The prenatal fact sheet will discuss the different milestones; physically, cognitively, and language, that takes

place during the development of the fetus to birth. Also it discusses atypical development and the signs to look for along with strategies that families can use to help with the learning and development process.

Typical physical developmental milestones

3-4 weeks a primitive brain and spinal cord appear. Heart, muscles, ribs, backbone and digestive tract begin to develop (Berk, L. E. (2013). The embryo has become a fetus. His vital organs such as kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver are starting to function.

Typical language developmental milestones

Functional maturation of hearing at about 5 months gestational age: fetus hears, especially maternal sounds including speech (KENT, R. (2005). Responding to other sounds outside of maternal sounds

Typical cognitive developmental milestones

In the eleventh week the brain and muscles are better connected At 23 weeks his sense of hearing continues to improve.

A sign that may signal atypical development

A fetus not responding or no reaction to noise (Different stimulants) is a sign of concern in development

A social factor that influences the prenatal stage of development.

Teratogen is the terms used to refer to any environmental agent that causes damage during the prenatal period.

The chart shows displays when teratogens are most effective at disrupting prenatal development.

A strategy that families can use to influence their childs learning and development.
Having the mother in non-stressful environment, regular check-ups with the doctor, and proper nutrition when it comes to food intake.

A cultural factor that influences this stage of development Some cultures dont believe in using any type of pain medication intervention due to not wanting to effect the fetus development or during the delivery.
