According to chapter 2, how does the embryo develop in the womb, and how is it nourished?

It becomes kalala in ten days, turbid in ten more and firm in ten more, then bubble-like and solid in the following months; flesh grows in the fifth month, limbs in the sixth, skin, nails and hair in the seventh, and the head's opening pulsates in the eighth; birth comes in the ninth or tenth month. Until the seventh month it absorbs juices from the mother's food all around; after that it feeds through a navel cord.
