Transcript: Narrator: Within a week of conception, your fertilised egg, known as a blastocyst, will make its way to your uterus. The egg is about the size of a pen tip.
In days, the cells in the egg arrange themselves into groupings. The inner cell mass will become your baby. The outer cells will become the amniotic sac and placenta. The blastocyst then sheds its protective casing in a process called hatching, and burrows into the lush uterine wall. Around week 5, your developing baby is the size of a sesame seed. The cells that once formed the blastocyst's inner cell mass begin organising and arranging, giving shape to the young embryo and forming primitive organs.
Your baby's brain and spinal cord are visible through his translucent skin. Right around this time, your baby's circulatory system also forms and his heart begins to beat. Your baby looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human.
He's drawing nutrients and oxygen through the newly formed placenta and umbilical cord. By week 9, the embryonic tail is gone. Your baby's looking more human every day, with protruding limbs and fingers, a defined nose, mouth, and eyes, and tiny earlobes.

Most of images we see of pregnancy involve a woman's growing belly , or a fuzzy ultrasound shot , so it can be tough to imagine what's actually going on inside the womb—and what the little guy or gal in there is experiencing. This amazing video provides an up-close and personal view of a growing baby's journey from the point of conception to birth, speeding up the process from nine months to just four minutes. As the video begins, we first witness sperm rushing to an egg inside a woman's body.
Soon, the cells begin to grow into a small person with a spine and what appears to be a small beating heart. The fetus soon grows arms, legs, and a face. Its brain cells begin to form as the fetus kicks and moves its arms.
The tiny human's ears and eyes develop, and it plays with its umbilical cord while observing its surrounding womb.
