The more technical side of a fetus's development. At 5 weeks, the fetuses heartbeat is detectable and begins circulating the blood. An umbilical cord and some organs start to develop. The fetus also starts to develop arm and leg ’buds’.
At 6 weeks, the fetuses brain cells develop, along with it’s eyes and nostrils. After the 8th week of pregnancy, the embryo is considered a fetus.
Around the 11th week, nearly all organs are formed along with the determination of its genitals. Hair and nails also begin growing as organs begin to function one at a time.
At three and a half months, one can find the gender of their fetus.
At 16 weeks, the fetus is found to be able to breathe on its own.
Around 4 to 5 months, the woman can feel the fetus moving and at 24 weeks, the fetus can survive outside the womb.
Around week 32, all 5 senses are functional, toenails formed, and can produce tears.
Finally, at week 40, the fetus is ready to be born, and when that happens, you‘ll be holding a warm babe. (The Merck Manuals, Stages of development). (Pregnancy.org- fetal development)
