Phantom fetal movement is perceived movement when there is no fetus in utero, or if the fetus has not actually moved.
Vernix caseosa is the greasy substance that forms a protective layer on the fetus in utero and may be present at birth. It is made up of skin cells, sebum, and other substances secreted by the fetus.

Fifth Disease
Is it possible that a fetus in utero can gain two and one half pounds in one week during your 38th week?
All stillbirths are macerated. The term "macerated" refers to every change that takes place while the fetus is in utero prior to its death.
Not really. While in utero, a fetus receives all nutrition and eliminates some waste through the umbilical cord. The fetus can and does, however, urinate through it's urinary tract when it is developed. The amneotic fluid that the fetus floats in and is protected by, is mostly it's own urine.
The medical term for direct observation of the fetus and surrounding tissue is "fetoscopy." This procedure involves using a thin, lighted tube with a camera to view the fetus in utero and can help diagnose certain conditions or abnormalities. It is typically performed during pregnancy to assess the health of the fetus.
Yes, erections can occur in utero. Fetuses can experience erections as early as the second trimester, likely due to hormonal changes and the development of the nervous system. These involuntary occurrences are a normal part of fetal development and are not associated with sexual arousal, as the fetus is not yet capable of such feelings.
Yes, a fetus can be injured in utero, but it is protected by the amniotic fluid and the uterine wall. Cuts or injuries can occur from trauma, such as in car accidents or falls, or through invasive procedures like amniocentesis. However, the risk of significant injury to the fetus is generally low in the absence of severe trauma. It's important for pregnant individuals to take precautions to minimize risks to both themselves and the fetus.
No, epilepsy is an electrical event in the brain and couldn't be diagnosed unless a seizure was detected. It would be highly unlikely to detect a seizure while the fetus was still in utero.
If you mean the medical term it would be intrauterine.
