Mom's body begins the recovery process. Bonding with baby occurs and the start to breastfeeding.

The delivery of the placenta. This can occur anywhere from minutes to an hour after giving birth.

Cervix is fully dilated and baby has made its way all the way down the vaginal canal and is beginning to crown. Mom begins to push and finally meets her beautiful baby. (There are many complications that can arise and not all mothers go through stages the same. Many have c-sections either through emergency or voluntarily.)

The beginning is different for each mother. Some have their water break and some experience contractions first. During this stage the the cervix begins to dilate, contractions start from anywhere from a half hour apart to seconds apart. By the end of this stage the baby is making its way down the vaginal canal.

This is week 29 to 40. The mother's body is preparing for birth. Some symptoms include "practice contractions", shortness of breath, and achy hips. The baby has gained significant weight is begins to put on fat. The lungs finish forming, the fetus has hair, and taste buds. By 40 weeks the fetus is prepared to enter the world.

From the 9th week to birth. The reproductive system forms, fetus makes significant gains in weight, and brain and nervous system continue to develop. The gestation period is often broken up into trimesters. The fetal period begins at the last third of the first trimester.

Around the the 25th day of gestational life the embryo's neural tube began to take a curved shape. The neural tube is a collection of cells that will form the central nervous system and will eventually become the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain.

The embryonic period occurs from week 3 to week 8 of the gestational period. This is when most of the body's organ systems and structures are developing. Also occurring is the strengthening of the life support system including the placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid.

Chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell are made up of DNA. Genes are "coded" sections of DNA. Genes, like chromosomes, come in matched pairs. Gene expression during transcription and translation is influenced by the environment of the cell. Different varieties of genes are alleles. The embryo gets alleles, one from each parent to determine a genotype. Such as one parent with attached ear lobes and one parent with unattached ear lobes.

Cells continue to duplicate and differentiate during prenatal development and become specialized. They develop different structures and functions depending on their surrounding environment. Each cell's environment interacts with hereditary material to direct the cell's developmental outcome.

Over 2 weeks the growing organism migrates down the Fallopian tube into the uterus and through implantation attaches itself to the uterine lining. The zygote is now an embryo.

The chromosomes begin to divide within hours of conception, replicating themselves. Chromosomes and nuclei pull apart producing new cells. This process is called mitosis and continues producing millions of cells.

Contains 46 chromosomes. 23 from Mom and 23 from Dad.

Man's sperm fertilizes woman's ovum. Sperm penetrates the outer membrane of the ovum and makes the journey through the ovum's cytoplasm to penetrate the nucleus. The sperm's chromosomes become a part of the nuclear material in the fertilized ovum, now called a zygote.
