Week Two!

This week in Child Development, we went more into depth regarding the fetal stage and the last six months of the pregnancy. The fetus can do things such as: cough, sneeze, hiccup, kick, and more. During the last six months, the baby is obviously growing, along with its facial features becoming more dominant. Another lesson we went over was the different types of problems associated with pregnancy. Such as, diseases and infections, general risk factors, personal care, environmental hazards and more. There were so many new things I learned during this lesson. We also did an experiment in class! We took two eggs soaked in vinegar and placed one in green colored water and the other in rubbing alcohol. The purpose of this experiment was to show how what the mother consumes, goes straight to the baby. The water soaked egg turned green and popped after cutting it. The alcohol soaked egg was basically cooked during the test. This was a very good visual representation.
