My friend is 9 weeks pregnant! Her embryo is 7 weeks gestation. We call them Frijole and in this video they roll over, suck their thumb and wiggle their toes. You can also see their heart thumping!
Thanks to Serpentus for the opportunity :3-<

Why do pro lifers show you a picture of an embryo and be like "THIS is what you're killing". Bitch ew I don't think we were meant to see that shit. What the fuck is that thing. Are you fucking kidding me it's just in there like that? Do you see how fucking terrifying that is. If I ever get pregnant this shit will haunt my nightmares just knowing that's what it looks like. Looking unblinkingly unseeingly at my insides. 🤮 Get out!!!!!!!
If we observe how in embryonic development an organism is gradually created out of the liquid, our attention is drawn to movements which play their part in fashioning it according to invisible plans, though they are themselves not all visible in the finished form. They are like the hands of the potter in their abundance of possibilities, moulding a vessel from without and within and then withdrawing again into the invisible world. They are movements which originate in the will and spirit of a living being. As movements they are actually the creative and formative forces through which the idea underlying the forms can be impressed on the elements. Once this has been accomplished, the creative movement releases the form and appears in it as a function, of which the embodied being may now make use.

Scientists have found a 500-million-year-old worm embryo in China. While fossils of soft body parts are incredibly rare, this specimen has preserved muscle tissue and brain matter. Image shows tiny worm embryo rolled up.
