By 8 weeks, the embryo had grown between approximately 3 and 4cm, has a recognisable heartbeat and the beginnings of eyes, ears and a mouth. At this stage, it’s known as a foetus. During the remaining 7 months, all the organs continue to develop and by 20 weeks, the foetus will have reached about half its length at birth and by 32 weeks, it will be about half its birth weight.…
Physical Development – This is where the formation of a person will start, it starts off when the sperm fuses with the egg and from then development will happen right through the weeks. It will start off with the head, notochord and spinal cord developing. From then on more features will branch off and develop. At three weeks you have the embryo becoming c shaped and the umbilical cord starts to form. Then at five weeks your organs will start forming slowly these would include your gut, stomach, liver, start getting your heart bulge and intestinal loop. Then up to six weeks when your eyes are visible and mouth, this is where the ears and nose will start forming while your limps grow rapidly from tiny buds. Then at eight weeks the face is more human and the tail is gone. During the remaining months all the organs have developed. At 20 weeks the foetus would have reached half of its length before birth. By 32 weeks the foetus would have reached half its weight before birth. Finally at 9 months it will be born it will be fully developed and ready to start life as a child.…
In the third month of pregnancy a baby will develop a recognizable form. Arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet and toes are fully formed. Now the baby will have developed most organs and tissues. The foetus is now around 6cm long.…
Journey To a Natural Birth The article, “Women’s use of complementary and alternative medicine: a Journey to normal birth” by Mary Mitchell seeks to dive into the motivations of why many women choose to go the route of using complementary and alternative medicine rather than the traditional route of using epidurals, cesarean section and other medical interventions. In order to go about this, Mitchell and a group of researchers at the University of West England gathered a group of fourteen women who have used at least one form of CAM method during their pregnancy or their childbirth. Mitchell and her peers used a narrative method to collect information from participants of the study. The narrative method can be defined as a form of observational research, where information is gathered to analyze collected data through and writing and reporting through storytelling (Ethnography, Observational Research and Narrative Inquiry).…

The zygote cell is the first stage of the embryo. The zygote contains DNA from both parents which create a unique new identity that has never existed. That is the start of a baby, therefore a pregnancy is not just the woman and her body; new life has already begun since the zygote has the four criteria needed to establish biological life which include growth, metabolism, reaction to a stimuli, and reproduction. About 22 days after conception the baby’s heart begins to circulate its own blood and a heartbeat can be detected and by six weeks that same baby has facial features and brain activity has begun. By after just 10 short weeks, still in the first trimester, the baby can…
Prenatal development describes the period of time from a baby’s conception to the day parents welcome him or her into the world. This time period is full of remarkable changes that have a dramatic impact on an individual’s development later in life. Learning about the earliest developmental processes allows us to better understand the foundation upon which development throughout the lifespan is built.…

Once the embryo is attached to the uterus wall a chemical signal stops the woman from having another menstrual period. After a period of eight weeks the embryo may have grown to between 3 and 4cm and have a recognisable heartbeat and the beginning of eyes, ears, a mouth, legs and arms. At this stage the growing organism is called a foetus.…
Foetal development- human life begins with conception. If sexual intercourse takes place while the egg is in the fallopian tube, there is a possibility of conception. Just one sperm may fertilise the egg. Fertilisation means that the genetic material in the egg to start a new life. Pregnancy then begins when a sperm penetrates an egg. One to one and a half days later, the single fertilised egg cell begins to divide. After two or three days there are enough new cells to make the fertilised egg the size of a pin head. This collection of cells travels to the lining of the uterus where is becomes anchored. The developing collection of cells is now called an embryo. After eight weeks, the embryo may have grown to between 3 and 4cm, has a recognisable heartbeat and the beginnings of eyes, ears, a mouth, legs and arms. At this stage the growing organism is called a foetus. During the remaining seven months before birth, the organs continue to develop. By 20 weeks, the foetus will have reached about half the length of the baby at birth. By 32 weeks, the foetus will be about half its birth weight.…
Pregancey usally starts when a sperm penetrates an egg inside an women. The single fertilized egg cell starts to dicide after about one day and a half. Within two to three days there are a good amount of new cells to form to create a fertilized egg the size as a pin head. The pack of cells travel to the uterus where there it starts to anchored. The pack of developing cells will then now be called an embryo which is attached to the wall on the uterus by the placenta. As soon as the embryo is attached to the uterus wall it self, the women will not have her menstrual due to a chemical signal stopping it.by eitgh wekks the embryo should have grown between three to four cm long and have a regonisable heartbeat also the beginning of eyes. Ears, amouth, legs and arms. Round about this time the organism growing is called a foetus.…
