The parts of the fetal brain that control movement will not fully form until late in the second trimester, and the first part of the third trimester. [7] Control of movement is limited at birth, and purposeful voluntary movements develop during the long period up until puberty. [ 8 ]
The findings show that some parts of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but become better connected. Scans show changes in brain during pregnancy Skip to main content
With the brain, this process happens early in development, again during puberty, and pregnancy probably reflects another wave of cortical refinement.” Increase in brain white matter during pregnancy
In pregnancy terms, quickening is the moment in pregnancy when the pregnant woman starts to feel the fetus's movement in the uterus. [1] It was believed that the quickening marked the moment that a soul entered the fetus, termed ensoulment .
The effect on a woman’s brain after childbirth is well documented. But, the arrival of a baby can also provoke a significant neurological response in the male brain. How the male brain changes ...
According to a study conducted by Whitcome, et al., lumbar lordosis can increase from an angle of 32 degrees at 0% fetal mass (i.e. non-pregnant women or very early in pregnancy) to 50 degrees at 100% fetal mass (very late in pregnancy). Postpartum, the angle of the lordosis declines and can reach the angle prior to pregnancy.
The frontal lobe (highlighted in red) is one part of the fetus's brain that can be negatively affected by decreased levels of oxygen due to intrauterine hypoxia. Intrauterine hypoxia is a condition or state caused by insufficient oxygen levels reaching a fetus during gestation, having detrimental effects on the development of its central ...
