• Pregnancy.
• Birth and Infancy 0 – 3 years.
• Childhood 4-9 years.

The next week at 32 days the Arm and hands will have started developing. 4 days later at 36 days the beginning of the spine developing in the womb. In the first 3 months, are the most rapid development to occur for the feotus? This is most crucial part of the developmenting stage during the pregnancy. At 45 days the Embryo’s heart starts to beat faster than the mothers. After 45 days at 51 days the development of the retina, nose and fingers occur.
At 18 weeks, the baby can intellectually start to hear sounds from outside of the womb. These sounds, can be heard, by holding a set of headphones outside of the pregnancy bump.
The feotus continual movement is necessary for their muscular and skeletal growth, during the gestation period of the pregnancy. At about 12 weeks they will be able to identify whether the baby is a boy or a girl, during the scan.

Being taught about the caring of the baby after birth, and understanding the different type of sounds that they can pick up.
Birth to Infancy 0- 3 years of age.
In this stage, it’s all about the development stages that the baby will be starting to go through from birth to the ages of three years old.
