From a foetus to a human being - your baby’s development

The fertilized ovocyte establishes itself in the endometrium at the beginning of the 1st month.

After a few days the foetus already consists of more than 100 cells. During this time the first characteristics of your baby develop. The outer appearance of the foetus resembles a tadpole.

In the 2nd month after conception

the foetus develops into a tiny baby. After just one month, it increases in size from 5 millimetres to 5 centimetres. Now your doctor can recognize the initial developments of eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Additionally the heart starts beating and providing the baby’s body with oxygen.

From the 3rd month onwards

the ultrasonic can show whether the baby is going to be a boy or a girl. Now your baby weighs around 100 grams and it begins to move.

The 4th month of your pregnancy

starts with heavy movements by the baby. It flounders with its legs and it grabs with its hands. Furthermore it feeds on small amounts of amniotic fluid; its tiny kidneys already produce the first urine. All the organs are now nearly perfectly developed.

Up to the 5th month

the baby grows remarkably (to 20 cm and 500 g). Now the heart beats heavily, sometimes one can even hear it throughout your belly. The muscles and skeleton consolidate.

In the 6th month

the baby’s movements increase. He or she constantly moves through your belly, it is bucking, twitching and rotates around itself. The voice of the mother is particularly important in this period.

In the 7th month of pregnancy

the baby is 30 cm tall and weighs around 1500 g. Except for the lungs, all the organs are perfectly developed up to the 9th month. The lungs then develop in the 9th month.

In the 8th month

all organs work entirely independently. By sucking its thumb your child prepares for the sucking on your breast later. Fatty tissue develops. If your child is born in this period, it is already well able to survive.

In the course of the 9th month

your baby moves into the correct position for delivery presentation. From the 35th week of pregnancy onwards the lungs of your child are fully developed. Your baby has a weight of around 3400 g and it is up to 50 cm tall. Now it is only a few days until you will hold your child in your arms.
