Life is a miracle in itself, and its development is an unending wave of awe. We all know it starts with the fusion of two tiny cells, but how it transforms into a unique living individual is magical and nearly inconceivable.

With the help of today's advanced technology, we can appreciate how life begins in the womb. Scroll through the stages of an embryo's development, starting at the moment of conception, aided by the detailed photographs by Lennart Nilsson, from his book A Child Is Born.
Here's where it all begins: the sperm enters the Fallopian tube.
