BINCY BABU UNIT 4: DEVELOPMENT THROUGH LIFE STAGES
P1: A description of physical, intellectual, emotional and social development for each of the life stages of an individual For achieving my P1, I need to choose an individual to base my study upon. I decided to choose myself. I am now nearly finishing my teens and entering the adulthood and had undergone all the stages of my life until early adulthood which include from the stage of conception all the way to early adult hood.
Conception
Human life begins with conception. A fertile woman usually produces one egg cell each month, roughly two weeks after the last menstrual period. The egg cell travels from the ovary, along the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If sexual intercourse takes place while the egg is in the fallopian tube, there is a possibility of conception. Only half of all fertilised eggs develop to become babies. Many eggs are lost without a woman knowing that fertilisation ever happened.
Pregnancy
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 size of a pin head. The embryo then gets attached to the wall of the uterus by a placenta. Then a chemical signal stops the woman from having another menstrual period. After eight weeks, the embryo may have grown to between 3 and 4 cm, has a recognisable heartbeat and the beginnings of the eyes, ears, a mouth, legs and arms. At this stage the growing organism is called a foetus. During the remaining seven months before birth, all the organs continue to develop. By 32 weeks, the foetus will be about half its birth rate.
Birth and Infancy (0-3 yrs)
Physically:
At around nine months after the baby being conceived I was born. Myself as a new born baby wouldn’t have been
