Amazing Facts About Babies In The Womb

Amazing Facts About Babies In The Womb

Learn some truly amazing facts that they undergo from conception to birth.

Unbelievable Growth : During the nine months between conception and birth, a baby’s weight increases 3,000 million times. On average. And this doesn’t even take into account for multiple births.

Babies Eat Before Mom : Much like after they are born, babies eat first. Using the umbilical, they take the nutrients they need and leave mom the rest. This is why it’s so important for a woman to eat a healthy diet during pregnancy.

It’s All About The Heart : Prenatal babies take less than a month to develop and begin using their heart. On average it takes only 18 days from conception.

I Can Hear You : In another amazing accomplishment before the first month of the first trimester, they have begun to form their hearing. Vision and respiratory systems also form.

What Are You Thinking About? : Although what they are thinking isn’t certain, the brain waves of a fetus can be recorded. This usually happens at the 42nd day after conception.

Their First Pacifier : Babies don’t wait until they are outside the womb to begin sucking their thumb. In this blog entry, Rambling Madwoman shows you her ultrasound at seven weeks, along with the adorable pictures of thumb sucking and other details.

All Systems Go : Although they are not running at full speed, babies have developed or begun to develop all of their bodily systems before the second month of the first trimester is over. It usually happens by the eighth week after conception.

Womb, Schmomb : A babies chances of surviving outside the womb under intensive medical care can happen at around after the six month period. A prenatal baby that is 26 weeks old after conception has over a 50% chance of surviving.

Their First Cry : While the doctor spanking them at birth might sound like their first cries, they aren’t. Babies can cry at the 26 week mark after conception. They even have taste buds, which might explain some of their crying.

But Can They Laugh? : The short answer is “no.” However, babies on ultrasound are seen to react to their mother’s laughing by bouncing up and down. This can happen in as little as 32 weeks after conception.

Moms, We've seen lots of posts about moms trying to naturally induce labor quite early. If you are interested in this kind of information, you should seek the advice of a medical professional because every pregnancy is different. For educational purposes and without any judgement, here is what the March of Dimes states about babies born too early. We will also post this on our blog this weekend. Babies born too early may have more health problems at birth and later in life than babies born later. Being pregnant 39 weeks gives your baby's body all the time it needs to grow. Here's why your baby needs 39 weeks: Important organs, like his brain, lungs and liver, get the time they need to develop. He is less likely to have vision and hearing problems after birth. He has time to gain more weight in the womb. Babies born at a healthy weight have an easier time staying warm than babies born too small. He can suck and swallow and stay awake long enough to eat after he's born. Babies born early sometimes can't do these things. Can scheduling an early birth cause problems for you and your baby? Yes. Experts are learning that scheduling an early birth for non-medical reasons can cause problems for mom and baby. Below are examples of problems that can happen when a birth is scheduled too soon for a non-medical reason. Your due date may not be exactly right. Sometimes it's hard to know just when you got pregnant. Even with an ultrasound, your due date can be off by as much as 2 weeks. If you schedule to induce labor or schedule a cesarean birth (also called a c-section) and your date is off by a week or 2, your baby may be born too early. Inducing labor may cause problems for you and your baby. These can include: Stronger and more frequent contractions. This happens for many women. Contractions are when the muscles of your uterus get tight and then relax. Possible infections Uterine rupture. This is when the uterus tears during labor. It happens very rarely. Inducing labor may not work. If your labor is induced, the medicine your doctor or certified nurse-midwife (also called CNM) gives you may not start your labor. When this happens, you may need to have a c-section. A c-section can cause problems for your baby. Babies born by c-section may have more breathing and other medical problems than babies born by vaginal birth. (Most babies are born by vaginal birth. The mother's uterus contracts to help push the baby out through the vagina, also called the birth canal.) C-sections can cause problems in future pregnancies. Once you have a c-section, you may be more likely in future pregnancies to have a c-section. The more c-sections you have, the more problems you and your baby may have, including problems with the placenta. A c-section is major surgery for mom. It takes longer for you to recover from a c-section than from a vaginal birth. You can expect to spend 2 to 4 days in the hospital after a c-section. Then you need about 4 to 6 weeks after you go home to fully recover. You also may have complications from the surgery, like infections and bleeding. So it's important to stay in touch with your health care provider even after you go home. Please talk to your doctor or midwife about this topic. Share your respectful thoughts and we'll add it to our article. Thanks, mom.life_USA
