healthy pregnancy

In this third month of pregnancy, so your baby can continue to grow and develop, he must have other “ability stock” besides the ability to breathe. Your fetus should be eating.

In order to perform this activity, your fetus’s mouth and lips should be able to do the sucking and swallowing movements. And, in this time of your pregnancy the two provisions are now supported by the digestive organs which started functioning digest food, then extract the starch. Digestive organs of the fetus have been able to sort out, where the substance to be absorbed and which are “junk” that should be discarded.

Approaching the end of the third month of pregnancy, the sense of taste of your fetus is working. Nerve cells around the mouth and lips started to feel the touch. The surface of the fetus’s tongue began to fill the nipples of taste which will help your baby to feel the delicious food for next time. Saliva glands in this third month of pregnancy also become active. Similarly, other digestive glands in the stomach. And in your baby’s kidneys mini, the screening process fluid and the formation of urine has also been initiated.

Every time your fetus sip fetal amniotic fluid, digestive system will immediately process it. Nutritional substances contained in amniotic fluid, especially in the form of sugar and salt will be absorbed. A small amount of other “solid food” will be stored in the gut.
While the “junk” substance that a liquid processed by the fetal kidneys into urine droplets are then removed from the fetus’s body. Urine is sterile in nature. therefore, urine fetus in the womb will not pollute the amniotic fluid.

One of the fetal organs which have evolved quite rapidly in the late first trimester is the diaphragm. The organs that limits the chest cavity and abdominal cavity is, together with the rib, in charge of helping the lungs to be able to function properly, which is breathing. Since entering the third month of pregnancy this has begun the task done. Regularly, the fetus’s diaphragm will inflate and deflate several times an hour.

While in the womb, amniotic fluid just inhaled into the lungs of fetus, then out again, along with the motion which carried by a diaphragm pump. Amniotic fluid is not dangerous, even on the contrary, assisting the process of development of fetus’s lung function. Order later to be able to function properly, the diaphragm also require “training”. The trick? By doing hiccups!

From a research proven, 3-month fetus can hiccup as much as 100 times an hour. One-time hiccups usually lasts a few minutes, then stopped, then started again. And so on, over and over again. Movement of the hiccups that strengthens the muscles in the various respiratory organs of the fetus.
