fetal development inside the womb

Breathing in the Womb Babies do not actually breathe in the womb---at least, not in the usual sense. Fetal lungs are not fully functional, and are not even able to fully expand, until after birth. During the later stages of gestation, the fetus may "practice" breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. The fetal lungs do not process the amniotic fluid, the way fully formed lungs process air, but experts believe this "breathing" is important to fetal lung development.

I was just wondering how long can a baby stay inside a mother womb? Because I'm 39+5 days now and since my next appointment is next week Thursday which I would be 40weeks and 5days. I was just wondering how long can a baby stay inside mother womb? Since I'm over my due date. ( my due date is the 12th but than they change it to the 10th than back to 12th than the 10th so I'm guessing my due date would be between there)...

Sorry to hear this. I had never heard of this and did some research. This is what I found. Hope it helps and prayers for you && the little one :) CPCs can form within this structure and come from fluid trapped within this spongy layer of cells, much like a soap bubble or a blister. CPCs are often called "soft signs" or fetal ultrasound "markers" because some studies have found a weak association between CPCs and fetal chromosome abnormalities.

My opinion is the baby in your womb grows a fine hair all over its body but falls off before birth there for baby might have had more hair before the baby came out

lol the baby does poop in the womb though...lol..hence why the doctor tells you to drink A TON of water to clean out the amniotic fluid...

Baby hiccups in the womb As the baby grows inside the womb, you may be surrounded by strange feelings especially when the baby kicks you or when the baby move around inside the womb. Quite often, the baby might go on hiccupping inside the womb and that usually leaves a lot of the expectant mothers a little worried, as to whether this hiccupping is normal or not.

They actually start to develop the last few weeks of the first trimester. I think 14 weeks is the earliest you may be able to see the sex?

Dr drew blood to check my hcg levels because he believes im very early in the pregnancy. But calculating the date od conception and start of my laat period, it was about a month ago. What stage/ how many weeks into the pregnancy does heart/brain/organs starr form?

Some moms can feel their babies move as early as 13-16 weeks from the start of their last period. These first fetal movements are called quickening and are often described as flutters. It may be difficult to determine whether this feeling is gas or your baby’s movements, but soon you will begin to notice a pattern. First-time moms may not feel these movements as early as second-time moms. Some moms, especially those in their first pregnancy, may not feel movement until 18-20 weeks.

Is it possible for a fetus 6 months in gestation to servive at only 3 months develpoment inside and outside of the womb? Where can i get more information on this at.

But more importantly, once she does become pregnant, low thyroid hormones will definitely impact the developing fetus. The earliest stages of fetal development is the time when it is most critical for the mother to have sufficient thyroid hormone. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24015847 "Conclusion: Early TH [thyroid hormone] insufficiency from maternal hypothyroidism affects offspring hippocampal development and memory.

So i heard playing classical music while your baby is in the womb it helps with brain development and makes them smarter. Idrc about the smart part but does it really help with the babys brain development i just want to know if its true because i wanted to do it. have any of you did it nd seen anything for those who've had their babies already?

I would think that once the nervous system is fully developed that it is quite possible that the baby does. Around week 18 is when the babies nervous system is developed enough for movement and it just tends to get stronger from there (baby movement that is). However, baby is so well cushioned that it is unlikely to feel pain from the outside. I would assume that your doctor is keeping a close eye on you. Be sure to keep up with your kick counts.

The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.

Am I the only one who constantly worries about the health of my unborn? I know all test have come out prefect and ultrasounds look good but there are always other things that could be wrong that nobody notices until the child is a couple months old. One of my biggest fear is always worrying if my child is getting enough oxygen in the womb. I'm only 28 weeks and I keep contracting so I keep worrying that too many contractions are restricting blood flow.

m 6 weeks pregnant at the moment and i thought everything was going find until i got a call from my hospital telling me they needed to schedule me for an earlier appointment because when reviewing my ultrasounds they saw a problem with the fetus development. does anyone have any idea what this can mean? I would really appreciate it if you can help.

Recent research has proven one risk for our children to have Autism and that is high levels of estrogen in the womb. For a very long time, the cause has been widely unknown and that this factors in is an important development in autism research. Prior studies had already implicated higher uterine concentrations of male sex hormones -- androgens -- in increasing the odds and now researchers and doctors have more information to better understand autism.

No its not. The womb is sanitary and has no bacteria or air in it to cause a fart. It might just be the baby moving weird.

i went for my first scan 2 days ago where i found out i was 6 weeks and 4 days. the docter never told me the rate of the heartbeat but did show me on the screen. 'my baby' measured 8mm at this stage is that normal? because ev everyone im speaking to says it is far too big and should be around 5mm.

6 months of continuous bleeding after a miscarriage is not normal - you need to go see your doctor a.s.a.p - you may still have some fetal tissue stuck in your womb.
