Characteristics of the Unborn Child



Prenatal Age: 2 – 4 Weeks Post-LMP

Up to 2 weeks following Conception

The cells of the embryo repeatedly divide as the embryo moves through the fallopian tube into the woman’s uterus or womb.

Implantation, the process whereby the embryo embeds itself into the wall of the womb, begins by the end of the third week and is completed during the fourth week of pregnancy.

At 4 weeks, the embryo is less than 1/100th of an inch long.
