An ultrasound showing an embryo measured to have a crown-rump length of 1.67 cm and estimated to have a gestational age of 8 weeks and 1 day. Crown-rump length (CRL) is the measurement of the length of human embryos and fetuses from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the buttocks (rump).
Obstetric ultrasonography, or prenatal ultrasound, is the use of medical ultrasonography in pregnancy, in which sound waves are used to create real-time visual images of the developing embryo or fetus in the uterus (womb).
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]
US: Fetal breathing movements At least one episode of > 30s or >20s [3] in 30 minutes None or less than 30s or 20s [3] US: Fetal activity / gross body movements At least three discrete body/limb movement in 30 minutes (episodes of active continuous movement considered a single movement. Less than three or two [3] movements US: Fetal muscle tone
Breast development throughout pregnancy may result in significant Areola and Areolar gland enlargement, erectile nipples, and/or nipple sensitivity. [8] [9] A woman's breasts grow during pregnancy, typically 1 to 2 cup sizes. [10] A woman who wore a C cup bra prior to her pregnancy may need to buy an F cup or larger bra while nursing. [11]
A human fetus, attached to placenta, at three months gestational age. In humans, the fetal stage starts nine weeks after fertilization. [7] At this time the fetus is typically about 30 millimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in length from crown to rump, and weighs about 8 grams. [7] The head makes up nearly half of the size of the fetus. [8]
The blue line is the mean, and the green area delimits the 5th and the 95th percentiles. [2] A: Gestational sac, B: Crown-rump length of embryo, C: Amniotic sac, D: Yolk sac. The mean sac diameter [3] can effectively estimate the gestational age [4] between 5 and 6 weeks, with an accuracy of about +/- 5 days. [5]
Cannabis use during pregnancy was unrelated to risk of perinatal death or need for special care, but, the babies of women who used cannabis at least once per week before and throughout pregnancy were 216g lighter than those of non‐users, had significantly shorter birth lengths and smaller head circumferences.
