The placenta begins to form shortly after fertilization, specifically around the end of the second week of pregnancy, during the implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall. By the end of the third week, the placenta is further developed, facilitating nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and the developing fetus. Its growth continues throughout the pregnancy, providing essential support for fetal development.

When does the amniotic sack and placenta form?

The amniotic sac develops from the outer membranes surrounding the embryo, starting around the second week of pregnancy, while the placenta begins to form from the trophoblast cells that surround the developing embryo around the same time. By the end of the first trimester, both structures are well-established, providing essential support and protection for the growing fetus.
