When does life really begin? Do you know about the miracle of life? At the moment of conception, a unique human being's DNA is created.
[0:30]Human DNA that has never existed before and will never be repeated again. At the moment of conception, all the baby's physical traits, sex, hair color, eye color have already been determined. An unborn baby's heart starts to beat only 22 days after conception, before most women even know they are pregnant. At week 3, you can see her eyes and ears. Week 6, she has fingers and toes. Week 6 - 11, she will grow five times in size. By the 11th week, she can smile and frown, wiggle her fingers and toes, and even suck her thumb.
[1:34]As soon as thumb sucking begins, the baby tends to show a clear preference for either the right or left thumb. A baby in the womb moves 50 times or more each hour. At 13 weeks, her ears start picking up vibrations. She is comforted by the constant sound of her mother's heartbeat. Ultrasounds show that babies have REM sleep, which likely means that babies dream even before they are born. After six months of pregnancy, everything has developed and is functioning as it will in the fully grown baby.
[2:41]At week 38 - 42, she is born. The Bible teaches us that God is the creator of life. "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart."
[3:01]God has a plan for every life. "All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." Children are a blessing from God. "Behold, children are a gift of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward." Choose life.
