How does a baby stay alive in the womb?
Babies in the womb.
- How do babies survive in the womb?
Babies survive in the womb through a complex process that involves the placenta, the amniotic fluid, and the mother's body.
The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy, and it serves as the baby's lifeline, providing nutrients and oxygen through the umbilical cord. The placenta also filters out waste products and carbon dioxide from the baby's blood.
The amniotic fluid surrounds and protects the baby in the womb. It acts as a cushion, providing a protective barrier against external shocks and temperature changes, and also allows the baby to move and develop muscles and bones.
The mother's body also plays a critical role in supporting the baby's survival in the womb. The mother's immune system helps to protect the baby from infections and other foreign invaders, while hormones such as estrogen and progesterone regulate the growth and development of the baby.
Overall, the baby's survival in the womb is the result of a complex interplay of biological processes between the mother and the developing fetus.

During pregnancy, the developing baby also undergoes various stages of growth and development that prepare it for life outside the womb. For example, during the first few weeks of pregnancy, the baby's cells begin to divide and form different organs and structures, including the brain, heart, lungs, and digestive system.
As the baby grows, it becomes more and more capable of surviving outside the womb. For example,
- during the second trimester, the baby begins to develop a layer of fat, which helps to insulate the body and regulate body temperature. The baby also begins to practice breathing movements, which helps to develop the lungs in preparation for breathing air after birth.
Towards the end of the pregnancy, the baby is usually fully developed and ready to be born. The mother's body typically goes through a series of changes, including contractions and dilation of the cervix, to help the baby be born.
While the vast majority of babies are born healthy and without complications, there are some cases where medical intervention is necessary to support the baby's survival in the womb. For example, in cases of preterm labor, where the baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, doctors may use medications or other interventions to help prevent early delivery and improve the baby's chances of survival.

How does stress affect the embryo?
It is a biological thing. You are not creating an supportive environment so your body does not accept a pregnancy. In ancient times, a woman would be "stressed" if she was struggling to live due to food or environmental changes or perhaps trying to keep too many other children alive. They body's response is to delay conception as there is little chance of a baby surviving in these circumstances. Make some changes in your life - it will be well worth it. Stress effects your chances of conceiving in the sense that stress effects your period cycle and ovulation cycle.
What is the difference between baptized and christened?
The difference is the two different religions. When you are Christian you Christen the baby. When you are Baptist you are Baptized.
What is a baby called before birth?
9 months is the 'standard' time that a woman is pregnant for and during this time, the baby is developing. If the baby is born before 36 weeks, the baby is said to be 'premature' because the baby has not reached his/her full level of development.
Traditionally, a baby shower is given by a friend or friends (usually females) who are not related to the mom and daddy-to-be. However, it is becoming more and more common nowadays to have a family member throw the shower. This family member can be a cousin, aunt, grandmother, mother, sister, etc. so long as it is not the couple themselves giving the baby shower.
What is the sign of having a baby boy without going to the doctor?
The majority of what you hear are myths. They are untrue. The only thing that determines sexual orientation in an unborn baby it the chromosomes that the male carries in his sperm. Well although some people think the signs are MYTHS, they aren't A boy you carry lower and the heart-rate is usually in the 150 area and a girl the exact opposite higher,170 area. Trust and believe this is true because I had a baby boy and I carried low... At first I can say I thought he was gonna be a girl because his heart-rate was 172 but it lowered on my next visit to 154:)
What do you write on a daughter's baby shower card?
The information that should be included on the shower card invitation include the place where the shower is being held, the time, the date, your name, and your daughter's name. Include any stores where your daughter has registered for gifts.
What to do if your 14 and pregnant?
because i no what it feels like to think you are pregnat, i would go to your loacal clinic and ask them for a free pregnancy test and if it comes out positive then tell some one you can trust and get some advice from you school nurse or something and then decide. or you could try and tell your mum and see what she says if you think she would go mad then try and break the news to her very slowly! she should understand. it worked for me anyway =)
Can you move in with your boyfriend and his mom if you are pregnant and 16 years old?
No a 17 year old cannot move out of the house without her parents consent, If you leave your house before you are 18 years old ... especially since the guy is 20 .. your parents can have him arrested, and I'm sure they will. Once 18 you can do whatver you want, until then sorry hun America's rules. Him being 20 and you being 17 .. that is considered statuatory rape
-- well, if you live in Michigan, the age of Majority is 18, but of you move out at 17, the police will not take you home. You technically cannot be reported as a runaway, because according to MCL, you are NOT considered a minor. a Minor is a person LESS THAN the age of 17, and the juvenile court will have no say in what happens to you.
Can you have a baby shower for your second child?
Traditionally, a baby shower is only meant for the first baby. However, we are seeing more people have showers for subsequent babies, especially if they did not have a shower for the first baby, the second baby is of a different gender than the first child, or if there is a large age gap between the babies. A baby shower for a second or third baby is sometimes called a "sprinkle". Typically, the hostess will try to invite guests that have not been to the previous baby shower.
How long before your due date should you pack your hospital bag?
Packing pointers from the pregnant ladies:
- I would personally say three months before your due date, due to the possibility of premature labor. Obviously there would be nothing worse than going into premature labor without any of your personal belongings to make your experience much better. Plus, if you do go into labor early, the chances are you won't have the time to go round the house looking for the things you need to take into hospital.
- A few weeks before your due date, unless you're at risk for premature labor - or a worry-wart by nature.
- Pack it at least four weeks before. That way, if your water breaks or you go into labor early, you can get to the hospital and not have to concentrate on the stress of having to pack stuff and go around.
- I agree... I'm 35 weeks' pregnant and I packed my bags yesterday! You never know what could happen. I packed my bags and put them in the trunk, because you never know when contractions could hit, and you don't want to be running back to the house to grab everything. It's also a good idea to install the car seat a few weeks prior to your due date.
- See... I was just so excited that I had my bags packed at 30 weeks and I kept switching what I was bringing all the time. If I would have known what I was having from Day 1, I might have packed then...
- I would think around 5-6 months.
- Any time after 26 weeks.
- Any time you like; it depends on how long you have left, but why not add a little each week and then by the time you have reached near to the end you'll be all ready to go and not need to rush out and buy anything, but just check you have it all. That way it's less stressful and gives you something to do, as well as help to count down to the big day!!
- Two months before your due date; that way if it's a premature birth you will still be ready.
- I packed mine six weeks before my due date, which actually ended up being 8 weeks before the baby was born.
When you are in the womb are you a girl and then do you turn into a boy?
Its spelt womb and no. Your a human without any defined features to determine your sex. As the human spends longer in the womb their features start to define.
Is there financial support for pregnant teens?
Read on for more advice and comments from Wiki s contibutors:
- I am 15 years old and im 23 weeks pregnant my family is helping me and is so exited but they werent at first!I know theres WIC but i don't think im even elegible for it because my family might make too much money but really we don't....with the cost of food lately its expensive to go to the store even if u watch what ur buying. It costs my family about 250$ at the store when we get everything we need. And we don't even have that much for that. We have like 100$ ha and with 5 ppl in ur family its hard...plus no clothes and im gettin bigger i cant fit into mine ne more i was wearin extra smalls now im in mediums almost larges its hard...i need money for my child i cant even get a job cause im 15 no one will hire me and even if i was 16 or older i probably couldn't get a job ne way cause barely anyones hiring since the economy is so bad and they cant affford it. well im done here but im glad i made the decission to keep my baby girl but its gonna be hard on money!
- If the father isn't around, child support is usually enforced if you are requiring assistance with local and state human resources
- The only financial support pregnant teens should receive is the support from the father of the child. A child is the mothers responsibility, not the mothers parents, or the government but the mother alone and if you make the decision to keep your child then you should raise your child. You may struggle but whatever doesnt kill you will just make you stronger in the end.
- Yes there are financial support for teen mothers. Muh friend is on one now called WIC. And they give her coupons to go to the store and getr diapers babyfood and wat u need to take care of ur baby.
- Contact the DFS in your city or county. They will assist you in finding medical care, WIIC, and if needed living arrangements. There are also agencies to aid in a teen finishing their education, job training and placement, child care expenses and so forth. It takes TWO people to "make" a baby. You will need to name the father, so the state can, if possible recover some of the expenses and if the circumstances warrant begin the legal process of obtaining a child support order.
- I'm changing this entire answer. I am 19 years old and just recently learned that I have become pregnant. I continue to hear this recurrent theme throughout these answers - "Keep it in your pants". Well, you know what, if your mothers and fathers had "kept it in their pants", perhaps you wouldn't be here. I'm going through one of the most difficult times in my life, and "keep it in your pants" is not helping me through it. Perhaps if you all dropped your fundamentalist agendas for a moment, you'd see that YOUR CRITICISM is that which is making the abortion rates skyrocket. Personally, I don't know if there is financial support out there for pregnant teenagers, in fact, that's what I came here to find out. However, for the pregnant teenagers visiting this site, I feel your hardships, and I trust that you will not take the testimony of these ignorant people to heart.
- Forget all those people telling you to keep in their pants because honestly they know nothing. I am 16 years old and found out i am 7 weeks pregnant. Well when I finally told my parents my mom took me to dshs and i now have medical and i have an appointment with WIC and they will give me milk, juice, ceral, chesse and other food..If you havent looked it up find a local WIC office and go to your local dshs if you need medical or food stamps or financial help. I know what you are going through with people saying "keep it in your pants" and i hate that because it's like they have no compassion at all and i also believe that's a reason so many people have abortions. i really hope everything works out for you goodluck
- First off, i'd like to say that I am 17 years old and will be 18 next month and is 10 weeks pregnant. For all you judgemental people out there, who are you to judge others. Mistakes happen just like everyone in here are human. Stop acting like you or anyone you know didnt have a child as a teenager. Some may be able to do more than others. The whole point is that the situation is at hand. There is always an alternative (referring back to the question). There is WIC, public housing, child support, etc. So ignore those losers and keep your baby. Just go online and do some research. Talk to an adult whom you trust and they can help. Good luck on your decisions and remember, who cares what others think. It's your situation and you must deal with it not them. You don't owe anyone of them so keep your head up and do what you have to do.
- I am 16 and I will be 8 months next week. There are a couple of things you nee to think about. First of all let me say that I do not encourage any more posts like the one above mine. It is very immature and I am sure she was still in shock when she wrote it. Angry posts like that just ake us pregnant teens look worse. So here is what I can tell you. You can get WIC, it is very easy to get. If you are not married to the father than you are the child's mother and they will take your income..even if you don't have any. You can not, however, get food stamps. You hae to be 18. You may also be eligable for free health insurance...just go apply the worst thing they can do is say no, and if they do than you can figure it out from there. I very much encourage you to keep your baby, I am also having a girlans after carrying her this long I have fallin in love with her. Honetly my opinion is abortion is just straight up wrong, and as far as adoption, if you were big enough to lay down and have sex than you are big enough to do what it takes to take care of YOUR child.
What are the birth rituals of a Christian baby?
A Christian baby is born like any other baby but maybe in a Christian hospital. There is a Christening some time following birth. The baby is around one year old when this happens.
What does it mean when you always feel wet in the last couple weeks of pregnancy?
There may be a few reasons for this.
1. You may be suffering from urinary incontinence. The baby's head is pressing down and squeezes the bladder. You may not be aware that the "wetness" is urine leaking.
2. Your waters may have broken and the baby's head is well down in the pelvis and the amniotic fluid is leaking slowly.
3. You may have an increased normal vaginal discharge which may be watery.
4. You may have an infection - although the discharge is generally thicker and has an odor.
You should get this checked out with your midwife. If your waters have broken, you will need to be checked for infection, and if you have an infection, you need to be treated with antibiotics.
How come no one can remember life in the womb and being born?
No. If someone says that they do.......they are full of poop.
How long will it take to starve an unborn child to death?
Some animals have the possibility to reabsorb fetuses if conditions are poor, but in humans, this isn't really possible without the help of some really unethical medical procedures.
You can't starve an unborn child without starving the mother, and human bodies will usually try to keep the fetus alive at pretty much all costs.
The baby may be born small, underveloped, sickly and damaged, but it will be born pretty much even with the mother on the brink of death.
Does anyone remember the day before they were born?
No one can remember the day before they were born, as memory formation typically begins after birth. Infants do not have the cognitive ability to create lasting memories until several months into their lives. The experiences and sensations during that time are not accessible to conscious recall. Therefore, it remains a mystery what it was like before birth.
Im pregnant and have no clue what things my baby will need when shes born what should i get?
"He or she will need clothes, diapers, wipes, a crib, blankets (both bed and recieving), nail clippers, nail files, formula (if that is your choice), bottles, nipples, socks, shoes (optional), baby tylenol, teething gel, baby lotion, baby powder, baby shampoo, baby body wash, baby washcloths, baby Q-tips, a booger sucker, baby towels, a baby bath tub, and infant gas medicine. It's your choice if you want to buy your newborn baby any books or toys but they wont really enjoy them until they are around 3 or 4 months." "Also dont forget about you before the baby is born, make sure you take your prenatals every day and enjoy all the sleep you can get because when that baby gets here you wont be getting much of it."
"Stuff mentioned above are the basic needs of a baby. You should secure them prior of giving birth. Perhaps, you would also consider nursery for you baby and put some nursery decorations, furniture and lamps in it. It is adorable."
