Labour has three stages: The first stage is when the neck of the womb (cervix) opens to 10cm dilated. The second stage is when the baby moves down through the vagina and is born. The third stage is when the placenta (afterbirth) is delivered.

As your baby grows, more sounds will become audible to them. Around week 25 or 26, babies in the womb have been shown to respond to voices and noise. Recordings taken in the uterus reveal that noises from outside of the womb are muted by about half.

The scientists said they suspect the decrease in movement occurs because there is less room for the baby to move around. But babies in the womb are doing more than just kicking. By 15 weeks, the baby is also punching, opening and closing its mouth, moving its head, and sucking its thumb.

Uterus (also called the womb): The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in a woman's lower abdomen, between the bladder and the rectum, that sheds its lining each month during menstruation. When a fertilized egg (ovum) becomes implanted in the uterus, the baby develops there.

During childbirth, the muscles at the top of your uterus press down on the baby's bottom. Your baby's head then presses on your cervix which, along with the release of the hormone oxytocin (see 'How hormones help you give birth', below), brings on contractions.

Children that are conceived outside of the womb are called babies. They were conceived via IVF, but other than that there is nothing different about them. ... They are carried in the womb like every other baby and are attached via a placenta which afterbirth causes a belly button.

Viewer discretion is advised. A video from a Spanish hospital captures the moment a baby is born within the amniotic sac, an occurrence that only happens 1 in every 80,000 births. It is also known as a "caul birth" (the caul is the membrane which covers the foetus).

Amniotic fluid is the liquid that surrounds the baby in the womb (uterus). It comes from the baby's kidneys, and it goes into the uterus from the baby's urine. The fluid is absorbed when the baby swallows it and through breathing motions.

The umbilical cord also carries waste away from the baby. Once a baby is born, they can breathe, eat, and get rid of waste on their own, so the umbilical cord is cut off. Left behind are a couple of inches of umbilical cord called the stump, which will slowly dry and fall off like a scab.

When he's curled up inside the womb, your baby doesn't have much exploring to do. But even in this protected world, a fetus is actively developing a sense of touch that will help him explore and learn from the moment he's born. Before your baby can smell, taste, see or hear, he's already developed another sense: touch.

Your baby's movement is a normal part of fetal development. He or she is kicking because of light, noise, or even due to different types of food you're eating. They can actually hear and respond to what's going on outside of the uterus.

After the 8th week, your baby is called a fetus instead of an embryo. By the end of the second month, your baby is about 1 inch long and weighs about 1/30 of an ounce. Your baby's arms, hands, fingers, feet and toes are fully formed.

When they are born in water, their body behaves as if they are still in the womb until they take their first breath of air, at which point their lungs open up. As a baby comes from water (in the womb) into water (in the birth pool), the lungs are not open and no water can enter.

The medical term for this phenomenon is 'quickening' and it is regarded as one of the major milestones of pregnancy. From about the 12th week of pregnancy, the uterus moves up out of the pelvic cavity and continues to enlarge at a regular rate so that it reaches the umbilicus (belly-button) by around week 22.

The last stage of prenatal development is the fetal stage, which lasts from two months after conception until birth. About one month into this stage, the sex organs of the fetus begin to form. The fetus quickly grows as bones and muscles form, and it begins to move inside the uterus.
