Can your baby move in your back?

I don't think so! :) More info: As the baby develops and grows bigger, it may seem as though s/he is moving in your back. The baby's limbs and head can push on your internal organs, which can cause a sensation of movement in your back, and even upwards towards the lungs. This can be even more common if the baby is large, or if you are carrying twins or triplets. If you've had an ultra sound, it would have shown if there were any abnormalities, such as any sort of displacement of the uterus. So unless there are no other sypmptoms, or no problems, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. But you should mention it to your doctor at your next pre-natal visit just for peace of mind.

Where does the umbilical cord go after it enters the baby's body?

The umbilical cord enters the fetus via the abdomen, at the point which (after separation) will become the umbilicus (or navel). Within the fetus, the umbilical vein continues towards thetransverse fissure of the liver, where it splits into two. One of these branches joins with the hepatic portal vein (connecting to its left branch), which carries blood into the liver. The second branch (known as the ductus venosus) allows the majority of the incoming blood (approximately 80%) to bypass the liver and flow via the left hepatic vein into the inferior vena cava, which carries blood towards the heart. The two umbilical arteries branch from the internal iliac arteries, and pass on either side of the urinary bladder before joining the umbilical cord.

Are you having a miscarriage if a scan at five weeks shows only a sac and not the baby and you have been in pain?

It is entirely normal for only the sac to be seen in the fifth week of pregnancy. In some pregnancies the tiny embryo will just be visible for the first time in this week, but for others it may not be seen until the next week. All that is visible before this is the sac, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad as yet. If you are cramping and bleeding it may mean a miscarriage but often this settles down. Your hCG level is another way of telling how things are going. This is measued with a pregnancy test using blood or urine.
