Day 2 carrying baby

Todays was not much different than last day. A few problems with writing but again were soon solved. I do realize though that having a actual baby would be much more difficult!

Day with Babies

The first day with the 'babies" we were given was nothing very difficult. I found it a bit difficult to write without to hands to hold down the paper, but a little angle change solved that. Otherwise that it was not hard to deal with.

Day 5 ?s

1. the life card stated that the mother has gestational diabetes which means that they have a high blood sugar. The cause of this is most likely pregnancy hormones will block insulin. The treatment for this disease is diet and excresize so that the mother maintains a healthy blood sugar level.
2. a fetus at 24 weeks has a weight of 600g and a length at 30cm, development of lungs has started, fully developed taste buds, and nearly developed finger and toe prints.

Day 4 ?s

1.The life card stated that my insureance was out. this means if the mother of father had mediacl problems, they would have to pay it themselves. This could lead to not being able to have certain procedures done which can habe medical complications for the baby.
2. A fetus at 16 weeks has a length of 10cm, a weight of 100g, a working circulatory and urinary system.

Embryonic Development ?s

1. The process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type,
2.
3.  The zygote turns into a blastocyst which then turns into gastrula and then its starts producing stem cells that eventually turn into other types of cells (blood, muscle, nerve etc.)
4. The Ectoderm turns into skin cells, brain cells, and pigment cells. Mesoderm turns into muscle system, blood, kidneys. Endoderm turns into lungs, thyriod, and pancreas.

Day Three ?s. baby blog

1. My concerns are that we will have to have two babies to take care of instead of just one. This means that there will be more responsilbility and it will be more inconvenient. It also means more of a chance of screwing up.
2. Some options for a couple whose have had a miscarrige or were never pregnant are adoption, artificial inseminatio, the use of a surrogate mother, sperm donation, and egg donation.

Baby ?s day two.

In the 4th to 8th weeks of pregnancy, the baby will have developed their ears, diaphragm elbows' fingernails, toenails, eyelids, upper and lower jaw, knees, nipples, and coller bone. Reflexes and brain waves are also present. The baby is also about 20-30mm long.
Changes in a mother's body at this stage are an increase in size of her stomach and uterus.
The odds of twins are 1 in 100. The odds of having triplets are 1 in 6400.
The way to choose a docter or midwife depends on condition and whether a practitioner is already seen for regular procedures and is acceptable for help during pregnancy. Also where the parents want to give birth and what approach they want.
List of things to avoid during pregnancy:
Over the counter meds
Second hand smoke (smoke in general)
Overheating the body
Too much Caffine
Cat Litter
