After the news on the agenda, the meaning of the term fetus was a matter of curiosity. The fetus, a medical term, is a concept that is often heard by expectant mothers, because it is one of the stages of development of the baby in the womb.
So, what is the fetus? Here, information about the fetus and the stages of development of the baby in the womb.
Fetus is the name given to the creature in the womb during the period from the beginning of the third pregnancy to the delivery. At the end of the first eight weeks, 9th-40th. The fetal period begins between weeks. Organ systems that develop in fetal period and embryonal period develop.
BABY DEVELOPMENT STAGES
5. Week of Pregnancy
The embryo in your womb grows at a fast pace. At this time, your baby is about the size of a sesame seed and looks like a tiny, little frog. His body now consists of three layers - ectoderm (inner skin), mesoderm (middle skin), endoderm (outer skin) - which will then form the organs and tissues. The neural tube (nerve pathway) where your baby’s brain, spinal cord, spine and nerves will sprout begins to develop in the top layer called ectoderm. This layer also allows the development of its skin, hair, nails, breasts, sweat glands and tooth enamel. The heart and circulatory system begin to take shape in the middle layer, that is, the mesoderm. (Even this week, your baby’s tiny heart begins to split into beams, throw and pump blood.) Mesoderm also shapes your baby’s muscle, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous tissues. The third layer, the endoderm, shapes your baby’s organs such as the lung, intestine, underdeveloped urinary system, liver, thyroid and pancreas. Meanwhile, the placenta and umbilical cord that provide food and oxygen to the baby continue to do their job. At the same time, these occur in the development of the baby, and changes and new formations occur in the placenta. It has started the tissue and cord ligament functions called CV which will feed the baby and help the oxygen reach the baby. If you still haven’t had a pregnancy test, week 5 is a good time to do the test. This will allow you to contact a healthcare provider to discuss the need for a baby and a healthy pregnancy. Note: Every baby may develop differently even in the womb. This information is provided to give you a general idea of your baby’s development.
6th week of pregnancy
This week’s biggest development; your baby’s eyes, ears and nose begin to form. If you can see your womb, you may notice that your baby’s big head, eyes and nostrils appearing as small black dots begin to form. The ears that start to form are pits on both sides of the head and the arms and legs are like protrusions. The heart rate is between 100 and 160 beats per minute, which is about twice your beat. Blood flow starts all over his body. The intestines develop and the tissue shoots that form the lungs begin to emerge. Like the brain, muscles and bones, the pituitary gland begins to form. Right now your baby is about a quarter inch tall, ie a lentil.
7. Week of Pregnancy
The big news of this week is the emergence of the hands and feet of your little baby’s developing arms and legs. These are not just small chubby hands and feet that you dream to hold and tickle, but organs that look like a fin for the time being. Your baby is technically still an embryo and has a small tail that looks like an attachment attached to the tail bone. This tail disappears within 5 weeks, and this is the only thing shrinking in your womb. Your baby has reached twice the size of last week and is now half an inch (1cm) tall, ie a blackberry. If you could look inside your womb; you could see the eyelid pits that covered her tiny eyes (now the colors are clear), the tip of her nose, and her tiny veins passing under her skin as thin as paper. Both sides of his brain develop and the liver takes on this task until the marrow forms and begins to produce red blood cells. He also has pancreas and appendicitis that will produce the insulin hormone to help digest him. There is a knot in the intestines attached to the umbilical cord, which is like an independent blood vessel carrying nutrients and oxygen to the small body.
