Week 1

Your Baby:

Once your ovum is being fertilized only one day & it is divided into 2 parts. This process continues for the coming days & forms a ball named “zygote" with more than 100 cells. In five days the ball of cells begins to divide into two groups: The placenta that will host your baby & the other group that will become the embryo. The cells of the embryo are named mother cells & have the ability to be 200 cells of different classes of any part of the body (this is the reason to investigate treatments of certain diseases using the mother cells). In the seventh day the fertilized ovum sweeps down the fallopian tube & reaches the uterus (the refuge of your baby during the coming nine months).
