 4 weeks of pregnancy: basic information of the baby

Fetal changes

The fertilized egg divides continuously and becomes a spherical cell mass, that is, the blastocyst. It swims into the uterine cavity, contacts with the endometrium and is buried in the endometrium. This process is called "implantation". Implantation generally starts from 6-7 days after fertilization and is completed within 11-12 days. After implantation, the embryo slowly grows up. At this time, the development of the brain has begun. The fertilized egg continues to split, with one part forming the brain and the other forming neural tissue.
