2. Pre-Natal Development BABY
Zygote
Embryo
Fetus

3. Prenatal Baby Development
Development of the baby during the period before birth.
Development in three stages
Zygote—first 2 weeks of pregnancy
Embryo—3rd-8th week of development
Fetus—8th week till delivery

4. How is Prenatal Development Measured?
Prenatal Period lasts 40 weeks
Is measured from the last menstrual period
Broken up into 3 trimesters
Each trimester is about 13 weeks, or 3 months

5. First Trimester
Weeks 1-13, Months 1-3

6. Month 1—The Zygote Weeks 1-2 Weeks 3-4 Finishing menstrual cycle
Weeks 3-4
Fertilization/conception
Egg travels to uterus (womb)
Implantation—this is when pregnancy technically begins

7. The Zygote—Month 1 Cell multiplication begins
Internal organs and circulatory system begins to form.
At the end of two weeks the zygote is the size of a pin-head
Heart begins to beat
3 weeks & 1 day after fertilization
Small bumps show the beginnings of arms and legs

8. Parts of the Zygote
At 3-4 weeks the brain divides into 3 parts: Forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain
Yolk sac: A membrane-lined sac that provides nourishment in the early stages of a baby's development in utero. It also acts as a rudimentary circulatory system before the embryo is able to circulate blood internally.

9. 4 weeks & 6 days….the skin is transparent because it is only 1 cell thick

10. Conception Once a month and ovum is released
Ovum- A female egg
The Egg moves through the Fallopian Tube to the uterus
Uterus-Where the baby develops during pregnancy
If not fertilized it disintegrates and is flushed away with menstruation

11. But . . .
If it is fertilized in the Fallopian Tube by a sperm—Conception occurs
This Union is what
we call a zygote!

12. The Embryo—Month 2 At 5 weeks the embryo is ¼ inch long
All major organ systems develop
Face and limbs take shape
Amniotic sac is inside the placenta
Amniotic fluid – guards against jolts, keeps the fetus at a constant temperature, keeps the fetus from forming a connection to the endometrium lining.
Amniotic sac – holds the amniotic fluid, a very strong, clear and transparent sbaby to exit out of it.

13. Month 2
Webbed fingers and toes develop
7 weeks
8 weeks

14. The Embryo—Month 2 The placenta and Umbilical Cord develop
Placenta- The tissue that connects the sac around the unborn baby to the mother’s uterus
Umbilical Cord- Tube that connects the baby to the placenta
Brings the baby nourishment and oxygen from the mother’s blood
Takes away waster products
Amniotic Sac
Holds the amniotic fluid and surrounds the baby
Amniotic fluid
Gaurds against jolts and keeps constant temperature
Amniotic sac is inside the placenta
Amniotic fluid – guards against jolts, keeps the fetus at a constant temperature, keeps the fetus from forming a connection to the endometrium lining.
Amniotic sac – holds the amniotic fluid, a very strong, clear and transparent sbaby to exit out of it.

15. Two Months

16. Month 2
This is when signs and symptoms of pregnancy usually become apparent
First trimester has the worst symptoms

17. Look Up Early Symptoms of Pregnancy
Web MD Pregnancy App

18. Signs & Symptoms of Pregnancy
1. Missed menstrual period 
2. Fuller and more tender breasts 
3. Nausea or morning sickness
4. Fatigue
5. Sensitivity to particular odors
6.Increased urination
7. Moodiness

19. The Fetus—Month 3 The fetus is about 1 inch long
Nostrils, mouth, lips, teeth buds, and eyelids form
Eyelids are fused shut
Arms, legs, fingers, and toes have developed
All internal organs are present—but aren’t ready to function

20. 3 Months

21. Fingers & toes no longer webbed
12 Weeks
11 Weeks

22. The Fetus—Month 3
The genital organs can be recognized as male or female
Can tell as early as 12 weeks
Most doctors give the ultrasound at weeks

23. Summary of First Trimester
The most critical and greatest time of risk and vulnerability for birth defects depending on what the mother does or does not do during the pregnancy i.e.: taking drugs/medication.
Signs and symptoms of pregnancy are more likely to occur.
The majority of the physical development occurs (every physical feature and vital organs form, heart beats and brain waves begin etc.)
There is small maternal weight gain.

24. STOP HERE FOR DAY 1

29. The Fetus—Month 4 Fetus is 3 inches long and weights 5 oz.
Your baby is covered with a layer of thick, downy hair called lanugo.
