Fetal Development

Reggie was a half inch shorter than Ronnie. Reggie was 5 foot 7 inches tall.

Yes. However your breasts are leaking Colostrum or pre-milk and not breastmilk. Breastmilk doesn't arrive until a day or two after the baby is born.

Humans have an average gestation period (time of pregnancy) of 280 days.

At 34 weeks, the fetus is roughly 18inches (45cm) from top to toe

It could, but that depends on how much the infection has spread and how much damage it's done.

Not always but this is something you should speak to the doctor about when you have the ultrasound. They can tell you everything while you are there and have all your medical info.

At two weeks after conception you have a mass of cells that have the potential to form a baby, the placenta and umbilical cord.

At eight weeks the dividing cells start to resemble the human form with a spinal column, brain stem, little buds forming arms and legs, with a beating heart and circulatory system.

By nine weeks the little feet measure about 7 mm, with toes formed.

The answer is yes. I currently have a daughter whose water broke at 26 weeks and she is now at 29 weeks and in the hospital until she delivers. The baby continues to make the fluid and her head is down close to where the hole in the sac is located. There is risk of infection, of course, but she had a round of anti-biotics. Another consideration is the baby's position in relation to the cord, so she is put on the baby monitor regularly. They are trying to get her to 34 weeks, and she has been through some contractions, but none that would make delivery necessary. As she also has placenta previa, her occasional bleeding is more of a problem than the water breaking. Infection is a reason deliver, and also if the baby is experiencing distress on the monitor.

So, yes, the water can break and in my daughter's case, she is still pregnant and hoping for every day "Ann" gets to stay in the womb!

baby can die, the cource of heart beat has stopped. this is not your falt.

forms of retardation and the size of the parents heads. and the use of drugs while pregnant

racisem started in 1785 in south Africa on the 21st of august

the yock sac supplies nutrients

Yes. Babies can be stillborn at any stage of the pregancy, regardless of hospital care, and the risk is much higher in the case of drug overdoses.

Trophoblasts

because fetal bones fuse together

A baby does not grow in the stomach. It grows in the uterus. The stages are: . First trimester (weeks 1-12) . Second trimester (weeks 13-26) . Third trimester (weeks 27-40)

maybe because there isn't enough nutrients in the blood suppy to the egg

You can not say this. but healthy hair and nails are a sign that the person is healthy.

The uterus, also called, 'womb'. (pronounced "Woom")

Esophagus develops from foregut and by week 10 is lined by ciliated epithelial cells.

-Beginning at 4 months, the ciliated epithelium starts to be replaced by squamous epithelium. At either end of the esophagus the ciliated epithelium gives rise to esophageal glands.

-The upper esophagus is derived from branchial arches 4, 5, and 6, but the derivation of the lower esophagus is not known.

-The development of various elements of esophageal wall requires coordination of a variety of genes and mediators.

-Esophageal peristalsis appears in the first trimester, and gastroesophageal reflux can be documented in the second trimester.

no because the fetus is probably hiding so just keep up with your u/s and hopefully next time something should be detected but the next time you go and your positive your pregnant and nothing shows up then you go to the hospital

that is not a heartbeat of a baby. it was your heartbeat..had the same thing happen to me! that is not a heartbeat of a baby. it was your heartbeat..had the same thing happen to me!

in the placenta they are curled up in a ball, they are about the size of an apple

if you listen very carefully you will hear an auh auh auh yes and then there will a pouring sound from the tea cup while we are eating custard creams and of course... shagging each other

Yes babies can dream while in the womb.
