Twelve-week fetal development and picture introduction
At twelve weeks of conception, the fetus has grown into a small life, with more obvious signs and characteristics than before. The following will introduce the development of the fetus during the twelve weeks from four aspects, with vivid pictures for better understanding.
Physical aspects
At twelve weeks, the fetus\’s body is more complete than before. At this time, the fetus is about 5.5cm long and weighs only about 14 grams. As the body grows, the eyes and ears begin to move closer together, and the shape of the nose and mouth become more pronounced. At this time, you can see that the fetus\’s facial features have begun to appear, the mouth begins to open and close, and the facial expressions gradually become clear.
In addition, the development of limbs also gradually matures. The fetus\’s fingers and toes have been separated, and it can be seen that the fetus has basic finger joints. At this time, the fetus\’s limbs can stretch freely, and fetal movements gradually increase.
Brain and Nervous System
At 12 weeks of conception, the fetus\’s brain and nervous system are gradually maturing. At this time, the fetus can already make facial expressions, kick its legs, and dance its limbs. At the same time, the fetus can also respond accordingly to external stimuli. For example, when the mother touches her belly, the fetus will reach out. This shows that the fetus\’s sensory system is further developing and its senses are gradually maturing.
Circulatory system
At 12 weeks of conception, the fetus\’s heart is gradually taking shape and begins to beat at a normal speed. At this time, the fetal heart is about the size of a candy bar. In addition, the fetal circulatory system also gradually develops and improves. At this time, the fetal blood can flow from the heart to other parts.
Digestive system
At twelve weeks, the fetal digestive system is gradually developing. At this time, the fetus\’s stomach and intestines are beginning to function. In addition, the fetus\’s tiny liver can also be seen. This shows that the fetus can already begin to absorb nutrients from the nutrients provided by the mother in the womb.
Summary
At twelve weeks of conception, the fetal body, brain and nervous system, circulatory system and digestive system are gradually taking shape. The fetal body shape is also more complete. During the development of the fetus, maternal nutrition and health care also play an important role and require special attention.
