Miracles......... God's Poetry

Embryonic Development
Called an embryo, once it plants itself in the uterus
This happens on day 18- neural plates develop and this is the beginning of the central nervous system
Day 20 – neural groove will close and become the spine
Day 22- heart beats
Day 26 – arm buds begin to develop
Day 30- eyes and brain form
Day 31- nose and mouth form
Day 37- eyes and ears become more developed, feet appear and the baby is 9 mm long, the head is large
Day 39- looks more like a baby
Day 44- has eye lids
Day 51- eyes, nose, fingers and toes are distinguished further
Day 55- looks unmistakably human
Day 58 – fetal period starts. The baby weighs 3 oz. All organs are there.
The Fetal Period is when the baby grows. The fetus will grow 1 ½ mm a day.
At 28 weeks the baby can survive outside the womb with lungs capable of breathing.
97 % of children are fine at birth, born without problems or defect.
God is good.
