Fetal Weight Standard
Week 4 marks a monumental developmental threshold: blastocyst implantation is firmly established in the uterine wall. The blastocyst divides into the embryonic disc and the amniotic sac. The yolk sac provides vital initial nourishment until the placenta fully forms.
Cells differentiate into three fundamental germ layers: the ectoderm (which will form the nervous system, brain, and skin), the mesoderm (heart, bones, muscles, and kidneys), and the endoderm (lungs, liver, and digestive tract).
