At around the 8th month of gestation, the lungs of the fetus are filled with a fluid called amniotic fluid. This fluid is crucial for lung development and helps prepare the fetus for breathing air after birth. The lungs also begin producing surfactant, a substance that reduces surface tension and prevents the alveoli from collapsing, which is essential for proper breathing once the baby is born.

Labored breathing and fluid in the lungs of a 5-month-old baby can be caused by several conditions, including pneumonia, bronchiolitis, or congenital heart defects.

Additionally, respiratory distress can occur due to allergies or exposure to irritants. It is crucial to seek medical attention promptly to diagnose and treat the underlying issue.
Why is it that 8th month babies are in more danger than 7th month babies?
hi, i onloy found this out with my second child due to planned c section, a babies lungs are full obviously not in use while inside you, but at 8 months their lungs fill up with fluid to aid them in maturing, if a baby is born at 7 months, the lungs are clear so has better chance of breathing alone than at 8 motnhs when lungs are full, its called wet lung from what i remember. but by the time they hit the 9 month and ready mark the lungs empty again ready for delivery and breathing oxygen when born. hope this helps x

What month do doctors stop giving abortions?
Depending on the laws in an area Doctors will terminate pregnancy at any time. There are emergency health situations which may require termination at any time of the pregnancy. As a foetus of 6 months or more can survive by itself in an incubator the doctor will usually try to preserve the life of an advanced foetus and in an emergency will carry out a C Section rather than an abortion. If the mother wishes to voluntarily terminate her pregnancy in jurisdications where this is allowed it is typical that she must do so before the 3rd month of pregnancy.
As a pregnant woman I could not lie down flat after my fourth month of pregnancy. The one time I did I rolled onto the floor on all fours unable breathe and almost vomiting. Why is that?
Because the growing foetus was pressing upon your vital organs when you lay in a horizontal position. Your stomach was being compressed, making you feel nauseous, and this in turn would have pressed against your lungs, restricting your breathing. These symptoms are not uncommon during late pregnancy, which is why many pregnant women sleep sitting half-upright in their latter stages. But it IS quite unusual to have them so early on as the fourth month- it doesn't mean that there was anything wrong though, just that either the foetus was growing rapidly early, or that your uterus was pushed up to an unusually high position in your abdominal cavity, maybe because you have a narrow pelvis.
