Short answer: a sperm from a man meets and fertilizes an egg from a woman. That fertilized egg implants in the uterus and grows into a baby over about nine months.
A bit more detail, step by step:
- Each month a woman’s ovary usually releases an egg (ovulation).
- If sperm (from a man) gets into the woman’s reproductive tract—usually after sex—the sperm can swim up through the cervix and uterus to the fallopian tube.
- If one sperm joins with the egg (fertilization), they form a single cell that starts dividing.
- The dividing cells travel to the uterus and implant in the uterine lining. That implanted embryo develops into a fetus over roughly 40 weeks (about nine months).
Other ways babies are made:
- Assisted reproduction like IVF: eggs and sperm are combined in a lab and the embryo is placed into the uterus.
- People also use donor sperm or eggs, and surrogates can carry pregnancies for others.
Important notes:
- Sex should always be consensual and legal. If you’re underage, talk with a trusted adult.
- Contraception (condoms, pills, IUDs, etc.) can prevent pregnancy; condoms also help protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- If you want more detail (how pregnancy develops, how contraception works, what sex is like, or safe sex), tell me what level of detail you want and I’ll explain. You can also get accurate info from a doctor, nurse, or services like Planned Parenthood.
