Preferred term

implications of gestational development  

Definition

  • Conception is the result of intricate biology, but the intricacies of biology do not end at that point as the growth and development of the fetus continues within the woman's body for nine months. As the fetus is not a parasite, these required nutrients come directly from the mother's nutrient intake; therefore, proper gestational development of the fetus is directly dependent upon the intrauterine environment that is provided by the mother, and risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other health problems during adulthood have roots linked to maternal nutrition during pregnancy.
