Instagram influencer Ellen Fisher recently posted announcing her latest pregnancy. The vegan, unschooling mom in Hawaii has more than 500,000 followers. She received many warm messages of congratulations about her pregnancy announcement — that is, until she shared basic facts about the prenatal development of her baby<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A photo posted earlier this week shows Fisher posing with her baby bump. In the caption, Fisher wrote, \u201cAt 15 weeks pregnant the baby inside of me has unique, one-of-a kind fingerprints that are visible already. He\/she has fingers and tiny fingernails and toes and eyes and a face and developing organs\u2026She can sense your mood and temperament. And just 21 days following conception – the baby\u2019s organs start to develop, and the heart begins to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

After listing these scientific facts, Fisher added, \u201cThese developmental milestones often take place before the mother even knows she is pregnant. How amazing is the miracle of growing babies! Babies in the womb have intrinsic value. The difference between us and them is time.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 15 weeks pregnant the baby inside of me has unique, one-of-a kind fingerprints that are visible already. He\/she has fingers and tiny fingernails and toes and eyes and a face and developing organs. The baby\u2019s heart is pumping roughly 25 quarts of blood every day and will continue as he develops in the womb. She has reflexes and can open and close her fingers and make movement with her mouth. Between 15 to 20 weeks baby will double in size. As his body grows, his nervous system is rapidly maturing. His nerves are connecting his brain to the rest of his body, traveling to the brain and then down the spine and beginning to extend into his torso and limbs. Sensory development is picking up speed and her brain is designating special areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch. As your baby grows he creates a strong connection to you and is learning who you are. She can sense your mood and temperament. And just 21 days following conception – the baby\u2019s organs start to develop, and the heart begins to beat. These developmental milestones often take place before the mother even knows she is pregnant. How amazing is the miracle of growing babies! Babies in the womb have intrinsic value. The difference between us and them is time.<\/a><\/p>\n
