Development of Your Baby- From Single Cell to Human Being
Isn’t it quite amazing, how a single cell develops into a tiny little human being in the mother’s womb? The development of your baby is nothing short of a miracle. It takes 9 months for this miracle to happen. And you become a proud mom.
The First Phase of Pregnancy
How does the baby develop in the first trimester of pregnancy? When the male sperm fertilizes the female ovum, you become pregnant. Soon the eyes, limb buds and other organs begin to form. Within 25 days of pregnancy, the little fetus’s heart begins to pump blood. By The sixth week of pregnancy, you will realize you are pregnant. The fetus is approximately ½ an inch long and weighs close to an ounce. By the end of the first trimester, the development of your baby like the brains, lungs, and liver and the embryo takes a more human form.
The Second Phase
In the second trimester, your baby makes rapid strides of development. The organs develop fast and the eyes and ears form clearly. The muscles get stronger and your baby’s hair, eyelids, and nails take shape. During this period, the genitals also begin to form.
The Third and Final Phase
It is the 7th month now and you are in your third trimester of pregnancy. Your baby’s development is very fast at this stage. The brain continues to develop and the baby grows in size. The baby opens and closes its eyes now and its skin is developed enough to react to touch. As the baby grows bigger, you will start to feel heavier. You must be careful, take as much rest as possible, and avoid standing for long periods or lifting heavy objects.
By the end of the 9th month, the development of your baby is complete. It has dropped to take its birth position into your lower abdomen. It will soon be ready for delivery. So there, you almost have your tiny little bundle of joy in your arms. Wish you a safe and healthy, happy delivery.
