The mean pregnancy length has been estimated to be 283.4 days of gestational age as timed from the first day of the last menstrual period and 280.6 days when retrospectively estimated by obstetric ultrasound measurement of the fetal biparietal diameter (BPD) in the second trimester. [12]
Gestational age: 12 weeks and 0 days until 15 weeks and 6 days old. Embryonic age: 10 weeks and 0 days until 13 weeks and 6 days old. The fetus reaches a length of about 15 cm (6 in). A fine hair called lanugo develops on the head. Fetal skin is almost transparent. More muscle tissue and bones have developed, and the bones become harder.
Quickening indicates the start of fetal movements, usually felt 14–26 weeks after conception, or between the fourth and sixth month. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] A woman pregnant for the first time (i.e., a primigravida woman) typically feels fetal movements at about 20–21 weeks, whereas a woman who has given birth at least once will typically feel ...
Ages are given as age from fertilization rather than as gestational age. Some sources contend that there is no voluntary movement until after birth. [3] Other sources say that purposive movement begins months earlier. [4] 3D ultrasound has been used to create motion pictures of fetal movement, which are called "4D ultrasound". [5]

Yawning often feels involuntary—it’s triggered by the same part of the brain as sneezing, Sullivan says. But the difference is, a yawn can be controlled from “the top down” if you think ...
Snakes yawn, both to realign their jaws after a meal and for respiratory reasons, as their trachea can be seen to expand when they do this. Dogs, and occasionally cats, often yawn after seeing people yawn [11] [65] and when they feel uncertain. [66] Dogs demonstrate contagious yawning when exposed to human yawning.
328 participants were asked to watch a three-minute video of people yawning and to keep track of how many times they yawned. Of the 328 participants, 222 contagiously yawned.
