Fetal Development

Some people can by their third pregnancy because they know what the feeling is like. It's not unusual, although it is also possible that it may be because you are slightly further on than you though you were

A fully formed miniature human being who basically needs 12 more weeks to put on fat, and brain/nervous system continue to mature, but 28 weeks is the magic number where, if born,would have excellent chances of survival.

Some people think that the fetus starts out as a girl and then grows into a boy or stays a girl. They're wrong since embryos are genotypically a boy or a girl at the time of conception. The chromosomes they inherit make them either XX(girl) or XY(boy). Because a female is XX, she will always contribute an X chromosome, but because a male has both, X and Y (XY), the male could either contribute an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Therefore, the males determine the sex of the baby.

That would depend on what you mean by "a lot." Considering the fact that the baby has almost no room to move at 39 weeks, decreased movement is normal. Complete lack of movement is not. If you are concerned, go to your doctor and have him/her listen for the heartbeat.

The splitting of the cells causes growth inside the womb. Another cause for growth in the womb is good nutrition. Many doctors will prescribe special vitamins to enhance a baby's chance for survival without defects of the fetus.

Yes, a fetus is a baby. Not one hundred percent developed, however. One definition of a Foetus is an unborn or unhatched vertebrate in the later stages of development showing the main recognizable features of the mature animal.

I saw my baby's heart beat via ultrasound at 14 weeks and 3 days

Aspirin-based pain relievers are a cause for concern because of the possibility, though rare, of interaction with viral activity to cause Reye's Syndrome, a serious disorder that can lead to brain and liver damage. The AAP pediatrician group recommends not giving aspirin to children or infants where fever is present, except as prescribed by a physician.

Implantation can start to occur as soon as 6-10 days after retrieval (I use "after retrieval" because embryos can be transferred on different days of development. Count the retrieval day as day 0). Five days after the retrieval a healthy embryo will have reached the blastocyst stage. Six-seven days after the retrieval, a healthy embryo will start breaking out of its hard outer shell and begin the implantation process. After the healthy embryo has implanted in the uterus it will not start secreting hCG for several more days. You will probably not be able to feel the implantation process.

Most breeds are fully feathered by two months old and ready to lay at 5 months.

This will vary by breed. A young hen before she reaches one full year is called a pullet.

Hens are usually on the down side of prime egg production by 24 months.

First, the penis must be inserted into the vagina. The penis will release the sperms (male sex cell) into the womb. Then, the sperm meets the egg (female sex cell). Then, they fuse together. The fertilised egg starts to divide to make more cells. It attaches itself to the wall of the mothers womb and continue to develop and grow. Soon, organs begin to form and the baby gets its nutrients from its mother through the umbilical cord. About nine months after fertilisation, the baby is born.

Here is a link to a great website with photos showing the baby's development from week to week!

after the gestational age of 12 weeks, all baby's develop at different rates. i would assume your baby would probably be between 1-2 pounds, but could be bigger or smaller based on your lifestyle (smokers have smaller babies) and health factors (women with diabetes have larger babies, women with IUGR (intra-uterine growth retardation - a medical condition where the baby's growth is restricted while in the womb) tend to have little infants. the best way to estimate the size of your infant is to have your doctor perform an ultrasound (keep in mind the ultrasound is not always accurate - it's just an estimate) hope this helps.

actually they have a lot of fun in there. they sleep and when they arent they kick and stretch its a miracle it really is and they also grow and go through different stages

ThE baby has died.

Sometimes you can feel the baby dropping, especially with your first. It gives a little wriggle and a squirm and you suddenly need to urinate. With a second and subsequent baby it often does not drop until you go into labor.

Enlarged ventricles in the brain have actually been found in relation to schizophrenia. Many who suffer from this disorder have enlarged ventricles and it seems they grow over time. I do not know how this would work with a fetus, but I would definitely bring it up to the doctor, even if the baby has all ready been born and growing up. It could hold problems in the future.

Because most of the time their brain size is larger than most people thus greater connnections can be made which is very similar to that of a cro magnon. Their heads are actually normal sized and the people you see everyday have shrunken heads due to years of undersidrable traits getting past down including smaller brain size.

200 for an average baby. but for a baby who just drank a big pot of coffee is 750. oh let me tell ya never give your kid coffee. they'd be bouncing of the walls more then grandma on Christmas morning after she opens her present of granny pannies.

It takes about two to six hours for your body to digest and absorb the food you eat and pass it into your breast milk.

Well, first of all, if you know that you are 5 days pregnant. Don't drink!!! It can cause severe complications for your unborn baby. If you have already drank at 5 days pregnant, you need to be sure to consult your OB/GYN at your next appointment. It is hard to say whether or not your baby will suffer from FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) without any more information because I do not know what kind of alcohol you drank or how much. For example, 1/2 of a Smirnoff Ice is going to be safer than drinking a Jack and Coke. I am by no means saying that any amount of alcohol consumption is safe during pregnancy, so I am not recommending that you drink 1/2 of a Smirnoff Ice. It is important that you understand the dangers of drinking while you are pregnant. Your child can suffer from slow development skills, slow development of motor skills, organ dysfunction, heart defects, pre-term labor, pre-mature birth, low birth weight, small head circurmference and more. So think really hard about what you are risking when you drink while you are pregnant.

well... there are about 4 weeks in a month, so 20/4=5

congrats

In the woman's uterus

The organ where the developing fetus resides is called the uterus. This is where the fetus grows and matures inside the female.

At nine weeks pregnant your baby weighs about 2 grams and is about 1inch (about the same size of an olive). Your baby is developing nipples and hair follicles this week. This week your baby will start to develop either his male or her female parts! Your baby is also beginning to move but you will not be able to feel the movements just yet.
