Why is elephant develops faster in the mother's womb?
Faster than what? Elephant pregnancies last for approximately 22 months.
If the male is o and the female o does it increase the chances of twin pregnancy?
No, twins are a result of genetic flukes or hyperovulation or artificial means. Hyperovulation is a condition that causes the mother to produce more than 1 egg at a time. Orgasm has nothing to do with how many babies you get and most mothers can expect 1 baby per pregnancy.
How can an unborn infant in the womb survive without breathing air?
The fetus gets all the oxygen he needs from the mother's blood by way of the umbilical cord. After birth, he must take his first breath and he will cry at the same time. This crying causes him to take in more air. The lungs will begin to work just as they do now in you.

When your pregnant and you start to show can you still suck it in so its not noticeable?

Is it common for your baby to have a heartbeat of 72 bpm?
It depends on how old the baby is. If it's unborn or a newborn then no, that is uncommon and I would consult your doctor. An unborn or newborn's heart rate should be between 130 - 150 bpm with some variability, depending on how far along in development it is.
Also, it depends on how you got the number 72. If you were measuring the bpm yourself it is extremely likely that you picked up your heart rate and not the baby's. This can even happen in doctor's appointments but the doctor will notice and adjust the ultrasound monitor to pick up the baby's heartbeat.
How does alcohol go from a mothers stomach to the fetus brain?
Through her bloodstream & the placenta. Alcohol is a small molecule, too small for the placenta to block. The latest information from the American Conference of Obstetrician Gynecologists ACOG is for women to Totally Abstain alcohol during gestation.
Because pregnancy starts during your 'last' period. Pregnancy begins even before conception. So that means your body was already preparing for the baby (which is what it does after your monthly cycle) before the sperm and egg were joined. Hence...you are nine weeks pregnant...but your fetus is only 7 weeks along because conception only happened 7 weeks ago...but your body began preparing nine weeks ago. I found that weird too when I found out I was 7 weeks pregnant when I had sex only 5 weeks prior. Hope that helps.
What does a fetus lool like at 3 weeks?
At 5 weeks pregnant. (about three weeks from conception)
* The embryo grows from a tiny speck about 2mm - the size of a pin head. * By the end of the week the embryo will have more than doubled in size to about 4-5mm about a 1/8 inch in size. The fertilized egg, now called a blastocyst, is a fluid-filled cluster of about 500 cells, still multiplying madly. It is attached to the uterus wall and divides into two parts. The half attached to the uterine wall becomes the placenta, the vessel-filled support system that nourishes the developing life, and the other half will become the baby.

Is it normal to be showing only a small bump of a belly at 29 weeks if you can feel your baby kick?
Yes Some women, especially young, slim, fit ones with good muscle tone don't show much of a bump at all. Check it out by having an ultrasound scan if you are worried.
What are the ridges inside of a fetal pigs stomach?
The ridges are called rugae. They provide the stomach with more surface area for food. When food enters the stomach, these wrinkles expand and become stretched out. The purpose is to allow it to expand. This therefore allows expansion in volume of the pig.
A normal heart rate for a baby at 37 weeks gestation is approximately between 120s to 140s. The babies heart rate fluctuates just like an adults during periods of rest and activity. If the babies heart rate goes below the normal range ( 120 ) then that means the doctor would need to evaluate the baby to make sure that everything was ok.
Dangerous effect of Vitamin K to less than 27 weeks baby?
Vitamin K is given to new born babies to prevent them from having catastrophic bleeding - which would likely to cause their death. There is very little danger of a vitamin being dangerous as long as it is administered correctly.
What sac does the fetus float in?
Amnion. It starts out as the Second Layer of cells in the Zygote/Fert Egg.
In general, vaginal ultrasounds are said to be more accurate than abdominal ultrasounds. However, there are documented cases where they have been wrong, with tragic results. If a baby is no longer alive, there is a series of tests that can be done to determine this. Ultrasound is only one of them. Take care not to take hasty action. Usually the body will take care of things itself, but if you should become feverish you should seek help straight away.
