before a baby is born it truns upside down in the uterus, how and why?

The baby has to turn to come out head first.\nIf it doesn't then it would be breech birth(butt first)\nThat can be a critical problem.

It is possible that the cords are just higher up than you were checking, but see a doctor *immediately*.  You may be pregnant, *and* you may have a perforated uterus.  Both are reasons to check what is going on, and *today*--don't wait.

That is perfectly normal.   Check out this link  http://www.med.upenn.edu/fetus/gestage.html

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and I do know that it is possible to have this operation reversed. The odds of it working are low but it is possible.There are a few women who have had babies. In fact I know of someone that had the whole lot removed, uterus,tubes and ended up pregnant. Before she had the op she had intercourse with her husband, the sperm fused with her egg. After the op she had no womb, the little bugger attached itself to the wall where the womb once was and grew it even had a water bag around it.

Just to add- if your belly button popped out when you were pregnant you could have had a hernia or torn muscle which is normal during pregnancy.  If you are having problems with toning one side that used to be tone then you could have some damage there.  Unfortunately, no matter what any trainer tell you the only way to fix it is plastic surgery.   My girlfriend just went through this.... not the surgery part- just trying to get her stomach flat again!

This is a well document fact! A woman doesn't have her True Body Shape until after the Birth of her first child. Love your baby and the body you live in! Its what is on the inside that matters!

-Plenty of foreplay\n-Water based lubrication such as KY Jelly\n-and I agree with the previous anwered about the tilted utero. It's a small fraction of women that are shaped like that (like me) and it maked certain positions painful. When you go deep it touches the end of the vagina and "it" can bumped into her colon wall, which is extremely painful. \n\nBe considerate and make this an oportunity to try different positions. \n\nGood luck

no, that answer isn't right.  It has to do with weaker stomach muscles when you are born, at least that is what my OBGYN told me.

yes. there is a vaginal opening (where the penis is inserted, and where a baby comes out during birth) and then there is a MUCH smaller opening called the urethral opening, where urine comes out. it is located about an inch above the vaginal opening. here are some links to a diagrams:\n\nhttp://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/cancer_images/uterus-diagram-side.gif\n\nhttp://www.afraidtoask.com/woman/vulva.html

After delivery, the cord is clamped and trimmed close to the baby.  It then shrivels up and falls off, leaving a belly button.  The rest of the cord goes with the placenta, most likely into the trash.

Lol....when you are pregnant and as you give birth, the areas around your hips, low back, and tailbone, especially around your spinal column, all shift around markedly.  This is because a hormone released while you are pregnant, loosens up everything in the area (usually the areas involved are much more stable).  It is quite common for the various nerves to be squeezed and compromised, especially if you are older (ie 30's as opposed to 20's).  Drop foot is typically seen in people who have the nerve roots squeezed at L4 (about 2-4 inches above the crack of your ass).\n\nUsually, it's not a big deal.  Symptoms eventually go away and function returns.  However, if you experience certain symptoms.....incontinance (or inability to go to the bathroom even though you have to), the inability to feel anything down there around the area that would be touching a saddle if you were riding a horse (saddle parathesia) or even numbness and tingling around that area.  Some others.  These are signs of something called cauda equina syndrome....a surgical emergency.  They mean that the nerve is being squeezed so tightly that blood flow is being cut off to it.  They could be damaged permanently....causing symptoms like drop foot to become permanent.

You got me going over this, so I've been all over the world looking for an answer\n\nWhat is behind my belly button?\n\nAccording to the punch line of an old joke: "If you unscrew your belly button, your bottom falls off." In reality, the umbilical vein comes from the afterbirth or placenta, which carries blood enriched with oxygen and nutrients to the developing baby.\n\nThe umbilical vein runs from the navel to the fetal liver and through a bypass vessel (the ducted venosus) to the fetal heart. After birth, the umbilical vein remains open for a time, but soon afterwards it closes and shrivels up to become a fibrous cord. It crosses the abdominal cavity in a fold of the abdominal wall lining forming the round ligament (the ligamentum teres). Sometimes things don't close as they should and an umbilical hernia develops.\n\nmeaning\n\nOur belly button does not heal over because there is nothing between it and our stomach except a few thin layers of skin

Well, deviated means out of alignment, but I never heard it used to describe a uterus.  A uterus can be tipped toward the back, which would be a deviation from the norm.\nIt doesn't mean that it's bad, or needs correction.  If someone had severe period pains, or was unable to become pregnant,(no. it does not mean you can have unprotected sex), then maybe you'd be referred to a specialist.

When a parent has an inversion there is an increased risk for offspring with an incorrect amount of genetic material. This can lead to babies with birth defects and/or abnormal development or an increased risk for miscarriage. The possible pregnancy outcomes for an individual with an inversion is rather complicated and depends on how big the inversion is, where it is, and what type of inversion is present, paracentric or pericentric. There are many inversions that occur in the general population that are called normal variants. Including Inv(9) and Inv(2). These inversions are not related to an increased risk of birth defects and/or developmental difficulties.

If there's no bleeding then you're probably ok... the uterus is linked to the abdominal wall by uterine ligaments...during pregnancy, the changing shape of the uterus causes these ligaments to stretch, which can be painful.\n\nDuring my pregnancies, I'd have that sort of pain off and on for the first couple of months...
