SCRIBE!!

HEY EVERYONE! It's Allie, and today was Tuesday, January 10. In class we reviewed the Menstrual Cycle, and for the rest of class we watched clips of a video. We went over the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester, and DELIVERY!! FUN? Yeah I know. What we learned was, in the 1st trimester the head is massive compared to the body, and the placenta is the life support for the fetus. 2nd trimester to start out the fetus is no bigger than a fist, and by the end of the trimester the fetus starts to mimic normal movements such as swallowing, and grasping. 3rd trimester the fetus gains weight FAST, he/she can recognize their mothers voice, and can recognize and move to music (if it's recognized). During delivery, the cervix has to open 10 centimeters, and any where around 2 weeks a way from the due date is safe for the baby to be born. AND REMEMBER STUDY FOR THE TEST THURSDAY!!!!!!
