Fetal Development
Fetal development refers to the stages of development of the fetus. In humans, there are three stages of development, divided into three trimesters. The fetus continues to develop from the day of conception until it is born after nine months.

The ability of the fetus to survive outside the uterus is called?
Viability....which is possible at 20 weeks.
Can a healthy fetus starts it's heart beat at 8th week?
No, I'm sorry. A healthy embryo has a heart beat that may be detected at 4 weeks gestation on a good ultrasound, by 5 to 6 weeks the heart rate should be 90 to 110 beats per minute.
The first weeks of pregnancy is such a delicate process, things can go wrong, in this very early stage of development. Such early loss is very hard for expectant parents, especially if they have been trying to conceive for some time.
Fortunately this is not a sign of the way the things always work out, most women who have a very early loss have no problem conceiving again and having a healthy pregnancy.
Can you not gain weight during an entire pregnancy and still have a healthy baby?
no not really. if in the entire 9 months of pregnancy there was no weight gained i would say that the baby would not be healthy. unless the mother had enough weight from the beginning to accommodate the baby's nutritional needs.
Yes you can have a healthy baby, I lost 30kg in my pregnancy due to morning sickness and my baby had a score of 10/10 when born, this time I'm pregnant with my 2nd and the doctor told me it will be ok to lose a little weight this time, not too much and not too fast. Good Luck.
In which trimester of pregnancy does the embryo develop brainwaves and a beating heart?
The heart begins to beat at the end of 3 weeks. Our 'reptilian brain' develops within the first two months, but our conscious thought does not develop until six months into the pregnancy.
What human features does a fetus show?
The Foetus shows only some human features, such as;
- The head
- The outline of a brain
- The tail of the body (as there are no feet yet)
- The back/spine
- The outline of the arms
Hope this helps :)
Causes of umbilical cord bleeding in male adults?
Male adults doesn't have umbilical cords. They are cut off from the placenta when they are born.
Does the nutrition of the mother affects the fetus?
Yes.
The fetus can't decide what to eat or drink, it gets everything from the mother. If the mother gets what she needs, then the fetus can get what it needs. If the mother is eating junk, then the fetus is getting junk. If the mother does drugs, some of those are passed on to the fetus as well.
Sometimes, babies born by addicted mothers have to go straight to rehab to cure them of their addicitions.
When does the baby start moving inside of you?
There is no set time that you will begin to notice your baby move on the outside. You will feel it move inside first, usually around 20 weeks, but often several weeks earlier. Noticeable external movement will depend on your size (how much extra tissue (i.e. fat) there is between your uterus and your skin), whether you've been pregnant before, the size of the baby, and the position of the baby. If the baby is facing outward (its back toward your backbone), it will be easier to see movement.
Does a baby cry only after umbilical cord is cut?
No, babies cry once their nose and mouth have been suctioned so that they can breathe the air around them. This is why babies can be safely delivered in water since they don't automatically start breathing.
3 out of 5 pregnancies turn out to be miscarriages, this seems like a lot, but most of these occur very very early on, often when the woman doesn't know she is pregnant and it can't be picked up by a pregnancy test, scary thought !
At what stage of pregnancy should you feel your baby move on a regular basis?
You should feel regular movement in starting in the 4th month. Karen Erdman
No, the male/female characteristic relies solely on the chromosome with which the female egg was fertilized with. Xx=female xy=male
Does a calcium and vitamin D deficiency in early childhood cause Talipes?
No, talipes is a congenital deformity, it is not caused by nutritional deficiency.
How do you get identical and non identical twins?
Identical twins are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
How can you get a dead fetus out the womb?
Same as with an abortion but it depends on how far gone you are. If we are talking the very end of a normal pregnancy they recommend like a natural birth. It helps dealing with the grief process. A c-section is considered to invasive.
Medical AbortionA medical abortion uses two types of medicine to end a pregnancy instead of surgery. The first medication will either be an injection of methotrexate, or a tablet form of mifepristone (also known as RU-486). They both affect the body differently, so your doctor will help you decide which medication will be better for you. Methotexate stops the ongoing process of implantation of an early pregnancy. Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which causes the lining of the uterus to break down and end the pregnancy. 2 A second medication, misoprostol is taken in tablet form and will cause the uterus to contract and drain. A return visit is needed to ensure the abortion is complete. Medical Abortions are only an option during the first trimester of pregnancy. 2Bleeding may occur after the first drug and this bleeding may be light or it may be like a heavy period. The misoprostol usually causes cramping and bleeding within a few hours of taking the medication. The cramps will last for several hours, and many women will pass blood clots as they are aborting. Misoprostol causes the most common side effects, which include: headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chills, or fatigue. 1 Cramps and bleeding will usually decrease after the embryonic tissue has been passed; however, bleeding may last for one to two weeks after the abortion.
Surgical AbortionSurgical abortion is one of the safest types of medical procedures. The three most common methods of surgical abortion are manual vacuum aspiration, dilation and suction curettage, and dilation and evacuation. The method that will be used depends on how long you have been pregnant, or the number of days since the first day of your last period.The manual vacuum aspiration, or MVA, can be done as soon as you know you are pregnant and up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. The abortion provider will insert an instrument, called a speculum into your vagina to hold the vaginal walls apart. The provider will usually numb the cervix, the opening to the uterus, with a local anesthetic before gradually widening (dilating) it. When the cervix is about as big around as a drinking straw, the provider inserts a small tube attached to a suction apparatus (similar to the one dentists use the clear the mouth of saliva). The machine will gently suction out the contents of the uterus through the tube; therefore, ending pregnancy. 1 This procedure takes about ten minutes. 2
The dilation and suction curettage method has the same procedure as the MVA; however, the provider will then check the walls of the uterus with a small, narrow metal loop called a curette. The curette is used to clean the walls to be sure no tissue remains. 2 This method is performed six to fourteen weeks after your last period and will take about ten minutes.
The dilation and evacuation method is a two-part procedure that can be done up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. The doctor will slowly open the cervix and will use medical instruments, suction, and curettage to complete the procedure. 2 Abortions are not usually performed after 24 weeks unless there is a serious health reason.
During the procedure, and for a short time afterward, women may have strong cramping. Spotting or bleeding like a period may last for a few days or weeks. Complications are rare, but include infection, excessive bleeding, a tear in the cervix or uterus, incomplete abortion, or a continuing pregnancy.
What is the effect of too much caffeine on a fetus?
it may cause mild problems to the baby nothing serious the worst you can have is child with ADD. {ATTENTION DEFICIETE DISORDER}
What does it mean when your fetus measures 1-2 weeks too small in the 28th week?
It's a little bit behind in its growth. The doctor/midwife will keep a close eye on you for the remainder of your pregnancy and may send you for an ultrsound to check the growth.
Year when ultra sound was used to determine babys sex?
I had my youngest child in early 1986. The doctor had an ultrasound machine, which wasnt like they are today, and told me he believed the baby was a boy. But that was only a 75% guess. I was about 23 weeks then. He even sent his nurse from the room before he would say. No pictures or dvd's back then. I never had any scan with my previous pregnancies and they were 1977 and 1979.
Can I move out at the age of sixteen in Iowa if I have a baby?
No. Being pregnant/giving birth does not emancipate a minor in any state of the US. You are still subject to the control and authority of your parents, and your parents are still responsible for you.
How does the heart change as it develops in the fetus?
At first, it only has 1 chamber. Then, as the development progresses, it goes to 2, then to 3, and finally, to 4.
What is Washing of the womb and how it is done?
It is the process OF CLEANING THE ENDOMETRIUM OF THE WOMB. When manophase appears the endo metrium get fibroid and start to bleed more during final manstruation. most women experience severe pain before this and suffer for weeks.
