The mystery of fetal life...

After reading this article I was amazed on how clever we are as fetuses in the womb. We are able to hear, taste, smell, feel, and have rapid eye movement. This shocked me because after all this time I never would of thought that so much could be going on for something so little. Fetuses have to fight to survive just as well as a grown adult would strive to survive. For example, twins have to fight over nutrients that are consumed by the mother. That's why some twins have a difference in height or weight. It was also intriguing that having a few alcoholic beverages has no known affect on new born babies. Having a glass on occasion is alright, but to consume six alcoholic drinks a day is ridiculous as I learned that some parents do from this article. Too learn so much from this article that had just a little information about the fetus was fascinating because of what all that there is to learn about what goes on in the womb.
