Question

it kept opening it...is that bad? what does it intake the fluid in you?!

Answer 1

absolutely not! and how cute to see!  the baby can and does swallow your amniotic fluid and thats ok!  There are nutrients that will help him in the fluid so tell him to scream all he wants~!

Answer 2

Oh, how cute. That's normal! They are living in there, drinking, breathing it, however you want to look at it. They dont just hold their breath the whole time. My baby did that and it melted my heart! The best to see them doing things. Congrats!  

Answer 3

very normal... mine did too. hopefully yours is much like mine... get all of the screaming out in the womb and is a quite baby once born. My LO opened her mouth and ate her foot. As far as fluid intake that's ok... that is why some mothers have a birthing tub which is filled with water.. Because it won't hurt the child to breath in the fluid until after they are born.  

Answer 4

Totally normal, hon! :D Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. :)

Answer 5

haha it's normal for the baby to open it's mouth in the womb! No worries :D They "breathe" in the amniotic fluid, it helps build up their lungs.

Answer 6
