Does a woman womb really drop?

The term womb drop actually is inaccurate. What actually happens is the baby drops further down in the womb. His head becomes engaged in the pelvis which means his head is pressing against the cervix, or the doctor/midwife will say the head is applied against the cervix.

In a first pregnancy this can happen a couple weeks before the baby is due. But it is exciting. it means everything is working and the time is getting close.

A woman who has already had a baby, sometimes doesn't "drop" until right around the time she goes into labor, or is in labor.

Can the gender of a fetus be determined at 12 weeks?

The above answer is actually incorrect, Yes you can tell the sex from 12 weeks onwards if the sonographer has researched and knows how to use the nub theory which is basically the angle of the dangle, every baby has a nub that does look like a willy up until around the 16th week but it is the angle of the nub which allows you to determine gender for boys the nub has to be pointing up on more than a 30 degree angle and girls lower, the girls nub tends to be flat and in line with the spine there is lots of information on the 'nub theory' which claims to be 95% accurate at 12/13 weeks and in my own personal experience having two little girls and seeing there nubs both me and sonographer agreed they were girls hope this helps :)

How often should the baby kick at 31 weeks?

I am also 31 weeks. Congratulations! Our lamaze coach says that we should feel baby move at least 8 times in an hour. I don't really feel that unless I am lying down! So most of the day, when I am moving around I don't feel him much at all. Some days I feel him more than other days. I try not to panic when I don't feel him for a while. I lie down on my left side and try to relax and within a few minutes - I feel him bumping around. Good Luck!

When does the fetus start getting nutrients from the placenta while in the womb?

The endometrium begins to form shortly after the fertilized egg (blastocyst) implants into the uterine wall (endometrium). This typically occurs 3-4 days after fertilization. After implantation, the endometrium is called the Decidua, and basalis is the portion directly under the blastocyst. The Basalis joins the chorionic villi to make the placenta.
