I am not saying this to be funny, but if you can handle it, sex. Semen actually thins the lining of the cervix. Have sex, eat pepperoni pizza and walk, walk, walk. Woke up in labor twice after that.

The first answerer to this question makes me angry because I dont know how people so freely answer with incorrect information; the babies ALWAYS develop in a woman's uterus. Science cannot replicate that environment, nor do they wish to at this point. But nevermind.\n\nTo answer your question: a "Test tube baby" is a term for a child which was concieved through in vitro (latin: in glass) fertilization. This process is usually carried out when either the female or the male is infertile so that the couple is still able to have a baby rather than adopt or be childless all their lives. An egg (usually more than one) and sperm are mixed together in a petri dish. Here, the sperm fertilizes the egg, forming a zygote. After the egg has been fertilized, it is then implanted into the soon-to-be mother's womb where she carries the baby to term, just as she would a baby which was naturally concieved.\n\nThe couple recieves either a donor egg or sperm for this procedure, due to the fact that it is most commonly done as a remedy for infertility. Sometimes no donor is needed and both prospective parents donate their sex cells to a surrogate mother. This usually occurs if the female is unable to safely carry a baby to term. Instead of having her carry her own baby, they create a zygote in vitro and implant it into a volunteer (usually paid) woman who will carry the baby instead, then give it to its biological parents when born.

Well if you think about it your period is your body trying to flush out the egg and all the excess material built up on the walls of the uterus essential for fertilization and conception. Until the body has seen fit and the process is over there is agreat likelyhood that the egg is still in the uterus and could be frertilized. The only sure way of not getting pregnant is to not have sex.

If a sperm does not fertilize the egg (from a woman's ovary), the body no longer needs the uterine lining to support the fertilized egg. Estrogen and progesterone levels then drop, triggering the uterine lining to gently fall away from the wall of the uterus, and to be shed through the vagina. The discharge of this lining is the menstrual flow. The entire process is called menstruation.

To say uterus will be too undetailed. Fetal development occurs in the endometrium of the uterus, which is the uterine lining. \n\nBoth the placenta and the amniotic sac originates from the endometrium, which also facilitates diffusion of nutrients btw the mom and the fetus thru the umbilical cord. hope that helped

Since the egg can't get past the 'knot' (it's usually cauterized though) it just sits in the fallopian tube until the body reabsorbs it. The sperm stays on the other side of the knot so they they never meet. Since the uterus is unaffected, you still have normal menstruation.

Uhm, if you dont' know then you have NOT had one. It's muscular contractions of the uterus that are involuntary. Feels great! :)

Post-partum.\n\nVisit doctor, she fix you.

They don't, the baby's lungs do net even develop fully nor are inflated until birth. The baby is encased in the uterus in amniotic fluid. The feotus is connected to the mother through the umbilical cord and both their respiratory and circulatory system are connected through a thin layer of membrane. This facilitates exchanges in nutrients, oxygen as well as carry away excretement and carbon dioxide via the mother. The first true breath a baby takes is at the moment of birth.

In human anatomy "anterior" pertains to the front of the body. \n\nThink of your uterus as a large hollow pear made of muscle. The pear is upside down (stalk down) in your pelvis. The side nearest your spine is called the posterior wall, the side next to your tummy muscles is called the anterior wall and the top of the uterus (or the bottom of the pear) is called the fundus.\nIn most pregnancies, the placenta is implanted on the back wall (posterior). In your case, it is situated on the front wall (anterior). This is unusual, but not unheard of. It is certainly nothing to worry about.\n\nWhen you go for your next antenatal check up, I would make sure you have a chat with your midwife or doctor. You can then ask them to explain the exact position of your placenta, and whether this might have any effect on your labour and delivery. \n\nDO NOT QUOTE ME ON THAT!

It is true,  in that when a woman has an orgasm her uterus and cervix contracts in a way that helps draw the sperm inwards. Those internal contractions last for while after the pleasure factor has gone away. I'm sure it does help those little guys make there way in :o)

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

The egg is fertilized in the Fallopian tube.

We have an instinct to protect the unborn.  That helps to insure the survival of the next generation and therefore the human race.  Even men and non-pregnant women protect the newborn.  People offer you seats, ask if you are eating the right foods, etc.

Giving birth to a healthy baby!!  Can't beat that!

From the time until just after your period, until your period, your uterus builds up the amount of tissue, so if you happen to get pregnant the uterus has a thicker  lining.  If you don't become pregnant, this extra tissue is not needed, so it is expelled by the body.
