At the moment of conception, a *sperm* cell enters and fertilises the egg, which is sealed off to exclude all other sperm. - When the egg is fertilised, the genes or chromosomes from each parent combine to create a cell. This cell then starts to divide, becoming a collection of cells - The cells continue to divide and grow, moving down the fallopian tube until they reach the uterus between 3 and 7 days later. Once in the uterus, they implant in the lining of the uterus - As a result of the *hormone* changes following conception, the lining of the uterus has already become thicker and has an increased blood supply in preparation for *implantation*. The process of implantation usually takes about one week.PregnancyThe nine months of pregnancy are divided into three stages called trimesters1st Trimester (0-12 weeks):- The fertilised egg settles in the uterus and begins to grow. - By 8 weeks the developing baby has hands and feet, and can pass urine by 10 weeks. - By 12 weeks the baby weighs about 60 grams, and with the fluid around it, is the size of a large egg. Fingers and toes have developed. The head is large in proportion to the rest of the body2nd Trimester (13-28 weeks)- By 14 weeks, morning sickness has usually stopped - At 16 weeks the baby is about 15cm long. Uterus has grown to about half way between the pubic bone and the belly button. - At 20 weeks the baby's heartbeat can be heard. The baby is 20 cm long. There are fine hairs on the head and eyebrows and there are fingernails. The mother can feel movements. - At 28 weeks the foetus measures about 36 cm long, and weighs about 1 kg. The foetus is fully formed but still very immature. A baby born at this stage will need special care, but has a good chance of surviving and being healthy3rd Trimester (29-40 weeks)- At 32 weeks the baby is about 40cm long and weighs about 1.5kg. There is less downy hair on the baby's body; the skin appears red in colour. - At 36 weeks the uterus is at the bottom of the breastbone, its highest level. The mother may find this very uncomfortable and have some difficulty breathing. The baby weighs about 2.5kg and the nails reach the fingerprints. - At 38 weeks the baby is fully formed and developed and spends the next one to four weeks putting on weight and gaining strength for the birth. - At full term (which is usually 40 weeks but can be anywhere between 38 and 42 weeks) the baby has smooth pink skin, usually weighs between 2.8 and 4.5kg and measures about 50cm long.
