How the Human Body Creates New Life

Life begins when a sperm successfully fuses with an egg inside the fallopian tube.
The fertilized egg divides rapidly, forming a cluster of cells called a blastocyst.
That blastocyst implants in the uterus — where pregnancy officially begins.
The embryo develops organs, limbs, and a heartbeat within just weeks.
DNA from both parents guides every step of development.
The placenta forms to provide nutrients and oxygen to the growing baby.
Tiny cellular signals choreograph growth, timing, and organ formation.
Hormones regulate the entire process, ensuring balance and progression.
The developing baby floats in amniotic fluid for protection.
From conception to birth, the process is a biological masterpiece lasting about 40 weeks.
