What happens to the unborn baby's waste?

Question

I know this is a silly question,but it has to go potty,right? Does its waste get mixed with mine or does it build up until its born?

Answer 1

It travels through the umbillical cord into you, and you get rid of it.

Answer 2

GOOD QUESTION!!

well, you know that liquid that your baby is floating around in?!? that is his/her urine. and they recycle it. the drink it and re-pee it and drink it and re-pee it over and over and over.

as for number 2, well, that builds up in the baby's body and is passed out as meconium after the baby is born. meconium is the baby's first bowel movement and usually looks like sticky black tar, and is just as hard to get off their butt. lol...

Answer 3

From what i've read, It travels through the umbilical cord and your body expels it but, the       does wind up in the amniotic fluid but does not harm the baby they swallow it and digest it.

Answer 4

My son was born in his !!! .

If a baby is born in waste it is called , Maconiam (~Sorry spelling may be wrong ) .

It is more greeny thick substance and not al to nice , Maconiam is babys first passing .. Sometimes done in uterus or sometimes after delivery ... It is a h**l of alot better for baby if it is done after delivery , As maconiam likes to get stuck in babys lungs .

Often overdue babies pass meconiam before birth in there water ! . But suctioned out after birth by Dr and left happy and healthy . xxxx .

Answer 5

the baby does not p**p until after he/she is born, well usually anyway.

but baby pees and it's mixed with the amniotic fluid.

Answer 6

he/she will pee inside and it mixes with amniotic fluid, but he building up for his first bowel  movement which will happen after birth

Answer 7

An unborn baby can urinate inside the womb, and it gets mixed in with the amniotic fluid. An unborn baby doesn't p**p (normally, but I'll get to that in a second) in the womb, but he or she will have waste built up at birth. Sometimes, a fetus can p**p inside the womb and swallow it, making the baby very sick, and it requires medical attention, but the baby is okay probably 999 times out of 1,000.

Answer 8

it stays in the babies large bowl and will be their first "potty" when they are born. although some urine is excreted into the amniotic fluid.

Answer 9

Waste is transferred from the baby to the mother through the umbilical cord and placenta, so that the mother can remove it (but it's not "mixed"). This is the same way that babies receive oxygen and nutrients when in the womb.

Babies don't fully use some of their body's systems until after they're born (such as respiratory - babies don't "breathe" until after birth, even though they exercise their lungs).

Answer 11

It goes back into the amniotic fluid, that's all. It doesn't "mix" in with yours. Also, your baby shouldn't p**p in the womb and one only does when in fetal distress.
