pregnancy. Note that &#8216;very early pregnancy&#8217; is not a medical term, but refers to the period before implantation of the fertilised egg in the endometrium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first week is not exactly pregnancy and is the most fertile period. Around the second week, the egg and sperm combine at the end of the fallopian tubes, known as the fallopian ganglion, to form a fertilised egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fertilised egg, which will later become a baby, passes through the fallopian tubes, dividing cells at a rate of once a day, and takes about a week to reach the uterus. Pregnancy is established when the fertilised egg implants in the endometrium at around the third week. The size of the baby at this time is still only about 1 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it varies from person to person, bleeding may continue for about 1-2 days when the fertilised egg implants in the endometrium. This is called &#8216;implantation bleeding&#8217; and is difficult to distinguish from menstruation, so those wishing to conceive should take care to check the date of the last menstrual period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <a href=\"\/nipt\/pregnancy-week\/\" class=\"blog-card\">\n      <div class=\"blog-card-content\">\n          <div class=\"blog-card-title\">\u598a\u5a20\u9031\u6570\u306e\u6570\u3048\u65b9\u3068\u51fa\u7523\u4e88\u5b9a\u65e5\u306e\u6b63\u3057\u3044\u8a08\u7b97\u65b9\u6cd5\u3010\u533b\u5e2b\u76e3\u4fee\u3011 <\/div>\n          <div class=\"blog-card-excerpt\">\u9593\u9055\u3044\u3084\u3059\u3044\u598a\u5a20\u9031\u6570\u3068\u51fa\u7523\u4e88\u5b9a\u65e5\u3092\u6b63\u3057\u304f\u7406\u89e3\u3057\u3001\u5b89\u5168\u3067\u4e0d\u5b89\u306e\u306a\u3044\u598a\u5a20\u30fb\u51fa\u7523\u3092\u884c\u3046\u305f\u3081\u306e\u30b5\u30dd\u30fc\u30c8\u60c5\u5831\uff08\u51fa\u7523\u4e88\u5b9a\u65e5\u304c\u4e00\u76ee\u3067\u5206\u304b\u308b\u30ab\u30ec\u30f3\u30c0\u30fc\u4ed8\uff09\u598a...<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n\n\n\n<!-- Reservation button installed under FV-->\n<section id=\"cv-button\">\n <p class=\"cv-text\">World Class Next Generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a><\/p>\n <div class=\"cv-btn new-btn\">\n   <p>New users here<\/p>\n   <div class=\"btn-effect\">\n     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/app\/en\/registration\/\"><img src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/en-ctap-new202412.png\" alt=\"\u65b0\u898f\u767b\u9332\" fetchpriority=\"high\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"sync\"><\/a>\n   <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"cv-btn my-btn\">\n   <p>Registered users here<\/p>\n   <div class=\"btn-effect\">\n     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/app\/en\/login\/\"><img src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/en-ctaor-new202412.png\" alt=\"\u30de\u30a4\u30fc\u30da\u30fc\u30b8\" fetchpriority=\"high\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"sync\"><\/a>\n   <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"cv-text\">24hours reservation available<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<style>\n#cv-button{\n background-color: #fef4f8;\n \/*background-color: #fff8cf;*\/\n background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg,transparent,transparent 5px,rgba(255,255,255,.5) 5px,rgba(255,255,255,.5) 10px);\n padding: 30px;\n}\n.btn-effect{\n max-width: 450px;\n width: 100%;\n margin: 0 auto;\n position:relative;\n overflow:hidden;\n}\n.btn-effect::after {\ncontent:\"\";\nheight:100%;\nwidth:30px;\nposition:absolute;\ntop:-180px;\nleft:0;\nbackground-color: #fff;\nopacity:0;\n-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);\n-webkit-animation: reflection 2s ease-in-out infinite;\n}\n@keyframes reflection {\n0% { -webkit-transform: scale(0) rotate(45deg); opacity: 0; }\n60% { -webkit-transform: scale(0) rotate(45deg); opacity: 0.8; }\n100% { -webkit-transform: scale(50) rotate(45deg); opacity: 0; }\n}\n.cv-btn p{\n text-align: center !important;\n font-weight: 600 !important;\n font-size: 20px !important;\n margin-bottom: 0 !important;\n color: #333 !important;\n}\n.cv-btn img{\n width: 100%;\n height: auto;\n}\n.cv-text{\n text-align: center;\n font-weight: 700;\n font-size: 1.8rem !important;\n margin-bottom: 0 !important;\n color: #d8436d;\n}\n\n@media screen and (max-width:500px){\n .cv-text{\n   font-size: 20px !important;\n }\n .cv-btn p{\n   font-size: 18px !important;\n }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growth_Progress_of_Fetus_in_Early_Pregnancy_Up_to_13_Weeks_6_Days\"><\/span>Growth Progress of Fetus in Early Pregnancy (Up to 13 Weeks 6 Days)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The baby is still small in early pregnancy.

The frontal lobe of the brain also develops and becomes more active in the belly. Around 18 weeks&#8217; gestation, hair also begins to grow on the head. It is also during this gestational week that a substance called fetal fat, which protects the skin of the foetus, begins to be produced. The amount of fetal fat varies from foetus to foetus, but by the time of delivery it will cover the baby&#8217;s entire body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of the foetal fat is different. It prevents the baby&#8217;s skin in the amniotic fluid from blistering, keeps the baby warm immediately after birth, prevents skin infections and acts as a lubricant during childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 19 weeks&#8217; gestation, the baby&#8217;s eyelashes and eyebrows are produced and the kidneys and bladder are almost complete.

It also develops hearing and may hear its mother&#8217;s voice and sounds from outside the abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 21 weeks&#8217; gestation, the external genitalia are complete and, depending on the baby&#8217;s orientation, the sex can be determined by ultrasound examination. At 22 weeks&#8217; gestation, the facial features are even more defined and the individual organs are built up and begin to function more actively.
