It was so worth the wait

„This moment right here – when all the labor pain stops the very second you come face to face with your precious baby.”
“It was so worth the wait.

The miscarriage
The stretch marks
The weight gain

The endless bathroom trips

The new life is now called an embryo, and the work of growing all the systems needed for life in the world goes at a rapid pace. At this point, the embryo is still quite tiny, only about 1/4 inch long.

The respiratory system is next in line: two lung buds will emerge before the end of the fifth week after fertilization (7th week LMP).

A transparent sac called the amnion begins to envelop the embryo at about the same time. The amniotic fluid within will shield her from blows and infection, provide temperature control, and assist muscle and lung growth.

The liver now forms blood for the first time, and the pituitary gland emerges, which will secrete growth hormone. Meanwhile, the embryo’s skin is intact but only one cell thick, and transparent.
