Fetus development week by week


                                       Fetus development week by week
                                                                        Fetus
                                                                  development
                                                                  week by week



1st Weeks to 2nd weeks


During the first two weeks, the egg and sperm meet and create the zygote, which then becomes a blast cyst and attaches to the uterus wall. The embryo then begins to take on a more human-looking appearance.


3rd Weeks to 5th weeks


Around week 3, the brain, spinal cord, heart and gastrointestinal tract develop. During weeks 4 and 5, the heart begins to beat, blood begins to move and bones, eyes, ears and arm and leg buds begin to form. The brain also begins its own development, forming into five areas with cranial nerves.

6th Weeks to 7th weeks




In week 6, arm and leg buds have formed. Fingers and toes may be present, but they will often be webbed in structure. The lungs form and the brain grow. The seventh week is when nipples, hair follicles and organs begin to form.

                                                                                 at week 8

8th Weeks to 12th weeks




During the eighth week, the face begins to form more, including eyelids, ears and other features. In the last three weeks of the first trimester, tooth buds appear and genitals become defined.

                                                                                     at week 12





13th Weeks to 16th weeks


In the first three weeks of the second trimester, lanugos–or fine hair–begin to develop on the head of the fetus, bones harden, muscles develop and the fetus begins to move on its own.

17th Weeks to 19th weeks


The fetus gains the ability to hear and moves so much that the mother can feel it.


20th Weeks to 23rd weeks


Fetus Development at week 20

In week 20, lanugos can cover the whole body; nails, eyebrows and eyelashes appear; and the fetus’s heartbeat is strong enough to be heard with only a stethoscope. Weeks 21 to 23 of the fetus’s development are when fat begins to be stored, bone marrow makes blood cells and the airways in the fetus’s lungs develop further.


24th Weeks to 25th weeks


In the final two weeks of the second trimester, footprints and fingerprints form, the fetus gains a startle reflex and the lungs form air sacs.

26th Weeks to 28th weeks


In weeks 26 to 28, the brain, nervous system and respiratory system develop, and the fetus’s eyelids are able to open and close.

29th Weeks to35th weeks


                                                                          Fetus 
                                                                            Development
                                                                               at week 30




During weeks 29 to 35, the fetus stores more body fat, the bones finish developing and breathing movement occurs, even though no true breathing is occurring.

36th Weeks


By week 36, the fetus is almost fully developed and can be born with no medical complications, although some are still possible depending on individual differences in development. In week 36, lanugos begin to slough off, and fingernails grow to the ends of the fingertips.


37th Weeks to 41st weeks


During the final three weeks, only small changes occur, such as the further shedding of lanugos, growth of fingernails and growth of hair on the head.

What Causes Nasal Congestion in Babies?


                                    Causes of Nasal Congestion in Baby


Nasal congestion in baby is almost a universal phenomenon occurring. Nasal congestion in babies is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Baby soft and rich because of nasal blood vessels are likely to experience mild irritation edema. The original is narrower than the narrow walls of the nasal cavity shortness of breath. In addition, nasal blockage caused by nasal secretions is an important reason.


The causes of nasal congestion are as follows:

Common cold

The common cold is a likely cause of nasal congestion. Most colds are caused by a virus, but bacteria can also cause this type of illness. When an infant contracts the cold, the nasal passages in the nose become irritated and excess mucus is produced as the body attempts to fight off the infection.


Flu

The flu is often seasonal, occurring between November and March each year. Once inhaled or ingested, the virus begins irritating the lining of the sinuses, creating congestion and the production of mucus.


Sinus infection

A sinus infection can be caused by a virus, bacteria or fungus, explains the National Institutes of Health. This illness can impact infants, especially following a cold or the flu. It occurs when the sinuses become blocked with mucus, allowing bacteria and other germs to reproduce. The germs cause nasal inflammation and the blocked mucus exacerbates the stuffiness.

Allergic rhinitis

For perennial allergic rhinitis, all year round, and reason from insect secretions, fungi, dust mites, animal skins, such as.

Symptoms of Growth Speed


                                          Signs of Growth Speed


  • Signs of growth speed first 1-3 of weeks shortly after the birth, and 6-8 weeks next. After that, you can expect that in three months, six months, and nine months of the baby signs of growth.




  •  The first sign of a growth spurt in babies is their frequent feeding. Your baby may appear to be hungry all the time and you find yourself nursing it more than often. 




  • The mother needs to also remember that the more the baby feeds; more will be the stimulation for the milk production so as to match the increasing appetite of the baby. In case of slightly older babies along with the breast milk they will also want to increase their intake of solid foods that they have been introduced to.


  • Another one of the baby growth spurt signs is that the baby will end up sleeping for longer hours. In such cases the baby should not to woken up to be fed. This is because that the baby is growing as he is sleeping and the right amount of physical development will occur only if the baby gets adequate sleep.

Handling Growth Speed




  • A parent needs to know how to manage these developmental stages as they play a crucial role. You need to take care of yourself as well during this period.








  • Since the baby is continuously feeding you need to ensure that he gets all the essential nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body system. Ample rest is also important for a child undergoing growth spurts.






  • Growth spurts in infants is constant and necessary part of the body and mature, should be regarded as a milestone.

What Daddy Should Pack for the Hospital


                                                        Father's Care

There’s so much emphasis on the mother-to-be throughout pregnancy, and often the dad is overlooked. As he is just as important a part of the process, there should be some thought put into the role that he plays. Without the dad or a similar system of support, the entire experience is made much more difficult for the mom. Both partners need each other and that’s why it’s so important to ensure that dad is available and present.


The dad wants to be a part of the birthing process just as much as anybody. He can offer comfort and support as the mom makes it through all of the different stages of labor. Every dad wants to be there to meet their new little bundle of joy for the first time, as it’s one of those precious moments in life that you will always treasure. So just as the mom has to get ready for the big arrival, the dad should be prepared and packed for the hospital stay as well.


Playing the Support Role


Though this role is crucial to the birth of his child, the dad will ultimately play a support role. As he packs for the hospital, he should ensure that many of the items on his checklist reflect this role and are in place to help mom through the stages and get everything in order after the birth. Take a look at this checklist for example whereby many of the items recommended for daddy to bring include those which will support his partner. Consider bringing items such as a stop watch and a pad of paper to write down contraction times and track the labor overall. Be sure to bring along a video camera, regular camera, and anything else that can be used to capture every aspect of the birth that you will surely want to remember later on.


Bring whatever is necessary to keep your partner comfortable and focused. This can include massage oils, scented items to keep her calm, pillows, special comfort items, and of course music. Talk to your partner in advance and be sure that you know what she would like to help keep her calm and as happy as can be throughout the birth process. This is where your support role becomes very important and therefore you want to be prepared to help out in any way that you can.

Getting Yourself Comfortable


Chances are that you’re going to be in the hospital for a while. Either the labor may carry on longer than you had anticipated, or you may be staying with your partner throughout the duration of her hospital visit. Either way you want to be sure to pack a change of clothes and even something comfortable like pajamas for the occasion where you spend the night. Bring some pillows along for you as you can’t always be sure of what the sleeping arrangements will be.


Pack some snacks for yourself as you need to keep your energy up during the long birthing process. Also be sure to bring some money as you will surely have to grab a meal or a snack from the cafeteria during your stay. Along with the camera and any other items that you bring to capture the precious moments, be sure that you bring along the phone numbers of anybody that you’ll want to contact with the good news after the birth. All of these things will make your stay more comfortable and allow you to focus on your partner and your new baby.

Mother Care


                                                      Recovering From Birth


Nothing – but nothing – can prepare you for the mind-blowing impact of having a baby. Your nether regions will be very sore, your breasts will be tender, huge and unfamiliar, and you’re likely to be hormonal. The next few weeks will be a strange, dreamlike twilight zone, where night and day merge into one, and you wander around in an exhausted but (hopefully) euphoric haze. You’ll never know tiredness like this again, but there will be days when you’ll be so bursting with love for your baby, you’ll cry.

Immediately after the birth


If you gave birth in hospital, try to make the most of your time there to rest and learn about caring for your baby. The midwives will spend as much time with you as they can, helping you breastfeed and teaching you how to bathe the baby and change his nappy. But if you feel you’re not getting enough attention, it is important to say so. A midwife will also visit you regularly at home over the next few days, so make the most of her experience and ask anything you need to ask.


For the 10% of mums whose baby is whisked away at birth and placed in the hospital’s Special Care Baby Unit (known as SCBU), this is a worrying time, as they know doctors think their baby needs special medical attention. There’s no doubt it can be scary to see your vulnerable little newborn wired up in an incubator, but don’t forget your emotions are likely to be all over the place, and he really is in the best possible hands.

Back home with baby


Many mums spend a day or two in hospital after the birth, which means they get home just as their milk kicks in, the baby blues hit and everyone wants to come and visit. Try these coping tips:



  • Forget about housework and cooking, just sleep when you can.
  • Remind yourself continually that this chaos won’t last.
  • Remind yourself that you need to rest to make milk for your baby (write it down and ask your partner to read it to you every morning).
  • Don’t get hung up on bathtimes. If your baby loves a bath (and dads are just as good at doing baths as mum) then great. If he really doesn’t like being bathed, just ‘top and tail’ (wash face and bottom) for a few days.
  • Don’t worry about daytime versus night-time clothes - your baby won’t know the difference. As long as he’s clean, he doesn’t need to be in a new outfit twice a day.
  • If your baby is fractious, experiment with different holding positions and – if that fails – hand him to someone else. Quite often a calmer pair of arms (and a body that doesn’t smell of breast milk) will settle him. If there’s no one else around, place him in his cot/Moses basket, check he’s safe, then walk away for a few minutes. Sometimes babies get over-stimulated and just want a bit of time on their own to cool off.

Don’t torture yourself by trying to remember how many times you were up during the night so you can play ‘competitive exhaustion’ with your partner or other mums. Far better to just float through the night in a half-sleep daze with the lights dimmed and the clock turned to the wall. After a while you’ll wake up in the morning unable to remember whether you were up in the night or not.
Your post-birth body


Having been through birth, your body will need time to recover. You’ll be bleeding quite heavily (even if you’ve had a c-section), and your breasts will probably leak. Don’t expect to feel sexy! Your bedtime outfit will include: a sleep bra to hold breast pads in place; huge knickers stuffed with an industrial-size sanitary pad: and a big nightie to cover the whole lot up when you’re pacing the corridors all night. But rest assured, it will pass. Bleeding stops after about a month (sometimes much sooner), the leaky boobs will settle down once feeding gets into a rhythm, and eventually, your baby will adopt a sleeping routine which means you can spend most of the night in bed, ideally asleep!

Two weeks later


After two weeks your midwife will discharge you and your partner will most likely go back to work. This can be a tough time, as sleep-deprivation will be building up, and that initial ‘I’ve had a baby!’ euphoria could be wearing off. A happy, snoozy baby may develop colic (see our special feature), and crying levels could significantly increase. Try these tips:


Make the most of your health visitor. She’s a specialist in baby problems and will have lots of solutions for you to try

  • Make use of visitors. Ask them to cuddle the baby while you have a bath. You don’t have to run around after them, they should be looking after you! 
  • Never turn down any offer of help. In fact, write a list of jobs and allocate them to anyone who asks.
  • If you’re beginning to feel as if everyone is interested in the baby and not you, say to yourself: ‘I grew this baby, I’m amazing, I matter’. And repeat it. Often.

After Delivery Exercise Care


                                     10 Tips for Exercise after Delivery


The first few weeks after childbirth can be a hectic time for the new mother. Taking a shower may seem like a big accomplishment! Although you might feel pressured for time, it is important to resume exercise as soon as you have permission from your health care provider. Exercise will help you recover postpartum, increase energy levels and return to pre-pregnancy proportions. Here are 10 exercise tips to keep in mind:

1. As soon as you can, start practicing Kegel Exercises: Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, imagine pulling your vaginal opening up toward the inside of your belly button. Relax as you inhale and repeat 20 times.


2. Tummy Toner: Inhale while expanding your belly and then as you exhale, pull your belly button toward your spine. Repeat 20 times.


3. Drink lots of water before, during and after exercise. For the lactating mom, drink at least eight ounces of water both before and after exercise. The best way to assess adequate hydration is to look at the color of your urine. Your urine should be a clear pale yellow. If the urine appears darker, then you need to drink more.


4. Eat at regular intervals and include healthy snacks. For the lactating mom, eat a piece of fruit, half a sandwich or salad after each time you nurse and then after exercise.


5. Wear a supportive bra during exercise. If you need more support, try wearing two bras.


6. Avoid exercising to fatigue. Start out slowly and plan to rest when baby is sleeping at least once a day. 


7. Get into a routine. Start out walking your baby for 15 minutes twice a day. Gradually increase your time as tolerated. Eventually, try to walk at least 30-40 minutes once a day or take two 20-minute walks on most days of the week. 


8. The exercise session should feel good and enhance your feelings of well being. There should be no pain or heavy bleeding associated with the exercise session.


9. For lactating moms, infant weight gain should be normal. If there is a problem, decrease exercise intensity and consult your health care provider. 


10. It took you nine months to grow a baby and it may take you up to nine months to return to your pre-pregnancy shape. Be sensible and take it slow.



 (Do not exercise if you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, pain, breast infection or abscess.)

New Born Baby Care


A new born baby needs more care and love from his/her mother and family. The prestigious stage in women’s life is the motherhood. But it is not only the prestigious stage; it is the stage where the women meet so many responsibilities to take care of her child. Some important notes are below to take care of the newborn baby.

 Eye Care:

A mucus collection in baby’s eyes should be wiped with the boiled water and a clean cloth or cotton. It should be taken during bath. Putting kajal in baby’s eyes is risky thing because sometimes it may cause infections or redness in the eye. Sometimes due to dust in the eye, the eyes become red. Putting eye drops under doctor’s advice is prescribed.

Mouth and Nose Care:

The lips should be cleaned with boiled water each time after taking the food. A white liquid substance will come during the intake of milk. It indicates the fungal infection. It should be taken care immediately with the anti-fungal medicines. A nose should be taken care after the bath using clean cotton or cloth. Sometimes, a liquid like substance may come from baby’s nose. It is common in newborn baby.

Ear and Skin Care:

Cleaning of ear is not necessary in new born baby because it will create infections sometimes. Caring of ear taken after 7 or 8 months is preferable. A new born baby doesn’t need any toiletry products like soap, shampoo, cream etc. Use of mild water in bath is good for baby’s health. Due to mosquito bites, the baby will face the redness in the skin. So, avoiding the mosquito bites is better for the skin. Shampoos should be needed in the case of having dandruff. Otherwise, it is not needed.

General Care:

Disposable diapers are prescribed for new born babies. Cotton diapers are good for the health. The cotton diapers should be washed with the antiseptic solutions. Use of soap is not advisable one. Improper diaper washing may lead to rashes, redness or infection in the baby’s skin. Changing the diaper for every two hours is needed for new born baby.

Pre-Birth Mother Care


Pre-birth mother care is intended to keep the birth mother healthy while the mother is pregnant, during birth, and after the baby is born.
It is also important to insure the baby is born as healthy as can be.

                     Mother's Health during Pregnancy


  •    The mother should first consult with the public hospital when finding out she is pregnant.

  •    They will offer medical advice, and basic medical care, usually for free. In the bigger cities in Cambodia, this is quite well organized, as many international NGO's provide funding, training, and oversight. They will also collect information from you, so at the time of birth, they can be prepared for any complications.

  •   If you have any medical problems, be sure to let them know at the beginning of the consultation.

  • They will provide an Echo Scan picture of the fetus a few months before birth, to determine any potential problems with the baby and delivery. The will also determine with fairly good accuracy, what sex the baby is. There is usually a small fee for this service.

  •  Make sure you follow the advice. If you don't understand their advice, keep asking questions until you completely understand.

  •   The expectant mother should get some excerpting while pregnant. This is important for both the health of the mother and the health of the baby. A fast paced walk for 15 minutes a day will do, until a month or 6 weeks before expected delivery.

  • If the expectant mother is sick, she should get medical attention immediately, as any sickness in the mother can affect the health of the baby.

  • If any drugs are prescribed, the mother should make sure that these drugs won't affect the health of the baby. A medical drug reference book, or a check on the internet should suffice. A pharmacist's advice in Cambodia should always be double checked with a reliable source.

  •    Also, if you are taking more than one drug at a time, you should verify that this combination is safe. You should also double check the proper dosage, side effects, and precautions for the drugs.

          
                    Certain foods should be avoided




  Alcohol and Caffeine will both damage a baby's health. Alcohol is found in beer, wine and whiskey, and even in some medicines. Caffeine is found in coffee and soda. Yes, Coca has caffeine and so most other sodas. While you are pregnant, much of what goes into your body also goes into a baby's body.


Some other things concerning your babies health while you are pregnant.


* Keep you teeth in good condition. Recent studies link poor tooth care in the expectant mother to problems with a babies health.


* Don't sit or stand too long.


* Avoid heavy lifting in the last 6 months of pregnancy.


*Keep away from people with communicable diseases.


* Avoid smoke from all sources. Cigarette smoke, smoke from cooking fires and burning trash. Smoke from soldering or welding. Smoke from incense and mosquito coils. Remember, what goes into your body goes into your baby's as well.


* Also, avoid all pesticides. You don't want to touch pesticides, breath in fumes from pesticides, or eat foods that have been sprayed with pesticide.


   You will want to examine the environment, if you are working. Many chemicals used in manufacturing or recycling, which are bad for you, are also bad for your baby


Drink lots of fluids, mostly water or tea while you are pregnant. 

 Examining your current work and home situation

Avoid work with long hours or heavy lifting.


Avoid stressful work.


Avoid excessive travel.


If you're sick, rest and do everything you can to recover quickly.


Don't eat too much fish. Many fish have mercury poisoning.


Don't eat any raw fish. Also, avoid soft cheese.


Avoid uncooked eggs and meats.


Having sex is o.k. Until the last month or two of pregnancy. Just not too hard. Avoid lying on you back flat during sex.


Don't get near wet paint or other liquids (like glue) that have fumes.


Don't get x-rays while pregnant if not absolutely necessary. Especially avoid x-rays near the stomach. And make sure to let the x-ray doctor know you are pregnant before having an x-ray.


You should have your plan for delivery before it is time to give birth. You should be near your doctor or hospital in the last few weeks before the expected birth time.

Importance of Regular Exercise


                            Regular Physical Exercise


          Every person should try to remain fit and healthy through their life. Fitness has a lot to do with physical exercise. And the practice of doing physical exercise cannot be taught in a day or two. The orientation to physical exercise and fitness must begin right at early ages.



  • Exercising makes you more energetic. 
  • Children develop spontaneity in activities and they are always in their best spirit when they regularly exercise.
  • Physical exercise keeps away obesity in children
  • Builds muscular strength and mighty bones
  • Helps in overall growth, development and strength
  • Helps them perform better in school and studies
  • Defends diseases like type 2 diabetes and controls cholesterol

Exercise Schedule

The practical part of physical exercise has to be maintained in a proper and regular schedule. Children do have a specific time for playing and doing exercises. Therefore guide your kids in a routine way to play and practice exercises.
A preschool child or toddler must be allowed to play freely for half an hour to one hour on regular basis. If the kid wants to play more, always encourage.
A school-going kid must play at least for an hour daily. Along with playing soccer or any other game, jogging and aerobics can be regularly done. If your child is unable to practice for a stretch of time, the exercise schedule can be divided into fifteen minutes or half an hour stretches.


Participation by Parents


You are aware of the advantages of physical exercises in your kid’s life. Also you know how to allocate time to gain these benefits. But what can you do  to help them live fit?
Encourage your child to play along with studies. Computer games and television watching have to be cut short. Researches have found that more young children are becoming inactive and inert due to TV watching.
Allow your children in different outdoor games. Also admit them to swimming classes, general gymnasium or aerobics , if available. Otherwise help them devise some regular exercise routines including skipping, running or other activities. This will help your child even remain mentally fit because the little one will find friends over here and take more interest in these activities.
Children always follow role models, particularly their parents. So why don't you make out some time to play with your kid? You can also fix up a particular schedule of exercising along with your child. This will boost their spirit and build a natural instinct to remain fit from the young age itself.
It is a matter of encouragement ,culture and cultivation. If you as parents can really encourage your children with a proper education of physical exercise from the very beginning, no one can stop them to remain fit.
