"go to the bathroom"... ::)
honestly, is it an american thing, being this coy?Â
no, they don't defecate or urinate (i'm being nice and polite, please note). any waste products are passed through the umbilicial cord and across the placenta into the bloodstream, and form part of the mother's excretory products.

Actually, although the mother does process waste products through the placenta, babies do urinate in the womb after the first trimester and they swallow amniotic fluid, but they do not defecate unless they are in distress. Their poop is called meconium and if the amniotic fluid is stained yellow or green with meconium, that's bad, because the baby can aspirate the meconium into his lungs.

That is very interesting Callaway to know.
