47
Q

Week 1: Overview

A
  • Fertilisation occurs when a sperm cell combines with an egg cell to form a zygote
  • Thirty hours after fertilisation, the process of cell division begins and will continue for life
  • After three days, the zygote consists of 16 cells
  • The zygote travels down the fallopian tube and into the uterus
48
Q

Week 2: Overview

A
  • Around a week after fertilisation, the ball of cells (blastocyst) begins to implant into the endometrium. The implantation process takes about a week to complete
  • The formation of the placenta begins
49
Q

Week 3: Overview

A
  • Implantation is complete, the developing baby is referred to as an embryo
  • Cells continue to divide rapidly and start taking on specialised roles as the organs begin to develop
50
Q

Week 4: Overview

A
  • The tissues that will become the brain and spine (the neural tube) start to develop
  • Around 3 millimetres in length, the embryo secretes hormones to maintain the endometrium and to prevent the mother from having a menstrual period
51
Q

Week 5: Overview

A
  • Buds appear on each side of the embryo that will become the limbs, the heart begins to beat
  • Brain cells are being generated at a rate of 100 per minute
52
Q

Week 6: Overview

A
  • The spinal cord looks like a tail and the head is large in relation to the rest of the body
  • The embryo is approximately 1.3 centimetres long
53
Q

Week 7: Overview

A
  • Blood cells are being made in the liver
  • Facial features such as the eyes and mouth are forming
  • Tiny muscles have formed, which allow the embryo to move
54
Q

Week 8: Overview

A
  • The embryo is around 2.5 centimetres in length
  • Fingers and toes are starting to form
  • The brain is now active
55
Q

Week 9-38: Overview

A
  • The developing baby is now known as a foetus
  • All the body’s organs are formed but not all are functioning at this point
  • The foetus is around 7 centimetres in length in week 11
  • Teeth are beginning to form in the gums
  • Eyelids are fused over the eye
56
Q

Week 14-18: Overview

A
  • The foetus is around 14 centimetres in length in week 14
  • The tongue develops taste buds
  • Ears are fully functioning and the foetus can hear muffled sounds from the outside world
  • The sex of the foetus can be distinguished via an ultrasound
57
Q

Week 19-23: Overview

A
  • The foetus is around 33 centimetres in length in week 22
  • The foetus will swallow regularly but takes in only amniotic fluid
  • The eyelids separate into upper and lower lids and the foetus can open and shut its eyes
58
Q

Week 24-28: Overview

A
  • The foetus is around 37 centimetres long and weighs approximately 1 kilogram
  • The fingers and toes grow nails
  • The foetus’s body has grown and it is now more in proportion with the size of the head but will take until childhood to completely catch up
  • In preparation for breathing, production of surfactant begins
59
Q

Week 29-33: Overview

A
  • The foetus spends most of its time asleep.
  • Eyebrows and eyelashes grow
  • Fat is laid down under the skin to assist with adjusting to life outside the uterus
  • The foetus moves in a strong and coordinated way
60
Q

Week 34-38: Overview

A
  • The foetus assumes the ‘head down’ position in preparation for birth
  • The lungs develop at a rapid rate during this time
  • The foetus is around 50 centimetres in length
61
