Fetal Development

Besides the mother's heart, a fetus would hear the mother's lungs expand and empty with each of her breaths, hear her sneeze and cough. A fetus would hear the mother's stomach growling when hungry, hiccups during indigestion, and the mother's normal bowel sounds (tinkles, clicks, rumblings). in addition, a fetus would hear movement of the amniotic fluid, much like being underwater in a swimming pool. And, of course, the fetus hears muffled voices, music, etc.

you are 3.72 months. pregnant.

Let me explain...

the average person would multiply 16 by 4...thinking that there is perfect 4 weeks in every single month. If you think that way then every single month would be 28 days long. (7x4=28..'which is 7 days in a week, and people use 4 weeks in a month') So anyways, there is actually 4.3 weeks in a month. So, you would take how ever many weeks you are and divide by 4.3..(this is where 9 month pregnancies come from...

40 weeks divided by 4.3 = 9.3 months.

Everyone thinks that pregnancies are supposed to be 10months these days...and that's NOT the case. It's always been '9' months...

So again...you're 3.7 months along. so you're 3 months 21 days..(ish)... lol

good luck.

Normal. With very very very little to no gain. you won't be able to notice you are pregnant until around 16-20 weeks but it also depends on your body; everyone is different but six weeks is way to early to see any change in your size of belly but fbreasts is a different story they are probably noticable larger!!

It depends on the person and how big the baby is and how you are carrying the baby. You could be carrying the baby towards your back or you could be carrying al forward! everybody is different. I am only 6 1/2 months and look like I am 8 months. But this is also my 4th child. Alot of women who have had children will start to show much earlier than women who are pregnant with their first!

If you are asking what the actual fetal abdominal circumference should be, as seen on ultra sound then the average is around 202 mm. It varies from fetus to fetus though and as long as growth is consistent a variation on the actual measurement is fine. The measurement is most useful when it is combined with the femur length measurement and the head circumference, although there are different schools of thought.

when the fetus kicks

At week 30, your baby is about 15 1/2 inches long and weighs around three pounds. The folds and wrinkles are developing in your baby's brain this week! Red-blood-cells are under complete control of your baby's bone marrow by week 30. Your baby's eyes are now open when he is awake!

10 1/2 inches long and 3 quarters of a pound. Checkout www.pregnancy.com you can see week by week of how you're baby looks and the different things you may experience. GOD BLESS

In addition to possible developmental problems and low birth weight caused by the mother's failure to take care of herself, the child may be born with a pre-disposition to addiction. If the mother uses frequently, the baby will be addicted when born, and its first experience on this Earth will be the pleasure of cocaine withdrawal.

Using any kind of drug while pregnant, without the permission of a doctor, is child abuse. People who do so should have their children removed from their care at birth.

fetus develops by the uterus not the vagina vagina is near the cervix which is the exit of the females body. so meaning fetus is developed by fertilization of the uterus then exits out the cervix and valgina

A fetus is the term for an unborn baby from the eighth week of pregnancy until birth. Before this, he or she is called an embryo.

ANOTHER ANSWER An UNBORN baby growing in a woman's womb is called a "fetus" until it is actually BORN. Then we call it a BABY! <<adr>>

Your body will protect the lil thing and when your belly gets hard you will not lay on it anyways since it will be too uncomfortable. Just listen to what your body is telling you. It's all common sense really.

Oxygen is carried from the mother to the fetus through the placenta and umbilical vein.

I have a bad cold right now and I have looked into this. My midwife says that the fetus is well protected. If you think that you have a fever, you should call your primary care doctor because an extremely high fever may overheat the fetus. Drink plenty of fluids and rest. That's what I am trying to (cough...cough) do right now. I have a bad cold right now and I have looked into this. My midwife says that the fetus is well protected.

A fedus at 8 weeks would probably be not so big but formed with fingers, a head, leggs. They still Do'nt have a brain though! A fedus at 8 weeks would probably be not so big but formed with fingers, a head, leggs. They still Do'nt have a brain though!

I believe the average is approximately 15.5 oz.

The human fetal heart begins beating about 22-23 days after conception. (Though the heart is not yet fully formed, cardiac muscle contractions have begun.) That's called the 5th week of pregnancy, since it's 5 weeks after the last period. The fetus at this stage is between 2 and 3 mm in size.

Sometimes it's possible to detect the heartbeat, with a Doppler instrument, almost this early, but usually the first such detection is later, around week 10, or at least by week 12. By week 21, the heart can be heard with a standard stethoscope.

Your baby is about 1/3- 1/4 inch long. He/she weighs less than one gram (which is about the weight of a paper clip!!!). At week 7, the baby's brain cells are growing 100 times a minute, arms/legs are starting to bud, and his face is becoming more defined this week! His eyes are open, although the does not have irises yet!

Babies are not ever in the mothers stomach they grow in the mothers uterus, in a placenta.>>>

I am improving the previous answer. Babies do NOT "grow in a placenta". The placenta is what the OTHER end of the umbilical cord is attached to (inside the mother, in the uterus)...this is the way it gets nourishment from the mother. Babies develop in the uterus after the mother's egg is fertilized by the father's sperm via sexual intercourse, or artificial insemination (a procedure performed by a doctor when a couple are having a hard time conceiving, 'getting pregnant', a baby.) The placenta is delivered within a few minutes of the baby.

my step sister had a baby and she had her first ultra sound at 2 months so yes i believe it's still early. Actually I had an Ultrasound done at 5 weeks and 5 days. They were able to see the sac, baby and pick up the heart beat at 122 bpm. So no, it it not too early to get an ultrasound.

According to a longitudinal study published in 1991, and done in the 1980's in Jamaica by Melanie Dreher, RN, PhD, FAAN, and funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the March of Dimes, at 3 days after birth, there was no difference in babies who were exposed to cannabis, and those who were not. After 30 days, the exposed babies did better on comprehensive evaluations than non-exposed babies. After 4 years, there was no significant difference between the two groups. At 5 years of age, after the children had started school, the McCarthy scale and something called "the home scale" again showed no difference between exposed children and non-exposed children. A video of a presentation of this study by Dr. Dreher at the Patients Out of Time Conference in Asilomar in July of 2008 is available <a href> http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=39313123&searchid=b4885688-abdb-4dac-b6b8-1ab5e62b525a

"here" </a>. NIDA did not continue funding the study at this point, because the study did not show the harm they expected to see.

You are 36 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 34 weeks) * The baby is about 19 inches (48 cm) long. * Weight is around 6 and a half pounds (3 kg). * The baby's body is becoming chubby as fat layers build. * Between now and birth they may gain about an ounce (30g) a day While it says that your baby weighs six and a half pounds this week and measures 19 inches long, this is only an estimate. In general, babies are gaining half a pound per week now. Baby continues gaining weight as fat deposits and is forming creases in the neck and wrists.

The doctor should be able to hear the babies heart beat with a Doppler after about 16 weeks. If you are more than 16 to 20 weeks pregnant and the doctor can not hear a heart beat then you need an ultrasound to make sure the baby is ok.
