Picture of fetus in the womb

The so-called uterus is the castle where the baby develops, which is responsible for the creation of the fetus. The fetus can spend ten months in the womb before being born into this world. Every day during these ten months, the fetus will grow at a rate that the mother can't imagine. As a typical mother, do you want to know the growth and development of your baby? What does the baby look like in the womb?

Photos of the baby in the womb

1. One month

The body length is about 0.2 cm and the weight is about 1 gram. The sperm and egg combine to produce morula by fission, which then breaks down again to produce embryos and implantation. The fetus's central nervous system, brain and heart begin to grow and develop.

2. Two months

The embryo is about 2.3 cm long and weighs about 4 grams. The long and thin tail gradually shortens, and the head and body can be clearly distinguished, beginning to take on a human shape. The hands and feet are clear, even the five fingers and toes are visible, and even part of the long nails can be seen. The eyes, ears, and mouth have also roughly appeared, and it has already looked like a human face, but the eyes are still located on two sides. The bones are still in a cartilage state and are ductile. Internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, heart, and liver have become increasingly complete, especially the liver, which is growing and developing significantly. Neural tube defects bulge, and the human brain grows and develops rapidly.

3. Three months

The fetus's body is 7-9 cm long and weighs about 20 grams, which has increased by more than 3.4 times compared to 4-7 weeks. After the torso and legs have grown, the head is still significantly larger, the jaw and cheeks are relatively developed, and more importantly, the nose, mouth, gums and throat have grown. Compared with before, it looks more like a face, and eyelids have grown on the eyes. Because the skin is still transparent, the subcutaneous blood vessels and internal organs can be seen from the outside. The heart, liver, stomach, intestines, etc. are more developed, the kidney function is also gradually developed, and the urethra is now present. Therefore, the fetus can carry out a small amount of metabolism.

4. Four months

The sex can be distinguished by its body length of 18 cm and weight of 120 g. It uses its chest to breathe in and out and can suck its thumb. The baby grows gums and floats back and forth in the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman. The color of the fetus's skin is redder and thicker, which is beneficial to protecting the fetus's internal organs. The face grows fine hairs called sweat hairs. In addition, the baby's arms and legs can move slightly. This is because the bones are strong and have grown firmly. However, the pregnant mother still feels that she cannot keep up with the baby's activities. The heartbeat becomes more active and the internal organs are almost formed.

5. Five months

The body length is 18-22 cm and the weight is 250-300 grams. Fine hair (sweat hair) grows all over the body, and the hair, eyebrows, fingernails, etc. are complete. The skull is the size of an egg. The upper-heavy and lower-light human body is divided into three parts and is finally balanced. The skin gradually turns a beautiful red, the fat begins to settle, and gradually becomes opaque. Because there is less body fat, you don't look fat. As bones and muscles grow stronger, the arms and legs become more active, and you may feel noticeable fetal movements.

6. Six months

The body length is 28-34 cm and the weight is about 660 grams. The human body gradually becomes even. The accumulation of body fat is not great, so he is still thin and his skin is yellowish yellow. From this point on, vernix caseosa begins to adhere to the surface of the skin. Vernix caseosa is a compound produced by the sebaceous glands and desquamated skin epithelial cells. Its main purpose is to provide nutrition to the fetus's skin and protect the skin; at the same time, it has a lubricating effect during delivery, so that the fetus can pass through the birth canal smoothly.

7. Seven months

The body length is 35-38 cm, the weight is 1000 grams, and the face looks like a human. However, due to the many wrinkles, it looks like an old man. The hair has grown to about 5 centimeters, and the whole body is covered with hair. The boundary of the upper and lower eyelids is clearly visible, and the eyes can be opened. Among the reproductive organs, the boy's testicles have not yet descended, but the girl's labia and clitoris are already clearly protruding. The energy from sucking milk is not yet sufficient, and the bronchi and lungs are not yet fully developed.

8. Eight months

The body length is 40-44 cm and the weight is about 1500 grams. From this point on, the amniotic fluid flow no longer increases as before. The rapidly growing fetus' body is closely attached to the uterus. The fetus, which has been rotating freely, becomes fixed in this stage. Because of dizziness, its head usually points downwards. The fetus also reflects the obvious influence of the outside world. If a baby is born prematurely at this stage, if it is carefully raised, the fetus can survive, and the internal organs such as the lungs and the brain and central nervous system will develop to a certain level.

9. Nine Months

The body length is 45-48 cm, and the weight has increased by about 1000 grams, to about 2500 grams. Fat begins to appear all over the body, the body becomes round, wrinkles become more, and the skin loses its luster and color. The sweat hair all over the body has begun to disappear, and the fine hair on the eyelids and abdomen has long disappeared. The fingernails grow quickly and reach the fingertips, but they do not easily extend beyond the fingertips. The boy's testicles are lowered into the scrotum, and the girl's labia majora are protruding and tightly attached to each other, that is, the sexual organs are basically complete. By this time, the lungs and stomach are also relatively well developed.

10. Ten Months

The body length is 48-50 cm and the weight is about 3000 grams. The wrinkles have disappeared and it has become a light yellow, fleshy fetus. The skull is hardened, the fingernails have grown longer than the fingers, and the hair is 2-3 cm. The fine hairs are basically invisible, and the vernix caseosa has reached a level that can be slightly seen on the back, buttocks, joints, etc. The breasts are slightly protruding, and sometimes "magic milk" will continue to be discharged when pressed with the fingers. The circulatory system, led by the heart and liver, as well as the respiratory, digestive, and urinary organs of the human body have all been developed and can already live independently outside the body.
