  • How are they recording this? It looks like there is no fluid around that embryo...

  • Amniotic fluid is generally clear and not visible, though sometimes particles within the fluid can be seen. In this video sequence, you cannot see fluid but you can see the amnion (adjacent to the right leg) which contains the fluid.

  • When I viewed the 9 weeks one, when the foot is touched, the fetus will retract it's leg and move it away. Doesn't this mean that the baby can feel? (Tickles as well as pain?) That brings me to a serious question: Why is abortion still legal?!!!!

  • I'm at 7 weeks - this has got to be the coolest vid i've watched so far!!

  • @ClonewarsFan08 I'm 7 weeks and 2 days. I'm having to abort my baby due to complications and a high chance that I could die during or even before labour if I follow through with the pregnancy. It's not murder. Sometimes it needs to be done. But thanks for making all the mums who have had to abort their sweeties feel even more awful about their decision. Nice one.

  • Was this video shot before an abortion or has the baby been born?

    Thank you.

  • very precious....abortion is murder plain and simple

  • @hcmontessori get a grip

  • @Purvis471 I THINK THAT YOU`RE JUST THICK! HAHAHHA

  • i juste realise that i am 7 weeks gone after 3 years and half trying to get pregnant,i am the happiess mother in the world,coz i never thought that my dreams will come truth.i pray to GOD to help evry single woman on hearth who is trying to conceive to get pregnant

  • @justsomething4 thats something you and her have to compromise on, she cant make the sole decision and neither can you, its both of your responsibilites. I too am 19 yrs old and already 36 wks, my bf and I talked it through and this is what we wanted in the end..hopefully whatever happens turns out for the better

  • How do they get this footage ?:D i've always wondered hehe
