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.
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.
I wouldn't, but my wife might if she were pregnant. Echo-grams are often used to check up on the in-utero fetus. It's one way, for example, of sexing the fetus to see if it's a boy or girl. It's also used to check the health of the fetus and ensure, for example, that the umbilical cord is not wrapped around its neck.
