Depending on the stage of pregnancy, babies look different in the womb. At the initial stage, the embryo is more like a comma in shape, and by the middle of pregnancy it is already a fully formed man.
Instructions
Step 1
Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life. Very often, joy is replaced by anxiety: how is the baby there, how is he developing and is everything all right with him? Modern medicine allows you to "look" inside the placenta and find out how babies look in the womb.
Step 2
In the first week of pregnancy, the size of the embryo is only 3 mm, but already at this stage, the formation of the neural tube, lungs, heart and thyroid gland takes place. The gender of your baby is determined even during fertilization, but it is not possible to recognize him at this time. In the fifth week, the embryo stretches, something like a tail appears in the leg area, on the other hand, you can see the rudiments of the head, and just below the rudiments of the limbs. At this stage, the heart begins to beat and blood circulate. The lungs and brain begin to develop.
Step 3
At 6-7 weeks, the embryo reaches a length of 8 mm, it already has eye lenses and the rudiments of nostrils and ears. The baby already has formed elbows and fingers and toes. By the end of the 8th week, it reaches 40 mm in length. Limbs and bones continue to form. At the 9th week, your "tadpole" looks like a fully formed little man, he even has a characteristic pattern on his fingers. At the 10th week, the sucking reflex develops.
Step 4
By the end of the 11th week, the baby reaches 4 cm in length and weighs as much as 7 grams! Hair and nails begin to form, the kidneys are already able to function independently. At 12 weeks, your little one is moving their eyes. Its weight reaches 14 grams. At 13 weeks, the baby begins to breathe, and at 14th week of sucking on the thumb. It reaches 9 cm in length and weighs 43 grams. At the 15th week, the baby acquires eyebrows, and at the 16th week, a layer of subcutaneous fat. At 17 weeks he looks like a real human with proportional limbs and a head. At the 18th week, it weighs 140 grams, and reaches 13 cm in length.
Step 5
In the middle of pregnancy, the rapid development of the fetus slows down. Muscles are filled with strength, the baby is trying to connect with the outside world. He already hears and can react to your appeal to him. By the end of the 23rd week, he has almost the same body proportions as a newborn baby. Its weight reaches 500 grams. At the 25th week, the baby begins to understand the taste of food and smell. At the 26th week, the retina of the eye is formed, and the baby can react to light.
Step 6
Muscle, bone and fat mass continues to form, nails grow and tears are secreted. By the end of the 30th week, your baby has reached 40 cm in length and weighs 1300 grams. At the 31st week, your baby's skin brightens, bones and brain continue to form, the baby is no longer as active as before, but this is normal, it just doesn't have enough space. The respiratory system has not yet completed its formation, and parts of the skull are not fully connected. By the end of the 36th week, the baby is fully formed and is in a head-down position. At the 37th week, his height reaches 48 cm, and his weight is 2800 grams.
Step 7
At the 39th week, the lungs complete their formation. At 40 weeks, you should give birth to a normal healthy baby about 50 cm tall and weighing 3500 to 5000 grams.
