Incredible Photos: A Child is Born
developing in the womb. These incredible photographs were taken with conventional cameras
with macro lenses, an endoscope and scanning electron microscope. Nilsson used a
magnification of hundreds of thousands and worked right in the womb. His first photo of the
human foetus was taken in 1965.
The egg cell
The clump has developed into a blastocyst, containing many more cells,
and has entered the womb
The human embryo is attached to a wall of the uterus
The one-month-old embryo has no skeleton yet.
There is only a heart that starts beating on the 18th day
You can now distinguish the face with holes for eyes, nostrils and mouth
Embryonic cells form the placenta.
This organ connects the embryo to the uterine wall allowing nutrient uptake,
waste elimination and gas exchange via the woman's blood supply
The rapidly-growing embryo is well protected in the foetal sac
The eyelids are semi-shut. They will close completely in a few days
The foetus uses its hands to explore its own body and its surroundings
A network of blood vessels is visible through the thin skin
The foetus can now perceive sounds from the outside world
Woolly hair, known as lanugo, covers the entire head
There are still 8-10 weeks ahead, so the little human is getting ready to leave the uterus.
It turns upside down because it will be easier to get out this way
