Summary:
Prenatal development refers to the growth of the baby from the time of conception until birth. The growth that occurs during this time is more rapid and miraculous than the growth and changing that the individual will experience at any other time of life. The body will develop from one cell, smaller than the period on a page to an infant weighing approximately 7 1/2 pounds and containing about 200 billion cells. All this occurs in a nine-month time period. There are many things one can do to prepare and have a safe and enjoyable pregnancy.
