Prenatal Development
• How Conception Occurs• Inner lining of uterus
thickens• Every 28 days, an ovum
is released into fallopian tubes
• If a sperm fertilizes the egg while in the fallopian tube…
• CONCEPTION occurs
![Page 3: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• Time Frames• Ovum usually lives for
24-48 hours• Sperm is capable of
fertilizing for 48 to 72 hours
• During a woman’s cyle, there are 3-4 fertile days each month

Prenatal Development
• Germinal Stage• Lasts about two weeks• Cell division begins
while still in the fallopian tube
• After about 4 days, zygote reaches the uterus and implants
• Zygote is the size of the head of a pin
![Page 7: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• Embryonic Stage• Lasts from 3rd through
8th weeks• Embryo grows rapidly• Lots of changes occur
![Page 8: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Prenatal Development
• Organs and Body Systems Develop• Cells separate and turn in to major systems of
body • Neural tube (becomes the brain/spinal cord)
develops at 27 days after conception• Brain then takes over development• Very sensitive to drugs and alcohol
![Page 10: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• Amniotic Sac• Sac filled with fluid forms
around the embryo• Amniotic fluid protects
the baby• Cushions the baby from
bumps or falls• Embryo is about 1” long• Floats freely in fluid
![Page 11: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• Placenta and Umbilical Cord• Placenta absorbs oxygen and
nourishment from mother• Sends to baby through
umbilical cord • takes carbon dioxide and
other waste away• Placenta and umbilical cord
provide everything baby needs until birth
![Page 12: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• Umbilical cord • Thick and firm• Like a garden hose filled
with water• Usually not flexible
enough to loop around fetus
![Page 13: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• Fetal Stage• From 8th week until birth• Baby is called “fetus”• Buds for 20 baby teeth
appear• Vocal chords develop• Digestive system works• Spontaneous
movements begin
![Page 14: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Prenatal Development
• When can Baby live outside the womb?
• At Month 7, with help• Baby gains weight • Adds fat• What does the fat do? • Helps keep Baby warm
after birth
![Page 15: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Prenatal Development• What else is Baby up to? • Suck its thumb• Cough, sneeze, kick• Cry!• Still can change positions
• As baby grows bigger• Baby runs out of room and
assumes “fetal position”• Can no longer change
positions

Prenatal Development• Options for Infertile Couples• Adoption• Artificial insemination• Sperm injected into uterus when ovulating• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)• Doctor places zygote in uterus• Ovum transfer• Same as in vitro but ovum has been donated• Surrogate mother• When another women becomes pregnant for you

Prenatal Development• Fertility Treatments– Women take hormones, daily shots– Can cause uncomfortable
and serious side effects– Women will often

Prenatal Development• Losing a Baby• When baby is not developing normally, sometimes it may result in
the baby’s death
• Miscarriage• Happens before 20 weeks• 15-20% of recognized* pregnancies
• Stillbirth• Happens after 20 weeks• 2% of pregnancies• Problems with placenta, abnormal chromosomes, poor
growth and infections

Prenatal Development• Birth Defects• Affects 150,000 babies each year around the
world• Some defects are mild, some are severe• Not all defects are apparent at birth• Doctors and scientists are researching how to
prevent and treat birth defects
• NOTE ON THE NOTES: You don’t have to write the details on each defect!

Spina Bifida / Hydrocephalus
• Incompletely formed spinal cord leads to stiff joints, difficulty moving legs, problems with kidneys and urinary tract
• 70/100 with Spina Bifida also have Hydrocephalus, excess fluid around brain
• Amniocentisis and blood tests can reveal before birth

• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)– Passed directly to child– Has no cure and lasts forever– 20% of babies born with
FAS die before age 1– Those who survive may have– Facial deformity– Heart defects– Mental retardation
• Fetal Alcohol Effects– Less severe than
FAS but similar symptoms

Causes of Birth Defects• THIS IS WHERE YOU START WRITING AGAIN.
• Environmental causes• Nutritional balance of mother’s diet• Diseases or infections that mother has• Drugs, alcohol, prescription or OTC medicine• Exposure to chemicals, radiation (x-rays), etc.
![Page 87: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Causes of Birth Defects• Hereditary causes• Tay-Sachs, Cystic Fibrosis• Errors in Chromosomes• Down Syndrome• Interaction of Heredity and Environment• Cleft palate, cleft lip
• We don’t always know why
![Page 88: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Prevention / Diagnosis of Birth Defects• What can we do? • Genetic Counseling• Prenatal Tests• Alpha-fetaprotein (AFP)• Ultrasound• Amniocentisis

Environmental Risks• Medicines, OTC and prescribed• Can cause deformities, mental retardation• Caffeine• Increased risk of miscarriage and low birth
weight• Nicotine (Cigarettes)• Low birth weight• Illegal drugs• Can pass on addiction to baby

Multiple Births
• Fraternal Twins• Mother releases two eggs and two different sperm fertilize• 3% (3 out of 100) of births in U.S. are fraternal• Fraternal twins
depends on family history, socio-economic status, mothers age (older moms are more likely)
![Page 91: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Multiple Births
• Identical Twins– One sperm and one egg (zygote) splits – Always the same sex – .23% (23 out of 1000) are identical – Average number of identical twins is the same all over the world and
has not changed throughout history
• Triplets & More– Much less common and poses greater risk for mom and babies
![Page 92: Prenatal Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813788550346895d9f2254/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Twins

Twins Trivia• Do identical twins have the same DNA and fingerprints?
• Identical twins, formed when one fertilized egg splits, are the only people in the world with identical DNA.
• Fraternal twins, on the other hand, are formed when two different eggs are fertilized.
• Genetically speaking, fraternal twins are no closer than normal siblings, sharing only about 50% of their genes.
• Although identical twins have the same genotype, or DNA, they have different phenotypes, meaning that the same DNA is expressed in different ways.
• Traits determined by phenotype, such as fingerprints and physical appearance, are the result of "the interaction of the individuals genes and the developmental environment in the uterus."
• Thus, a DNA test can't determine the difference between identical twins, while a simple fingerprint can

More No-No’s for Mama– You don’t have to write these!
– X Rays - Radiation can cause birth defects– Lead-based paint– Pesticides (used to kill bugs)– Mercury (found in some fish)– Unwashed Vegetables, Sushi, Cat Litter Box (toxoplasmosis)– Deli meats (listeria) – have to heat to steaming– Raw Eggs (cookie dough)– Soft cheeses (brie, feta, gorgonzola, queso blanco and fresco) – Amusement park rides– Jacuzzi’s and hot tubs– Extreme sports.

through their pregnancy for their health and that oftheir babies
