Prenatal Development - It’s a miracle!

Nine months is all it takes for a new baby to be formed and ready to meet the world.  It is a miracle!  So what actually goes on during this time? The period of time when your baby is conceived till the time he is born is known as prenatal development.  The nine months are divided into three stages or what is commonly known as the three trimesters.  Each trimester lasts three months.  The first trimester is taken from the first to the third month, the second trimester, fourth to the sixth month and the third trimester starts from the seventh month till the time of birth.  During each of these pregnancy stages, rapid growth, formation of organs and development are taking place inside your womb.  Your baby, from a single cell will develop into a whole living, breathing person weighing between six to eight pounds at birth. Prenatal development is the only period life that has such rapid and miraculous growth.  
It is important to understand how your baby grows during prenatal development because it helps you appreciate the value of prenatal care.  You can do your part by keeping yourself and your baby healthy during these crucial periods of development.
