Fetus in the belly of the nutrient supply is mainly rely on the placenta and umbilical cord from the mother transported in, without the need for oral feeding to obtain nutrients.
The normal growth and development of the fetus in the mother’s stomach is mainly dependent on the mother’s continuous transportation of protein, amino acids and other nutrients, as well as potassium, sodium, calcium and oxygen through the placenta and umbilical cord, and at the same time, the fetus produces uric acid, creatinine, carbon dioxide and other waste products to be discharged from the body.
Therefore, the fetus can only obtain nutrients if the placenta and umbilical cord are functioning properly, and there is no need to obtain food through oral intake.
It is recommended that patients undergo regular obstetric examinations during pregnancy to monitor fetal growth and development, the presence of malformations, and once abnormalities are detected, prompt and regular treatment.
