The developing fetus is changing in size and shape, some more than others. Since it is not directly attached to the uterine wall, it can move about within the amniotic fluid of the womb, and can assume a variety of orientations.

Once the baby leaves the womb, the umbilical cord is cut, and the remaining cord is removed (part of the afterbirth).
