Introduction
From a single cell | to a newborn infant | in 9 months. |
---|---|---|
This page is organised to show week by week human development features and approximate timing of key events with more detailed information about specific events in different systems. For a less detailed timeline see week by week.
- "Weeks" refer to embryonic development from fertilization.
- Clinical weeks (shown in brackets) or Gestational Age GA) is from the first day of the Last Menstrual Period (LMP).
- "Stages" refer to the Carnegie stages of development.
- "Timing" refers to days from fertilization or post conception age (PC), not the clinical or gestational age (GA) calculated from LMP (add 2 weeks).
- Dates and staging are also "ideal", and there is significant biological variability in the general timing of events.
- Week 1 to Week 8 (GA 10)are considered the embryonic period of development.
- Week 9 to week 37 (GA 11-39) or birth are considered the fetal period of development.
- First month (4 weeks) after birth is the neonatal period of development.
Each developmental feature is linked to online content with more detailed information and resources such as images and movies. The superscript numbers are the original source references. There are similar "timelines" for other species shown below.
