Did You Know ?

In the fourth week, the embryonic heart starts beating. The neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, forms. At this point, a woman has likely only been aware of her pregnancy for one week.

Did You Know ?

In the seventh week after conception, networks of neurons produce brain waves that have been recorded as early as 6 ½ weeks after conception. The embryo spontaneously moves his arms, hands, and legs, and may even hiccup. The embryo’s heart now has all four chambers.

Did You Know ?

By the seventeenth and eighteenth week after gestation, the fetus shows a clear response to pain in multiple studies, and at least one brain pathway is mature enough to create a perception of pain. The fetus also practices breathing, crying, and breastfeeding in the womb. The fetal heart has beat over 20 million times and circulates about 55 quarts of blood per day.

Did You Know ?

In the eighth month of pregnancy the fetal brain is ready to learn! At 32 weeks after conception, neurons are creating 40,000 new connections, called synapses, every second! With repeated exposures, the fetus can learn flavors, nursery rhymes, songs, and even words that she will recognize after birth!

Marie Willke Meyers, M.D.

Associate Scholar

Marie Willke Meyers, M.D. earned her undergraduate degree from St. Mary’s College and her medical degree from the University of Cincinnati. She then did a residency in internal medicine at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, becoming the first fourth-generation doctor to graduate from the U.C. College of Medicine and to train at Good Samaritan Hospital.

After working several years as a hospitalist, she took a leave from medicine to raise four children along with her husband, Robert, later returning to work as an internist. She recently retired from practicing cosmetic dermatology.

Her background includes work on President Nixon’s Inaugural Committee and at the White House Press Office during the Nixon and Ford administrations. She was a counsellor at Pregnancy Center West, and served on the boards of Life Issues Institute and currently Cincinnati Right to Life.

As the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Willke, she grew up helping with all things pro-life, from stuffing envelopes to handing out campaign literature to babysitting so her parents could travel and lecture. As a college student she encouraged them to write their first book, Handbook on Abortion, and typed the manuscript. More recently she helped to co-author and publish their last book, Abortion and the Pro-Life Movement.
