What Causes Poor Bone Development in a Fetus?
The development of the human fetus is a complex process. During the course of nine months, the fertilized egg divides and divides again until all of the major organs are fully developed. The development of the fetus is aided or hindered to a great extent by the lifestyle and health choices made by the mother during pregnancy. While some hereditary and congenital conditions may affect bone development in fetuses, most experts agree the most important factor is proper nutrition.
