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
undercooked foods
Herbal Remedies
Lead
Stress (hard to avoid during pregnancy)
Vitamin A

Baby project first questions

The changes occuring in the zygote are the development of a yolk sac, formation of the zygote, and formation of the epidermis for the embryo.
Changes in the mother during this period is the stopping of the menstrual cycle, an increase in weight, and mood swings.
Changes in the father during this period are a spike in the hormone cortisol (causing stress) and a fall in testosterone.
Changes that parents should consider are to halt drug use, change to a healthier diet, make sure the mother gets the right excersize, and making sure they have enough time planned out to take care of the child.

Task #1 activity

As scientists we all agreed that the benefits outweighed the risks. Even though the risks were harmful, the benefits can lead to stopping malnutrition, a healthier food supply, and help to prevent harmful diseases.

Scientist questions

1.A few benefits to Genetically engineered food are that there are more productive and have a bigger harvest, offer better flavor and nutrition, contain possiblitiy of elimination of allergens in certain foods, better resistance to environment, and are more environmentally friendly.
2.A few risks to genetically engineered foods are that there is an increase in the risk of cancer development, toxins and piosons develped in the food, damage to food qualtity and nutrition, antibiotic resistance, and genetic pollution.
3. Yes, because the things that could be accomplished are extremly helpful to people and are definatly worth the risks.

Introduction ?'s

1.The use of technology to aalter the genes of organisms to develop new species which have certain traits to help with nutrition, marketing, or production.

2.Genetically modified foods are foods developed from genetically modified organisms.

3.Some benefits are that are more productive and have a bigger harvest, offer better flavor and nutrition, contain possiblitiy of elimination of allergens in certain foods, better resistance to environment, and are more environmentally friendly.
4. Some risks are that there is an increase in the risk of cancer development, toxins and piosons develped in the food, damage to food qualtity and nutrition, antibiotic resistance, and genetic pollution.
