Physical development
Intellectual development
Emotional development
Social development
Conception
(9 months before birth)

To complete this process, an egg cell needs a genetic code to create a new life which is carried by the sperm cell. If a male and a female had a sexual intercourse, the sperm from the male will be delivered to the female’s reproductive system which is called the cervix. From the cervix, only a few sperm cells will make it through and they will travel and race to reach the egg cell of the female. Once the sperm cells reached to the egg cell, they will penetrate through the egg cell but only one will make it. And if the sperm penetrates the egg cell, it seals it and the other remaining cells outside dies.
Now the genetic code from the sperm is successfully received by the egg cell, they will then join and start the process for creating a new life.

In this process, the baby’s brain starts to form.
Soon before birth, the baby will then also start to have emotional feelings.
The baby may feel his/her mother’s love and affection towards him/her.
Then the baby may show emotional behaviour like, the baby may smile or feel happy while inside his/her mother’s womb. Basically, the baby begin to have a social life starting with her mother. Even though the baby doesn’t have the ability to speak, he can still hear his mother frequently talking to him so this develops the baby’s social life.
Pregnancy
(9 months to birth)
During this stage, a lot of physical changes will take in place. Obviously, the tummy of the mother will then start to grow and become bigger which means that the baby inside the mother’s womb is growing. And as the baby grows inside her womb, the mother need to eat more food to supply enough nutrients to the baby. So basically, the mother will definitely gain weight as she eats more food than usual.

    When they do, the egg automatically changes to prevent the other sperm from entering by putting up a protective shield which cover the egg right after the sperm has penetrated it. Now comes the process of fertilisation… A new cell starts dividing at a rapid speed when the genetic material from the mother’s egg and father’s sperm are combined. These cells are known as blastocyst. This travels down to the woman’s fallopian tubes, heading to the uterus. The journey itself can take up to three days or more. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean the woman is pregnant- it’s only when the blastocyst has attached itself on the woman’s uterus and then that then develops into an embryo and a placenta. After a few weeks, the woman will miss her period, which will indicate she’s…

    Pregnancy begins when a sperm penetrates an egg. One to one and a half days later, the single fertilised egg cell begins to divide. After two or three days there are enough new cells to make the fertilised egg the same size as a pin head. The collection of cells travels to the lining of the uterus where it becomes anchored. The developing collection of cells is now called an embryo which is attached the wall of the uterus by the placenta.…

    The adoptees' trauma begins the moment she is separated from her birth mother. Some psychologists believe that an infant is not able to differentiate her mother until at least two months of age. At the same time they believe that the infant does not know she is her own entity (Kaplan, 1978). What do mental health professionals believe the infant thinks for these first two months? They will suggest that she is in some type of limbo, that she does not have the capacity to think or know until two months of age. Yet, she somehow knows to cry when she is uncomfortable and how to ingest her food. Psychologists will call this instinct, but we should also look at the possibility of the newborn instinctively knowing who her mother is. After all, they were connected for 40 weeks.…

    Once an egg cell is fertilized, it will undergo division and become an embryo. As an embryo, stem cells that are able to becoming many types of cells in the human body. Scientist research by getting embryos in two ways. A couple's sperm and eggs are fertilized on a experimental dish where the egg develops into embryos, which after are implanted in the female. The second way in which scientists get embryos is therapeutic cloning. This technique merges a cell with a donor egg. The nucleus taken out from the egg and replaced with the nucleus of the patient's cell. The egg is stimulated with either chemicals or electricity, which then the resulting embryo carries the parents genetic material.…
