The baby grows in the womb - which is another word for uterus. The pre-pregnancy uterus is fairly small, about the size of a woman's tightly clenched fist. It sits right above the vagina. The cervix - which can be felt at the top of the vagina connects the uterus and the vagina.
Before pregnancy the uterus is situated safely behind your pubic bone, unless a girl or woman is extremely thin, it can't really be felt by pressing on your tummy. Once an embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus, the uterus starts to move up - just a little bit to make room for the uterus to grow with the baby.
At 12 weeks gestation the very top of the womb (called the fundus) can be felt at the same height as the pubic bone - for the next 28 to 30 weeks it will grow at the rate of 1cm/week - so by 20 weeks the womb will measure 20cm and will be about even with the mother's belly button. Tracking this growth is one way the doctor knows all is progressing normally. At 40 weeks the womb will measure 40cm - by this time most women are pretty sure there is no more room in the womb - thankfully the journey is about over.
When you hear someone talk about about the baby growing in their stomach feel free to remind them the baby is no where near their stomach, as it safely safely grows womb and all.

It sounds like an error in the coin stamping process. When coins are minted, a round, blank piece of metal is punched out of a strip of flat metal. The flat planchet (the minting term for a blank coin) is then moved along until it is between two steel dies that have the coin's reverse images engraved on it, one side of the die is pressed downward onto the planchet as it rests on the opposite die. Sometimes these dies will come unbolted and rotate or become misaligned and produce a coin with a crooked or off-center image. Coin collectors love these "error" or mint fault coins. It is certainly worth something to the right coin collector. I would put it on eBay and see what happens.
How does a foetus get its oxygen?
It comes from a temporary organ called the placenta. The fetus is connected to the placenta by the umbilical cord. From the placenta, which is normally attached to the uterine wall, blood, oxygen, and nutrients are transferred through the umbilical cord to the developing fetus.
What is the role of the uterus in the development of the fetus and the placenta?
The uterus is where the fetus develops and the placenta connects the uterus to the fetus.

What is the first organ formed in the fetus?
The heart is the first organ to develop in a fetus. Together, blood and the circulatory system, that is powered by the heart, form the first organ system.
At what day or week of pregnancy does the human fetus normally start to produce pancreatic enzymes?
No any study has been conducted as such. This is more or less a theoretical question, as foetus has nothing to digest except few epithelial cells. So probably at the end of the first trimester fetus can secrete the pancreatic secretions. Fetus consume the amniotic fluid and urinates the same continuously. After birth only baby needs the pancreatic secretions to digest the colostrum or the milk.
They grow for a few days then they could fly now like their mummy.
Do baby geese have umbilical cords?
No. The young of all birds including geese come from eggs which are laid by the mother, so the baby is in the egg outside the mother for some days before the egg is hatched.
