    The child develops in the womb of the mother for 9 months. All this period is divided into 2 stages: embryonic, which lasts until the 2nd month of

    So, the sperm and the egg met in the fallopian tube, and the fertilized egg began its journey to the uterus. On the 4th day after fertilization, the egg reaches the uterus, here it continues to divide. The best place to attach-implantation of the egg - on the back of the uterus, in her bottom. To this place, she moves to implant in the mucous membrane of the uterus at the end of the first week after fertilization. By this time it is a fetal egg with membranes and embryo inside( see picture)

    Embryos of the embryonic membranes are inserted into the wall of the uterus, releasing special substances,

    which dissolve its mucous membrane. The fetal blood vessels connect to the blood vessels of the mother's uterus, the embryonic circulation is formed. Until then, the embryo was fed only by substances that were contained in the egg.
