Fun Facts About Fetus:
- A human egg cell is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
- Once fertilized, the egg embarks on an incredible journey, starting as a zygote that divides numerous times while traveling down the mother’s fallopian tube.
- Within days, it transforms into a raspberry-shaped morula and then a hollow blastocyst, eventually implanting in the uterus to thrive.
- By the third week, embryonic cells differentiate into specialized cells, with rapid growth igniting.
- Around five weeks post-conception, the heart begins to beat.
- By the sixth week, facial features start to appear, while arms and legs begin to stretch.
- At eight weeks, fingers and toes form, with eyes developing shortly after.
- By week ten, the fetus grows rapidly, measuring just 1 to 2 inches long.
- Soon, all major organs begin functioning, leading to the magical moment known as “quickening” when the mother feels movement inside her.
- Finally, after 40 weeks of growth and development, it's time to celebrate—Happy Birthday!
