I think that life begins at conception. By the time a lady finds out she is pregnant she is likely to be four weeks pregnant. During the first three months of pregnancy a baby grows and develops quite considerably. I suggest having an ultrasound and getting a few black and white photos of the baby. Birth is a special moment when the baby can be dressed in pink or blue.
When do you think life begins?
What do you think of pregnancy?
How was the moment when your baby was born?

I also believe in that life beings upon conception... i first learned about this when i was in grade school... and the knowledge and belief never left my mind... so this is why i clearly oppose abortion... aside for that... i was able to find out i was pregnant when my baby was only like three weeks inside me... i heard her heartbeat so clear that nobody can ever justify that there is no life there...

Pregnancy is the most memorable part in woman's life. We considered ourselves as a true woman if we experienced pregnancy and having a baby inside our womb. You are right life begins at conception the very first day of conception. And it divides into three trimesters until the baby is born. What a great experienced I ever had when I saw my first born child. She is cute with a brownish skin and black hair. What a beautiful baby. Until now she is a grown up lady still beautiful!

I am not sure about my feelings as to when life begins. I have read quite a few articles and of course the basic science part is there about the zygote but I am not clear as to when that spark is lit and the throbbing of life begins. Considering the fact that even the miniscule cell has life and throbs with it, your concept of life beginning at conception seems correct. But I do not know how such materials, which by themselves are non-living, start functioning as one unit and pulsate with life. This is not just with babies but with the tiniest of cells possible. What exactly lights that spark and when and how, is still a mystery.
I don’t exactly remember the moment by baby was born cause I was under heavy sedation…I remember being slapped quite hard and I came to me senses for a few minutes just to hear that I was blessed with a boy. I saw him a full three hours after his birth.

I totally agree with you that life begins at conception, and any means of actively destroying that life is murder.
As a mother of five now adult sons, I do not see how any mother could think a baby only becomes a human being at birth. Bondage with the child starts from the beginning and develops as the child grows. The actual birth is one of the most precious moments in life.

Life begins right at the moment sperm and egg ( do I get the right term? ) meet. So it's not only when the body has developed. That's why I really disagree about abortion, even if it's just a few weeks age' as this is just the same with killing any born people.
I am not married yet nor having a baby. But I really appreciate of the life that started in a woman's womb. It's a miracle, part of creation, thus it's a partner of God in creating human being and bring to this world. It must be awesome when seeing your baby out of your womb at the first time. Congrats to all mother in the world.

Yeah, that is true..it is a union between human and everything that connects with them produce the chances of conceiving on the part of the woman. It is byproduct of love and not just by lust.

You are absolutely right. However, at this point life is not controlled by the person him/herself until he/she is able to make simple decisions. It is therefore important for the mother-to-be to be careful in handling the life of the baby inside her. I don't know when I will get pregnant but I hope to be a good mother someday soon.

Hello maximax. It is true that life is starting at conception. When my wife was pregnant with my second baby, she had a color ultrasonic with the baby's photos clearly seen except the gender. The baby was so cute. He was sucking his fingers in its mother's belly. We will keep it for him to look at when he grows up. His birth is a great happiness to us all. When a baby is born, it means a lot to me. Take care, friend.

I believe that it begins at conception and yes when a lady finds out she is pregnant it has been about four weeks the most. Pregnancy for me is the very essence of being a woman, having another human being inside your belly. Hearing a heartbeat inside and feeling that little fellow there kick or move as it grows into a fully developed baby is the greatest feeling a woman can ever experience and nothing can beat that.

Hey,
Yes most females when they find out that they are pregnant, they have already been pregnant for quite a few weeks already. Yes I think life begins as soon as the baby starts to actually grow and you can see it get bigger and bigger. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I know life begins at conception. We used to think that life bins at birth but we've learned at church, or maybe I should say we've learned that the bible says that it begins at conception. I think pregnancy is wonderful as long as the woman becomes pregnant after she is married. Maybe I'm old fashioned but that's the way I feel about it. It's the way I was raised. It seems like more young people have children out of wedlock these days. I know that people are human and we all make mistakes. That's the way I try to look at it. I don't judge, in other words, and I forgive them. I don't blame it on the child, either.
I don't have any children, myself. Kathy.

I see I made a mistake when I said we used to think that life bins at birth. That word should have been "begins". Sorry about that.
Since I've never married, I've just always had the willpower to save having children for after marriage.
My comments are probably going to make some people mad but like I said, that's the way I feel. Kathy.

I am not a mother but I do believe life begins at conception. The abortion debate is simple for me, because from conception we are talking about a person, and to decide whether to kill a person, a child, or not is pretty straightforward to me!

I think my answer really depends on how people define "life".
Of course when fertilisation occurs the zygote which is formed is "living" and in that way "life" has begun. However I am of the stance that real life (not in a biological sense) only begins once birth has occurred, when memories can be formed and experiences can be felt. So I guess I would say both yes and no to life beginning at conception.

Yes! you are absolutely right, that life begins at the time of conception. Because conception is actually the time when the real seed of what would be a baby in 9 minths time are sown.
Being a male, i would not be able to describe the physical and metal stress that a women must be going through this period. But yes i could say with quite certainty that pregnancy must be one of the most fulfilling experinces of a women's life.
It is actually hard to describe the emotions that i myself went through when i first saw my wife and my little daughter being wheeled out of the OT after she had to go through a caesarean. It really felt great when i first held my tiny daughter's frame in my hands.

yeah,you are right.Franklin said that the if the bag doesn't lean on some things ,it doesn't stand up.It is said that if you don't put some things in the bag or put a stick in the bag. the bag can't stand up. In other words,that is the life 's start like a empty bag .he should have conception .he can have full life.
