Baby's Development for month 1
Baby's Development for month 1 of pregnancy
- Because yoyu have not ovulated yet, there is no foetus yet!!
- Conception occurs this week. One sperm will enter the egg and fertilise it. At the moment of conception, the baby's gender is decided, by the chromosomes in the father's sperm.
- If one egg is fertilised and later splits in two, identical twins will develop.
- At present, your baby is what is known as a blastocyte (or Blastula), a mass of about 100 cells. The external part of this blastocyte will become the placenta. The internal part will become the embryo. The blastocyte implants in the lining of the uterus.
- Length - 0.05 inches or 1.25mm long
- The developing embryo has three layers - the top layer (ectoderm), the neural tube will form which will further develop into the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, skin and hair) and the middle layer (mesoderm), where the heart and circulatory system, bones, muscles, kidneys and reproductive organs will develop later on.
- The heart and circulatory system will develop rapidly
