The First Trimester takes place from the first week to the 13th week of pregnancy. Fertilization takes place when, in most cases, one sperm is able to make its way through the fallopian tube and burrow into the egg. Once fertilization occurs, the egg will change so that no other sperm can burrow into the egg. The sperm and egg form a new cell known as a zygote. Right when fertilization occurs, all of the child’s genes are set.
[1] Sucking Reflex: The stimulus for this reflex is if you put something in a baby’s mouth they will automatically suck it. This disappears when the baby is around two months old. This is when the baby will suck voluntarily. This reflex ensures the baby can feed properly for the first couple months of their lives. [1] Startle Reflex: When a baby hears a loud sound or see’s a bright light they will react by moving their arms out and clenching their fists.
Unit 201 – Child and young person development Outcome 1) Know the main stages of child and young person development 1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years. a) Physical development Between birth and 6 months an infant begins to develop a rhythm of feeding, sleeping and eliminating which may correspond with the primary care givers sleeping patterns. The infant will also gain control of eye movement and develop basic motor control so they will be able to balance their head, roll over, pull self to sitting and may briefly sit alone. This will help normal muscle development as the infant grows rapidly, doubling their birth weight. By 12 months the infant will be able to crawl and may be beginning to walk, they will use large objects, furniture and people to pull themselves to standing.
TDA 2.1 Child And Young Person Development 1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include: - Physical Development - Communication and Intellectual Development - Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development 1.2 Describe with examples how different aspects of development can affect one another. Birth – 3 Months Physical Development: * From birth a baby’s reflexes allow them to turn their head to suckle when you touch their cheek. * The baby can flex their fingers, arms and legs. * By 1 month a baby should be able to follow a light with their eyes, if only for a short period of time. * From 4-8 weeks babies should be able to slightly lift their head when laid on their front.
Lifespan Development Virtual Person Paper 1 Prenatal/Perinatal and Infancy January 28, 2013 Arabella Dawn Barker was conceived on Valentine’s Day 2012. The 260 days she spent developing in her mother’s womb was just the beginning of her 74 year journey in life. She was the oldest child of three siblings. During the Germinal Stage of development, the blastocyst (fertilized egg) which will soon be Arabella, implanted itself on the wall of her mother’s uterus, which is rich in nutrients. During this period the cell division gets off to a quick start and over the next few days they begin to double.
Nursing interventions for the normal newborn include airway maintenance, maintaining a sufficient oxygen supply and maintaining normal body temperature. Some of the immediate interventions include eye prophylaxis, vitamin K prophylaxis, umbilical cord care and encouraging parent and infant bonding. A gestational age measurement is completed within the first hour of birth in a stable newborn. The New Ballard Score is used to establish gestational ages of infants as young as 20 weeks to 42 weeks. Using
From eight to twelve weeks a baby will lift their head and chest when lying on their tummy and there is almost no head lag when in a sitting position. Their legs can kick vigorously, both separately and together. They wave their arms, bring their hands together and play with their fingers. They are able to hold a rattle for a short time before dropping it. At this age babies become distressed by sudden loud noises and show
Following an intensive screening and selection process the donor endures a few weeks of invasive medical procedures. First the donor and the woman who will carry the child must coordinate their menstrual cycles. Typically the donor and the recipient take birth-control pills, followed by shots of a synthetic hormone such as Lupron; the combination suppresses ovulation and puts their cycles in sync. After altering her cycle the donor must enhance her egg supply with fertility drugs in the same way an infertile woman does when trying to conceive. Shots of a fertility hormone are administered for seven to eleven days, to stimulate the production of an abnormally large number of egg-containing follicles.
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children a young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include: Physical development Communication and intellectual development Social, emotional and behavioural development The sequence of children’s development at 0 to 3 months. Physical development at 0 to 3 months. At 0 to 3 months, It is the norm for a baby to sleep most of the time and grow fast, whilst awake he/she can open and shut their hands and will start to kick their legs with movements gradually becoming smoother. They can wave their arms around and will eventually begin to hold objects when placed in their hand e.g. an appropriate size/shaped rattle.
