This website has been designed as a resource for educators, parents, and anyone else who might wish to know more about human prenatal development. The prenatal period has been divided according the developmental stages rather than trimesters because I feel that this is allows for a clearer, more logical look at how development progresses. Any opinions expressed here are mine alone, and while I feel they are valid and well supported, I would like to encourage readers to do further research of their own. I wish primarily to promote knowledge and education on the fascinating subject of how we all came into the world.
