Development Development
• In the earliest stages of development, a human baby is called an embryo
• After the first eight weeks of pregnancy, a human embryo is then called a foetus
• At this stage the foetus has all the main human features
• The foetus continues to develop and grow inside its mothers’ uterus for a total of 40 weeks
• In the earliest stages of development, a human baby is called an embryo
• After the first eight weeks of pregnancy, a human embryo is then called a foetus
• At this stage the foetus has all the main human features
• The foetus continues to develop and grow inside its mothers’ uterus for a total of 40 weeks
BirthBirth After the gestation period (9 months or 40 weeks) the
foetus is ready to be born
At this point the uterus begins to contract - these are gentle at first, but become more powerful as labour moves on
The muscles of the cervix begin to relax, and the cervix gets wider allowing the baby through - at some stage the amnion breaks and the amniotic fluid is released
Usually the head comes out first, and the baby begins to breathe almost immediately - the umbilical cord is tied and cut (this is our navel or belly button)
Finally, after about half an hour after the birth the placenta breaks away from the uterus and passes out of the vagina (afterbirth)

CareCare After birth what does the baby need?
It is vital the baby receives a great deal of care, as it is completely reliant on the mother to survive
For the first few months the baby needs to be fed on milk from the breasts (mammary glands) - this contains nutrients allowing the baby to grow
Just as importantly this milk contains antibodies which help protect the baby from diseases (artificial milk does not contain this)

Birth Of A BabyBirth Of A Baby
The baby’s head clears the birth canal (vagina) and rotates to make sure
shoulders, arms and legs pass through
The uterus muscles contract to push the baby out. The amnion tears and the
amniotic fluid passes out. At this point women usually say ”their waters have
broken”
The uterus muscle contractions cause the cervix to widen and stretch so that the
uterus and vagina become one long passage, and the baby is moved down
The baby is born. The umbilical cord is cut. About half an hour later the placenta
breaks away from the uterus and passes out of the vagina. This is called afterbirth
The muscles of the uterus start to contract
The baby is in the uterus inside the amnion. The baby is held in place by the
cervix

I’ve been in here nine monthsAnd although its cosy and warmI guess its about timeFor me to be born
The first thing that mum feelsIs something called a contractionThe uterus walls squeezeAnd it shrinks just a fraction
They may make mum winceBut they are over in a secBut the nearer the birth becomesThe closer they get
Quite near the endThe amniotic sac tears openOut comes the fluid and mum says‘oh my waters have broken’
My mum starts to pushAnd the uterus keeps squeezingI come out head firstAnd promptly start screaming
Now I’m out in the worldI can start to breather airBut I still need my mumFor food, love and care
