Child Studies COMPLETE UNIT: Conception to Birth

In the Stage 5 Australian/NSW curriculum, Child Studies explores the broad range of social, environmental, genetic and cultural factors that influence prenatal development and a child’s sense of wellbeing and belonging between 0 and 8 years of age. The Conception to Birth unit within the Child Studies subject has students developing their understanding of the processes associated with reproduction, conception and birth. They examine each stage of pregnancy, and the support available to mothers as they experience physical and emotional changes when preparing for birth. Students also explore ways in which different cultures prepare for the birth of a child.
