Can a baby pee while your pregnant?

Answer 1

Yes! The baby starts "peeing" or urinating months before birth. He will be swallowing amniotic fluid and it will pass thru his body just like drinking a glass of water passes thru your body. The womb, placenta and umbilical cord are an amazing and complicated system that fully supports all your babies needs before birth. Providing oxygen, nutrition and even a filtering system to keep it clean in there.

If he happens to pee at the time you are having an ultrasound, the doctor or technician will be able to see the movement of fluid on the screen.

Your baby will also do something called practice breathing in the womb. That is why some babies need to be suctioned after birth and especially following a c/section where his body wasn't gently squeezed by the contractions of the uterus during birth.
