It functions the same before and after birth, to conduct urine from the bladder to outside the body for elimination. Urine is developed in fetuses when the baby swallows amniotic fluids and as fluids are provided via the blood from the mother.
The urine that is released in utero combines with the other wastes and fluids in the amniotic fluid and is critical for maintaining the necessary fluid levels in the amniotic sac so that the fetal lungs will properly develop. If there is an obstruction of the urethra that prevents the urine from flowing into the amniotic fluid, the fluid level in the sac can go too low and the lungs will not properly develop, and the kidneys and urinary system can be severely damaged by the obstruction.
