The baby is located behind the abdominal muscles, within the uterus, which is situated in the pelvic cavity. The abdominal muscles form a protective layer around the uterus and other internal organs. As the pregnancy progresses, the growing baby pushes against the abdominal wall, but it remains inside the uterus, separated from the abdominal muscles.

Why do I have Sore abdominal muscles during early pregnancy?
Your body is preparing for the baby. As you have to grow, the muscles have to stretch causing tender stomach soreness.
What muscles will increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity to help in urination dedication and childbirth?
The muscles that increase pressure in the abdominal cavity during urination, defecation, and childbirth are primarily the diaphragm, the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and obliques), and the pelvic floor muscles. When these muscles contract, they elevate intra-abdominal pressure, assisting in expelling urine, feces, or aiding in the delivery of a baby. The coordinated action of these muscle groups is crucial for effective functioning during these processes.
Is it bad to flex your abs while pregnant and how can it affect the health of the mother and baby?
Flexing your abs while pregnant is generally not recommended as it can put unnecessary strain on the abdominal muscles and potentially lead to complications such as diastasis recti, where the abdominal muscles separate. This can affect the health of the mother by causing discomfort and potentially delaying postpartum recovery. Additionally, excessive abdominal flexing can restrict blood flow to the uterus, which may impact the baby's growth and development. It is important for pregnant women to consult with their healthcare provider before engaging in any strenuous abdominal exercises.

Why is my newborn's navel popping out?
A newborn's abdominal wall is not strong right now and so the abdominal muscles split open, allowing some of the intestines to push outside the abdominal wall. It's not serious and usually goes away as the baby gets older. If the condition does not improve by the babie's first birthday, I'd suggest taking your baby to the doctor to see if something non-invasive can be done. Often if it does not get better by age two, a minor surgery is usually done to push the intestines back into the abdominal cavity.
Why is my stomach hard when I press on it during pregnancy?

How is baby's born?
The answer is long, long, long. I will try to answer it in a nutshell: it involves the actions of hormones that act on the uterus to make it contract and expel the baby, and act on the mouth of the uterus to make it open. These contractions are involuntary, but are aided by voluntary contractions of the abdominal and pelvic muscles of the mother. The baby also contributes by turning, rotating and positioning self in such a way that it goes out. Or, you can just have a C-section!
