Pregnancy Calendar


Explore and uncover the miraculous story of a new life forming.

Conception begins when a male reproductive cell (sperm cell), successfully fuses with the female reproductive cell ( egg cell. ) After the fusion of the sperm and egg is the fusion of their genetic materials. Cell division follows. The zygote ( cell formed by the fusion of the sperm and egg ) divides into two, four, eight, and so on.

Changes happen in every stage of embryonic development. At 25 days, the embryo curves into C shape and the arches that form the face and neck are becoming evident under the enlarging forebrain. The primitive heart is beating. The development of the limb buds are also visible, and the hand plates are noticeable in day 44. At 56 days, the circulatory system is given an emphasis as well as the developed organs of the embryo: the brain, heart, umbilical cord, vertebrae, stomach, kidneys, lungs, and liver. At this stage, all the major organs are in place.

The genitalia of a 56 day old fetus inside womb is visible. Though the indifferent penis is visible, the sex of the baby is not clear from external appearance until week 12. At 7 months, it is noticeable that the fetus is in fetal position where the legs are drawn up, because of the limited space in the uterus. The arms, legs, and toenails are fully formed. At 9 months, the skull can be seen showing the unconnected bony plates called fontanels. These fontanels are significant for fetal brains protection and they allow the head to elongate and mold during childbirth, then return to a rounded shape.

At 9 months, the baby is ready for delivery. The baby in position for birth, the baby then rotates down, pushes out and comes out headfirst. In order to squeeze the baby through the pelvic canal, the mothers bones pop open in the middle.

In this day and age it is remarkable that the phallacies of interpretation still hang over us as a perversion of the truth. Nothing is said in the video that the egg is hundreds if not thousands of time bigger than the sperm cell or that this magic egg contains all the primary genetic codes to create a child. Instead we are told that the fetus has a penis. Implying that the egg is in fact a y chromosome. The truth is that the it is not an indifferent penis but a clitoris. The fetus starts out as female not male. The egg is an x chromosome not a y chromosone . You bunch of Ignorant perverted bastards

Healthy term pregnancy is 39-42 weeks. That is actually ten months, not nine. We need to change our language around this to have realistic expectations of the length of pregnancy and stop planned early induction before 39 weeks. A pregnancy at 41 weeks is not "late" or "post-dates". In order to squeeze the baby through the pelvic canal, the mothers bones POP OPEN IN THE MIDDLE?! What a visual, bones exploding right and left like TNT. Make a video of that, perhaps! How about, ligaments relax and allow the pubic symphysis (pelvic bones)to separate up to 9mm or one third of an inch. From your text: "At 9 months, the baby is ready for delivery. The baby in position for birth, the baby then rotates down, pushes out and comes out headfirst. In order to squeeze the baby through the pelvic canal, the mothers bones pop open in the middle"
