Fetal Development

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.

X ray is not allowed to be done. You can see your baby on ultrasonography screen.

it passes oxygen and nutrients

At 6 weeks the shape you will see on the sonogram will resemble a little bean or peanut.

A normal heartbeat of a fetus at 6-7 weeks would be 90-110 beats per minute.

Giving birth can be painful but it pays off in the end

its like taking ur bottom lip and streching it over ur head to the back of ur neck!

It really hurt for the first baby but inproves for the second as the survix is already streched but it is worth it to have little boy or girl !! good Luck x

Yes that is a very strong heartbeat, heart rates should be between approximately 110 and 160 beats per minute, although they can reach as high as 170 or 180 and as low as 100 and still be considered normal. The average will vary from baby to baby and will rise and fall throughout pregnancy.

The Myth is that if your baby's heart rate is over 140 then it's a girl and if under then it's a boy. That's simply not proven. Just an old wives tale. A study of over 200 women done by the Journal of Reproductive Medicine in 1996 shows no truth to the myth.

An unborn baby's heart rate normally ranges from 120-160 beats per minute

ANYWAY here is the answer...THE FEMALE FETUS.

No. At 5 weeks pregnant the fetus is smaller than the width of your palm. You will be able to see the baby moving.

If you mean when you are 17 weeks pregnant, the heart rate is typically somewhere between 110-160 (although at that point, it may still be a little on the high side--the heart rate tends to be the fastest at the beginning of the pregnancy). If you mean how fast your baby's heart rate should be when he or she is 17 weeks old (after being born), it typically will be in the 90-160 range and will slow down over the next several years until it reaches the adult average of 60-100 by the teenage years. Hope this helps! Dr. B
