From what I know about chemical compunds, there is too much H (Hydrogen) in water for land animals to breathe as there is none in air, or close to it. Also, it doesn't include Argon or Nitrogen.

For their counterpart, Water animals can not breathe air

(Except for dolphins and lung fish) because they do not reach a sufficient amount of Hydrogen. That's my guess anyway.

If babies can breathe in water in your belly then why cant we breathe under water?

Babies don't breathe the water in the womb. Their mothers breathe for them, and supply them with oxygen through the umbilical cord. Babies don't start breathing until they are born. Humans, well no mammal can breathe water, because our lungs can't get any oxygen from it. Although they do the same job, gills work in a slightly different manner, which allows fish to get oxygen from the water the way we get it from the air.
