Five signs of life in the womb


1.    Heartbeat.  Modern technology can detect a baby’s heartbeat 18 to 25 days after conception.

2.    Brain Waves.  Six weeks after conception, signals from the fetal brain can be detected.

3.    Independent Movement.  At about the 6th week, the baby in the womb can kick, jump and stretch.

4.    Senses.  A baby in the womb is capable of responding to touch & sound by about the 8th-10th week.

5.    Breathing.  By week 14, a baby’s lungs are functioning and he or she will practice breathing.

When does human life begin?

d
Some people say human life begins at conception. 

Others insist that the human fetus becomes a person at birth, or even some time after birth. 

Still others point to a time in the middle, the 20th week of gestation, because at that point a baby can live outside the womb.

God says, "..You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in my mother's womb. You saw me before I was born..." Psalm 139

Who is right?
 The question is important when thinking about abortion.

I wish I would have been told...

Day 1 - The second your egg is fertilized by a sperm, it contains the plans for every detail of the baby's
               development, including sex, hair color, eye color, and height.

Week 3 - The brain, spinal cord, and nervous system develop.
Week 4 - The heart begins to beat!
Week 5 - Arms with hands & fingers, legs with feet & toes, and eyes can be seen.
Week 6-8 Brain waves can be detected.
Week 9 - The body is nearly complete. Internal organs are present and functioning. Changes after the
                  ninth week are primarily changes in size, rather than appearance.
Week 13 - The baby moves vigorously and can make a tight fist. The mother will not be able to feel
                   movement until the fourth or fifth month. The fetus can experience pain.
Month 4 - The baby is eight to ten inches long and weights a half pound.
Month 5 - The baby may jump in response to a loud noise.
Month 6 - If the baby was born during this month and given special care, he or she could survive.

Choose Life


God says to us in the bible,

"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, that you and your descendants might live! Chose to love the Lord your God and to obey him and commit yourself to him, for he is your life." Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Make the right choice, choose life.
