    What is Prenatal Development?


    Prenatal Development is the process of growth and development that
    occurs before birth. It's a fascinating journey that transforms a single
    cell into a fully formed human being. There are three phases in prenatal
    development, Germinal Stage, Embryonic Stage, and lastly Fetal Stage.
    Germinal Stage
    First 2 weeks
    Starts at the time of conception, when the sperm and the egg combine
    to form a zygote. During the germinal stage, the zygote begins to divide
    in order. Once implantation is complete, the embryonic stage begins.
    Embryonic Stage
    2 Weeks to 2 months
    Lasts from about the third week of pregnancy until the end of eighth
    week of pregnancy. The blastocyst begin to take on distinct human
    characteristics. It’s now called an embryo.
    Fetal Stage
    2 Months to Birth
    Last from week nine until birth. During this stage, the fetus will
    continue to develop organs, including the brain and spinal cord.
    Between weeks nine and 12, the fetus will begin to make movements
    with their arms and legs.
    First Trimester (Weeks 1-12)
    The first trimester will span
    from conception to 12 weeks.
    This is generally the first three
    months of pregnancy. During
    this trimester, the fertilized egg
    will change from small grouping
    of cells to a fetus that begins to
    have human features.
    Second Trimester (Weeks 13-
    26)
    The second trimester is the fetus kicks, moves and can turn from side to
    side. The eyes have been gradually moving to the front of the face, and
    ears have moved from the neck to the sides of the head. The fetus can
    hear your voice.
    Third Trimester (Week 27-40)

    The third trimester your fetus continues to grow in size and weight. The
    lungs are still maturing, and the fetus begins to position itself head
    down. By the end of the third trimester, the fetus is about 19 to 21
    inches long and weight, on average 6 to 9 pounds.
