Human pregnancy typically lasts around 40 weeks and is divided into three trimesters of three months. What intrigues you the most about this developmental process?

So cool to watch this while being pregnant! I think the process is so incredible. It's weird to think that right now, at this moment, I'm creating another human, another life. I feel very honored that I can experience this. I can't wait to see what my second boy will look like! I'm about 30 weeks along, and so excited! :)

Pregnancy really is a fascinating thing 😮 I’m 22 weeks pregnant with a boy and while it definitely hasn’t been easy, when I get to meet my precious baby boy I’ll know it was all worth it 💙

Brilliant. I wish Mothers and their bodies were respected more. I wish women's bodies were respected more in society instead of always being scrutinized for not being perfect like photoshopped images. After all its the womens body that should define beauty exactly the way it is, instead of being defined by beauty. And our Mothers especially deserve to feel beautiful and loved. Bless our mothers and I pray God helps us be the best to them..Ameen!🤰💖👩‍👧‍👦😘

Very refreshing to watch a good video where terminology has not been scrutinized to nonsensical extremes. It is good to hear words like women and mother. I am also convinced that it is symbolically very powerful.

It's magical to think that I have 2 hearts inside my body right now...

I added this to my 7-year-old's homeschooling playlist for science/health lessons. That's the highest compliment I can bestow :)

Just had my fourth a final kid, finally a boy ! Him and his three big sisters are everything to me and I’m so proud of each of them, making me a better person, this is what life is about!

Such an incredible process by an incredible being.
Respect.

As a soon to be father, ( 12 weeks pregnant wife) this is so beautiful. 😍 I can’t wait!!

I don't know about you, but this is the very essence in being a woman. Not just holding a life inside your womb for 40weeks but having an organ that can create. While some may argue that some women can't conceive but that doesn't really make them less of a woman. What important is, having that special organ inside you from birth is a gift.

Moral of the Stories: RESPECT to Your Mother.

It’s ironic the people who have the lowest means of supporting a child are the ones having the most. Sad.
