1. Cleavage - period of rapid division of zygote. 72 hours after this, morula emerges (cluster of 16+ cells.) Morula becomes blastocyst.
2. Implantation - Blastocyst attached to uterine wall.
3. Placentation - refers to the formation of a placenta. |

Term
|
Definition
| Blastocyst is converted into a gastrula, where 3 germ layers form embryotic membranes. |

1. Dilation - from first labour contraction to full dialation of cervix (10cm)
2. Expulsion - From full dialation to baby being ejected into the cold, cruel world.
3. Placentation - delivery of placenta. Placenta + fetal membranes = afterbirth. |
