REFLECTION PAPER
PRE-NATAL DEVELOPMENT
Pre-natal development is one of the most interesting topics. For me this topic is a joyful
and blissful topic an ever know because it will describe the development of a young child the
slowly grow inside in the womb of its mother until its delivery in these world. This topic will tell all
the process while the baby is in the womb of the mother and safety precaution for the health
baby.
In this topic it tells that in pre-natal development is undergo in three stages: germinal,
embryonic and fatal stage. In germinal stage the it occurs in 2 weeks after the intercourse, within
this time the sperm and egg will unite and form into a zygote and continue to cell division and
after few days it will attach in the wall of uterus after a few weeks the zygote will develop into
embryo which it is the embryonic stage it will happen during 2 to 8 weeks this time the organs of
the baby appear and life-system is develop. Every human is needing a life-support in order to
survive even me that’s why the baby in the womb of the mother need a life-support through the
placenta, umbilical-cord and amnion, these three life-support gives the baby in daily need of the
baby while in its mother’s womb. Every day the embryo still developing until it reaches to fatal
stage where the body parts of the baby is slowly developing also the internal organs of the baby
until it fully develops into a human baby it happens during the 2 months until 9 months of
pregnancy.
During this pregnancy stage of the mother I know that being pregnant is not easily cause
the mother is carrying a human life inside in her womb that’s why in the pre-natal development
there are safety precautions in order the mothers attain a good health also their baby while in
womb like taking drugs that only prescribed by the doctor avoid in hazardous environment, aviod
taking psychoactive drugs and other maternal factor that will result a deficiency of the baby.
So, I conclude that the role of the woman is not an easy task in a family where its need a
lot of precaution and rules to follow during its pregnancy cause the woman is carrying a life
where one mistake or miscarrying the baby it will result a big problem or it can be lost the life of
the young child in the womb.
