Factpack: Pregnancy Timeline

The video tutorial covers the journey from conception to birth. It begins with the fertilization of the egg by sperm, leading to the formation of an embryo. The embryo transitions into a fetus by week 4, with significant developments occurring at various stages of pregnancy. By week 7, the fetus is developing organs and limbs. By 15 weeks, it has fingernails and can hear sounds. At 24 weeks, all organs are formed, and by 30 weeks, the fetus can distinguish light from dark. The final weeks involve the fetus preparing for birth, with the lungs maturing and the baby settling into a head-down position. Birth is expected by week 40.
