I am having a high risk pregnancy, and am afraid I will end up delivering early. I am 29 almost 30 weeks and I was just wondering if she will be ok if I do go into labor.
I read that the survival rates for babys born at 24 weeks are pretty good right now. At 30 weeks, your baby would have a fair chance. Good Luck!
1.When does fertilization occur? What are the steps of fertilization?
2.At what point does an embryo turn into a fetus? Describe what a baby looks like at this stage of development.
3.At what point is the brain developed enough for movement? Describe the activities this allows the baby to do?
4.What is “quickening”? When does this phenomenon occur?
5.Why is the 28th week a crucial point in the development of the fetus? (Think about premature infant survival rate.)
6.Describe some of the physiological events that occur in a baby’s body as it is born and leaves the womb behind.
1. 2 weeks after the first day of the last normal menstrual period - The sperm and egg join in the fallopian tube and fertilization has occurred. A single sperm penetrates the mother's egg cell, and the resulting cell is called a zygote.
2. 8 weeks - The unborn baby is now called a fetus. The fetus is protected by the amniotic sac and filled with fluid.
3. 6-7 weeks : The brain develops into five areas -The major muscle system is developed, and the baby starts to practice moving.
4. Quickening is defined as the first time you feel your baby move. This is a long anticipated event in every pregnancy. If you are expecting your first baby you can expect to feel your baby for the first time between 18 and 24 weeks gestation.
5. •The fetus has its own regular intervals for sleeping and being awake.
•The weight has increased to 1000 grams and is 37.5cm in length.
•2.2 pounds weight and is 14.8 inches in length from head to heel.
•The feet are just over 2 inches (5.5cm) long.
•The hair on the head is now clearly visible.
•The milk teeth have developed under the gums.
•The eyes are starting to move in their sockets.
6. Newborn babies don't have the ability to control their temperature well, so it's very important that they be kept warm and dry. He'll be covered with a warm towel or blanket and given a cap to keep his head warm.
aren't a lot of these babies stillborn in the rest of the world? Where does a premature infant have a better chance of survival, in an American hospital or, say, a British or French one?
What are the statistics on stillbirth?
The infant mortality statistic is badly skewed. It is calculated differently in different countries.
Any honest statistician would easily point out that flaw. Unfortunately, those who are interested in exerting power over the US healthcare system don't employee honest statisticians.

Is this your homework?

They definitely are homework. Do your own work.

Why Do All The People Quoting “infant Mortality Rates” In The Us ...
Official World Health Organization statistics show the U.S. lagging behind France in infant mortality rates — 6.7 per 1,000 live births vs. 3.8 for France. Halderman notes that in the U.S., any infant born that shows any sign of life for any length of time is considered a live birth. In France — in fact, in most of the European Union — any baby born before 26 weeks’ gestation is not considered alive and therefore doesn’t “count” in reported infant mortality rates. http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles…
And don’t forget about anchor babies. A woman 8.5 months pregnant and having suffered through years of poverty in a more statist society comes here in the back of a trailer, with little food and no medical attention at all, gets in, goes to a hospital, guess what – her baby counts, whether it lives or dies. Even though it’s the product of a system that is pretty much the opposite of ours.
