In Biology.... We have received partners for the "baby project". Upon doing so we were given a sesame seed to represent the "child" we will be having. In an effort to learn about the changes that occur to the Mom, Unborn child, and Dad during pregnancy, we have been asked to create Mommy/Daddy Blogs. Well here goes...
During the first 4 weeks of pregnancy many changes affect the Mom, Unborn child, and Dad. while the Dads changes remain strictly physiological, the mom and child also undergo physical changes.
The Dad during pregnancy is psychological plagued by the fact that this is his child and that he will be a father. While dealing with this emotional turmoil he must also assist his spouse with her struggles.
The Mom during the first 4 weeks of pregnancy must not only deal with the emotions that she will be a mommy, but she must also coop with several physical changes. The mother may start showing early pregnancy symptoms like bloating, cramping, and mood swings. She might also experience implantation bleeding and she might feel pressure in her abdomen. Her breasts may become tender and even bigger. But, these effects will also worsen for the mom as the pregnancy continues.
The most change during the first 4 weeks occurs to the unborn child. as big as a poppy seed, the cells that will develop into the baby has entered the uterus. Once there it will undergo a division by splitting into two groups. Half will become the baby, while the other half forms the placenta. The multilayered embryo then begins to grow into specialized parts of the baby's body. The inner layer or the endoderm, will develop into the baby's digestive system, liver, and lungs. The middle layer, called the mesoderm, will become the baby's heart, sex organs, bones, kidneys, and muscles. The outer layer, or ectoderm, will form the baby's nervous system, hair, skin, and eyes.
