1. Share five important lessons you learned, from conception to birth.
2. What is your reaction to this documentary?
From the video, I learned that the process from conception to birth is very complex and contains
multiple steps. The lesson I learned is that when the blastocyst reaches the end of the fallopian
tube and arrives in the uterus, the development process begins for the next nine months. The
fallopian tube then becomes the top of the head and the body grows from down below. Then
after four weeks, the embryo grows about one millimeter a day, along with other organs. After
two months the fetus is now dependent on the placenta, which not only gives what the fetus
needs but also helps filter out harmful viruses and diseases. I also learned that once a fetus hits
their third trimester it should have tripled its weight as well as doubled their length
I thought the documentary was very informative, I was very surprised to watch the growth of an
individual. When watching the video everything looked so new to me. Throughout the
documentary I kept getting more interested, just seeing all the phases of development and
looking at the growth was so fascinating.
