How often do you see something that you know will be lasting - TopicsExpress



          

How often do you see something that you know will be lasting another 80 years? The video I posted today was taken last week and shows a 36 week fetal ultrasound. First I show the head then I move to the beating heart. A baby born today will live an average of 79 years. It never stops being amazing to me that we can see something this early that could work for 80 years without any mistakes. You may also notice the ribs moving back and forth. This is called fetal breathing. The baby is actually in water and getting oxygen from the umbilical cord but the muscles needed for breathing must be ready to work at birth and during the pregnancy this muscle group frequently practices for the first breath. Enjoy the wonder of nature, it is all around us. Have a great weekend.
