (active sleep), deep sleep, active wakefulness, and quiet wakefulness. Brain growth continues fantastically. The lungs are approaching maturity.

A baby born now has an excellent chance of survival and being completely healthy.

Answer 7

It develops over a nine month period by following the instructions of it's DNA and drawing upon the resources of the mother for growth.

Answer 8

During the second trimester, usually 13 to 28 weeks after conception, the fetus will take a more recognizable human features. Features include arms, legs and even sexual organs.
