Best Answer

The fetus is surrounded by amniotic fluid of its mother. It acquires the normal flora of its mother. After birth, the newborn begins to acquire its own "normal flora". Humans have normal flora on their skin and in every body throughout life; it is not completely washed away although it can be changed, reduced, or disrupted by medications or changes in Ph or by actions humans take during hygiene or sexual activities. Then micro-oganisms of the normal flora become pathogens that can cause infection.

When do you get your normal flora?

Normal flora is bacteria and yeast normally found on the skin and in every body orifice (or opening, such as the mouth, ears, rectum, vagina). A newborn carries the flora of his/her mother but soon develops his/her own flora. Flora is present on our bodies until we die. We can disrupt the balance of normal flora, such as when women douche too frequently, and thus the microorganisms begin to multiply and become pathogens.
