She may be starting to get a small bump, particularly if this is her second or more pregnancy.
To the baby:
The baby is roughly 2.3cm long. See the related links for more information
Adding 0.5 lb (227 g) a week as the due date approaches, the fetus drops lower into the mother's abdomen and prepares for the onset of labor
In the 3rd Month of development.
well since i been doing research on fetuses, my girlfriend is pregnant i believe that a 7 month old fetus can survive preterm birth because of development, so does the 8 month old fetus, but i believe the 8 month old fetus can't survive because it was almost born, i guess. Personally, I haven't heard of this, and can't find it in any of the medical textbooks I have. An 8 month fetus has more chance of survival than a 7 month old fetus because it is more developed. The weeks just before full term birth, the baby is working on lung development. Neither than 7 month old nor the 8 month old has full lung capacity development... and actually the 7 month old hasn't even started much on this one. It really depends on any other complications that arise. If the 8 month fetus has more complications, say because of genetics or trauma besides the pre-term delivery, it would have a lesser chance of survival compared to a 7 month fetus that has little or no complications, either genetics or trauma. Both fetus are at risk for pre-mature illnesses and the normal complications that stem from being delivered early. In either case, medical technology has advanced quite far in these times. Both fetus have a chance for survival with various treatments, medications, machines, and procedures, depending on the needs of the preemie and the stage of development, as well as post-partum circumstances that arise. It is still true, however, that the further along you can carry the baby, the better chance of survival it has because it has been able to be more developed. This is why, if you are too early, and you have true labor pains, the doctor will give you medication to stop the labor and thus give the baby more time to develop in utero.
You need to contact an OB/Gyn for your initial visit so they can evaluate your health and prescribe your prenatal vitamins. They will want to schedule a visit about every month, until your last trimester, to perform checkups on you and your fetus.
In the fetus, the testes are in the abdomen. As development progresses they migrate downward through the groin and into the scrotum. This event takes place late in fetal development, during the eighth month of gestation.
ok, well the mother must have not taken any prenatal care of any sort. taking prenatal medication is very pivotal! if she does not the fetus within her can be born with defects or in your case the babie can be born dead.. also if the baby was born but then died then that death is considered as s.i.d.s which stands for ( sudden infant death syndrome. so that is why your child was dead because of no prenatal care :(
Yes. A competent operator using a good machine will be able to see a one-month old fetus.
Depends on what month you are in.
Womb, uterus.
The development of female gametes, known as oocytes, begins during fetal development. The process starts before a female is born, and reaches a peak number of oocytes around the fifth month of prenatal development. However, oocytes remain in an arrested state of development until a woman reaches puberty.
Prenatal vitamins are generally taken during pregnancy or while trying to conceive so a woman's body can sustain her and the fetus. There is no contraindication to use prenatal vitamins with contraceptive pills, but another vitamin supplement may be more appropriate.
by checking every month that you and baby are ok...prenatal care
Never
