How long does it take an egg to turn into a fetus?
You've got it confused I'm afraid - the embryo forms FROM the egg. It doesn't move anywhere. If you're talking about a bird or reptile egg, the shell forms around the embryo and yolk sac during its passage through the mother's body.
How can you determine the gender of baby after two Months of pregnancy?
They will usually find out during your first ultrasound.
Why does a fetus' heart beat stop?
When a person's heart temporarily stops beating this is called sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen due to congestive heart failure, inflammation of the heart, heart attack and cardiomyopathy.
Is it possible for a mother to give birth to a pregnant baby?
No. Although a girl is born with all her eggs, she does not start ovulating, or releasing eggs, until she enters puberty.
When do fetus start feeding through the placenta?
A developing fetus is supplied with its needs for metabolism and growth from the mother via the placenta.
Is stressing really bad for your unborn baby?
Yes it is ! Stress from the mother can be 'transmitted' to the baby in the womb. They may not be aware of what stress is - but they certainly feel it !
When does the baby actually alive?

16 weeks 4 days and still haven't felt baby move?
I am 24 weeks 3 days pregnant and I have the same problem as you. I asked my midwife about it 2 weeks ago and she said that their is a good chance that I have an anterior placenta, meaning that the placenta is in front of the baby. She said that because of this when the baby moves that the placenta absorbs the hit. She suggested that I drink a full glass of orange juice let it set in, then jiggle my belly around and lay very still on the ground. She said then your partner should watch your stomach especially the sides and see if they see any movement. She said usually the movement will be felt on the sides because the baby can try to kick around the placenta. Hope this helps.
Do you feel babies heartbeat in womb?
No you can't. If you can feel a pulse over your pregnant abdomen it is the large vessels in your uterus supplying the placenta.
When does brain develop in the womb?
The brain forms about 48 hours after conception biologically (not physically in terms of an organ).
The physical brain is being built quite early, well before 8 weeks. The child's brain can have brain activity at 8 weeks.

What substance can be passed from the mother to the foetus?
Carbon dioxide and other such waste gases diffuse from the foetus and across the placenta into the mother's blood. Urea (excretory product) also diffuses into the mother's blood. (The substances in bold will answer question).
How do you check for the baby's heart beat?
There are heart rate monitors that you can purchase that magnify the baby's heart rate, just like the one your doctor uses. You can also hear the baby's heart rate with a stethoscope. Have your doctor show you the difference between hearing the baby and hearing the placenta. The babies heart rate is faster 120 to 160 beats per minute. The placenta pulses with your heart rate and sometimes is louder than the baby.
If you have any concerns the movements of the baby are a good indication all is well with your baby. Tell your doctor any of your concerns. It is normal to have them. But real worries should be brought to your doctors attention. Mothers are amazingly perceptive/sensitive to their baby's well being even before birth.
What is the fluid called around the baby while in the womb?
The liquid that surrounds the baby in the womens uterus is call Amniotic fluid. This protects the baby when it is in the mothers womb. When your waters break this is what flushes out of the womens vagina. This happens because the baby is a about to be born and no longer needs this fluid to potect it.

How does LSD affect an unborn child?
To paraphrase Dr. Albert Hofmann (the creator of LSD who had studied it for twenty plus years before it's popularity in the sixties.) about this situation:
Lsd can not be proven to cause fetal deformalities. Since millions have taken LSD there should be many reports of problems if problems existed.
AnswerIt should also be recognized that Dr. Albert Hofmann found in early trials of LSD on animals that the drug had some negative effects on the uterus -- mainly that it caused uterine contractions, and presumably, that the fetus experienced some of the same effects of the drug as the mother. For this reason, it is strongy urged that pregnant women do not take LSD. Later, in the sixties and seventies, there were numerous tests done that argued LSD could cause chromosomal damage. However, the results of these tests were less than conclusive due to contested validity.All of that said, the best answer to this question is simple -- ask your doctor. So long as your doctor paid attention in ethics class, you won't be sent to jail (or fined), and you need to see if anything may be done for the child.
I would definitely say they don't go together.

How often should you feel your baby move at 25 weeks pregnant?
As long as you can feel the baby move every day you should be fine. Some days they are more active than others.
Once your baby begins its first movements, you should feel it move everyday. After the 5th month, if you have begun feeling movemements and the baby does not move for more that a 34 hour period, you cshould contact your doctor immediately. However some days, the movement might be minimal while other days you feel like the baby is dancing around inside of you. Just be aware of the movements and you should be fine.
What is the purpose of thickening the lining of the womb?
During the years between your first period and before menopause, the lining of the womb (endometrium) thickens monthly in preparation for potential pregnancy and is discharged as "period" if the woman doesn't become pregnant.
Can a baby live outside a womb at 15 weeks?
The age of viability is 24-26 weeks gestation, although a baby born that early will have some complications. A baby born at 20weeks gestation cannot survive outside of the womb; therefore, the further along the pregnancy, the greater the chances of survival for the fetus. Babies born very premature have immature lungs, brain functioning capabilities, skin is very fragile; therefore these babies are unable to regulate their body temperature. In other words the baby is most likely not going to survive.
Do you have to have a d and c when you miscarry baby at 20 weeks?
Your doctor was right in not giving you a D&C. As you were only three weeks pregnant when you had your miscarriage, the baby would have bled out of you and nothing would have been left inside you. D&C's are usually given to women who have miscarriages when they have carried the baby for at least 6 weeks. As you only carried it for half of that time, it was not necessary. All I can advise you to do is not to worry but to rest and grieve, support your partner as he is grieving too and let him know how you are feeling. Once you have completed your grieving period, you will begin to feel better.
