Pregnant in October, what happens to the fetal treasure every month?

Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period. In the first week of pregnancy, the egg meets the sperm, combines into a fertilized egg, and splits into two cells. From this moment on, the fertilized egg population splits approximately every 12 hours.

At the same time, the clumps of cells follow the fallopian tubes into the uterus. The cell clumps secrete fluid that expands into a hollow ball called the blastocyst. After a few days, the blastocyst becomes two layers: mostly liquid, and a small part of the cell mass is squeezed to the side of the spheroid.

At this time, the bulbous wall will then become the placenta and amniotic membrane, and the cells inside will become the fetus.

At the second month, the embryo is about 3 centimeters long, similar to the size of a grape, and weighs only 2 grams. The fetal treasure head is larger, accounting for about half of the entire body. A tail falls behind it, which is generally C-shaped and looks like a seahorse.

This month, the brain and spinal cord begin to form. Vital organs such as lungs, throat, and kidneys begin to develop. The heart begins to beat, that is, there is a fetal heart. The fetal baby's heart beats very fast, beating 110-160 times per minute, or even more, about 2 times that of adults.

In the third month, the fetal treasure resembles the size of a lemon. The body stretched a little, and the tail degenerated and disappeared. The head becomes rounded and the facial features begin to appear. Hands and feet also begin to form. Initially like an oar, without fingers or toes, it slowly develops. The hands develop faster than the feet, and the fingernails begin to grow. At this time, the fetal treasure will have a slight movement. Such as kicking, fist clenching, raising hands, etc. But because the strength is too small, pregnant mothers generally can't feel it.

In the fourth month, the fetal treasure resembles the size of an avocado. The contours of the organs are clearly visible, the kidneys function more perfectly, and urine begins to be produced. Urine will become a major source of amniotic fluid. But fetal treasure also began to swallow amniotic fluid. In this way, the amniotic fluid is maintained at a relatively stable level. In addition, the fetal hair of the fetal treasure begins to grow, the legs develop rapidly, and the nails of the feet begin to grow. The movements of the limbs become coordinated.

At the fifth month, the fetal treasure resembles the size of an apple. The head is not so big, and the figure is also well-proportioned. You can sleep and wake up regularly. External sounds can be heard and sometimes react. This is fetal movement. This month, the strength of the fetal treasure is getting bigger and bigger, and the skill is also increasing. For example, sucking fingers, pulling on umbilical cords, etc.

At the sixth month, the placenta resembles the size of a grapefruit. The senses develop further and begin to have joys and sorrows. If the pregnant mother eats food that he does not like to eat, she will even kick her belly in protest. The activity gradually increased, in addition to kicking legs, turning over, but also learned to hiccup. When the fetal treasure burps, the pregnant mother's stomach will jump and jump.

In the seventh month, the fetal treasure resembles the size of a melon. Weight continues to grow, has a basic sense of taste, and can taste bittersweet and sweet. At this time, the emotional changes of the fetal treasure to the pregnant mother are becoming clearer and clearer. Pregnant mothers' mood swings will affect the blood flow rate in the body, which may lead to lack of oxygen in the body. The fetus perceives changes in the mother's mood and will be restless and abnormal fetal movements.

In the eighth month, the fetal treasure is similar to the size of a coconut, and the development is basically perfect. The fetal head gradually descends and the fetal treasure changes position to prepare for the final delivery. This month, fetal treasure will open its eyes for the first time. If there is a light source coming in, it will run after the light source or turn your head to the light source.

In the ninth month, the fetal treasure weight increased rapidly, about 500 grams per week. The fetal head slowly enters the basin, and the activity of the fetal treasure gradually decreases. The bones became hard, but the skull of the head remained soft and elastic. At the time of such birth, the fetal treasure head can be "deformed" to facilitate smooth exit from the cabin.

In the last month, the fetus is about 50 cm long and weighs more than 3000 grams. About the size of a pumpkin. By 37 weeks, the fetal treasure is full term, and some of the fetal treasure will move down to the cervical opening to prepare for childbirth.

At this point, the basic process of fetal development has ended. If the pregnant mother feels cramps and breaks the water, it may indicate the beginning of the childbirth period. It is necessary to be sent to the hospital in time to enter the waiting period.

Life is so magical that in ten months, it can shape a living miracle. We must not only lament the greatness of creation, but also be grateful for the hard work of our mothers. But you know what? Human mothers are not yet the hardest. Some sharks are pregnant for as long as 3 years. Do you believe it? "Open the Big Animal" to answer your doubts.
