This was a very interesting video, it was a very interesting topic when I first saw it I skipped over it but then I realized I really want to know the answer to this question. So I watched the video and something I learned from this is, yes fetuses do pee and poop, I also learned that fetuses start to drink the fluid they are in after two short months, meaning they spend seven months drinking their own pee. Even though that sounds disgusting it really isn’t that bad because the urine is sterile, so it does not contain any bacteria that can hurt the fetus. Whenever the fetus has waste it needs to dispose of like excess Nitrogen, it goes back through the umbilical cord and the mother gets rid of it herself. I also learned that when the mother eats the potential poop products, it doesn't go to the fetus, the sugar and protein go to the fetus so they are getting all of the nutrients they need, but when the fetus does need to poop it goes into its small intestine. It creates this sticky green mass which is completely sterile. That green sticky mass ends up going into the baby’s first diaper. The significance of this video is, this is a very interesting question, and I bet a lot of mothers didn’t know that fetuses poop and pee while in their stomach. I think it's important to learn these things, because we were all once little fetuses and I think that a lot of people didn't know this. A question I have now is, what would happen if the fetuses pee and poop wasn’t sterile? The video I watched is down below.
