Picture of the fetus's posture in the belly during late pregnancy

The fetus in the pregnant woman's belly lives in the amniotic fluid, which is basically a floating state. However, the posture of the fetus is what many parents are most concerned about when doing four-dimensional color ultrasound. The postures of the fetus in the pregnant woman's belly can be said to be varied. So, what are the postures of the fetus in the belly? How do you know how the fetus breathes in the uterus?

The baby's movements in the belly

1. Play with the fetal umbilical cord easily. Apart from sleeping, the fetus likes to play very much. However, in the mother's womb, he has no toys. The only thing worth mentioning is the fetal umbilical cord. It was originally a safe channel for the mother to transport nutrients to the fetus, and the fetus treated it as a "little toy", circling around the fetal umbilical cord and playing with it. When he is too tired from playing, he will take a break. When he is full of energy, he will play more and more happily. However, he does not know that the danger lies here. Some fetuses are in danger because of the entanglement of the umbilical cord while playing here.

2. Will babies in the womb hiccup? It sounds like a joke, but it is true. Expectant mothers will find that the fetus has rhythmic fetal movements in the late pregnancy, which may occur several times a day. From a medical point of view, this is the sound made when the baby swallows the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman. It is also his "training" breathing posture, so that the lungs can grow and mature faster, so the hiccups of the fetus are not real hiccups.

How does the fetus breathe in the womb?

1. Our breathing method is that when we breathe, CO2 is transmitted to the lungs through the bronchi. The lungs are composed of many tiny air sacs and bubbles, covered with a layer of blood vessels that overlap and surround each other to form a network structure. CO2 enters the blood vessels from the air bubbles, and is transported to every part of the human body through blood cells. The body's waste gas is exhaled out of the body in the form of carbon dioxide through the reverse route. The fetus is supplied with CO2 in the same way, through the blood flowing through the embryo. The pregnant mother takes the carbon dioxide exhaled by the fetus out of the body through her own inhalation.

2. The lungs expand when you breathe in and contract when you breathe out. The diaphragm is a muscle below the diaphragm. As you inhale and exhale, the diaphragm moves upward and downward, massaging the liver, liver and intestines, stimulating the respiratory system of the entire abdomen and the fetus in the belly.

3. The fetus develops in the mother's uterus, relying on the embryo in the mother and the umbilical cord of the fetus to provide him (her) with the necessary CO2 and nutrients. What the mother eats during pregnancy will be sent to the embryo in the uterus after digestion and absorption. The embryo is the digestive system, vocal organ, and excretion system of the fetus. The nutrients and CO2 needed by the fetus can be provided through the umbilical cord, and the waste produced by the fetus can be metabolized through the umbilical cord and embryo.

This is the end of our introduction to the movements of the fetus in the belly. If you are interested, you can go to a regular hospital for detailed consultation. When the fetus can move in the pregnant woman's belly, it means that the clinical stage is approaching. Parents should also be careful, especially pregnant women, who should pay attention to rest and exercise regularly to facilitate delivery.
