The Germinal Stage
Captions available
The idea
The germinal stage runs from conception through implantation, roughly the first two weeks of prenatal development.
In practice
The fertilized cell divides repeatedly while traveling to the uterine wall and implanting there.
Where people slip
A substantial proportion of germinal-stage pregnancies end before the pregnancy is detected.
