The Journey of Development

This video showcases the incredible transformation that takes place over 40 weeks of pregnancy, as captured by ultrasound technology.

What You'll See

From the earliest stages of development to the final weeks before birth, ultrasound allows us to witness:

First Trimester (Weeks 1-12)

  • Initial heartbeat detection
  • Formation of limbs
  • Development of facial features
  • Rapid growth and change

Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26)

  • Detailed anatomy visible
  • Active movement and stretching
  • Gender determination possible
  • Baby practising breathing and swallowing

Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40)

  • Filling out with baby fat
  • Facial expressions visible
  • Preparation for birth
  • Final positioning

The Magic of Ultrasound

Ultrasound technology allows parents to connect with their babies before birth, watching them grow, move, and develop personality even in the womb.
