Does a fetus breathe when it's inside a womb?
I have a question. Does a fetus breathe when it's inside a womb?
No, a fetus doesn't breathe in the traditional sense while in the womb. It receives oxygen through the umbilical cord from the mother's placenta. The act of breathing only begins once the baby is born and takes in air through its lungs.
