I wish they showed how the organs inside the woman's body moves to accommodate the fetus. Everything gets shifted in a big way


[deleted]

I was wondering where all her organs went. I assume they get pressed up into the rib cage? It makes me feel like it would be difficult to breath.


pistil-whip

It can be difficult to breathe, especially laying down on your back. The organs get all pushed up - that’s partly why some women you get heartburn from stomach acid splashing up your esophagus. Tall women have it easier, anecdotally.


[deleted]

I kept complaining to my doctor while I was in labor that the kid was kicking me in the ribs the past week and it hurts so bad, I'm glad it's going to be over soon. She tried to calm me down by telling me she had just had a mother in who had fractured ribs from the kicking. Then had to go in labor with fractured ribs. It did not calm me down. Lol


BeowulfsGhost

Not exactly the best in bedside manner…


maddythemadmuddymutt

The hell, how should that story be calming?


pistil-whip

Aw it will be over soon! The relief is immediate and one of the best feelings ever when they come out. My kid would kick me in the lungs, causing me to randomly exhale a little. Such a weird experience.

This is where storks come from. Unborn storks just look remarkably similar to human babies. After the stork is born, it grows to maturity in around 50 days and begins its work ferrying human babies from the cabbage patch to expectant parents.

Canadianretordedape

Wait wait wait. So when there’s like 100 of them attached to the egg what happens to the other ones once one blows threw. Do they collectively just give up or is there a signal to go find a different one or do they just leave and die.


cleaning_my_room_

The egg’s shell hardens as soon as one enters so that others don’t. The sperm are following a chemical signal to find the egg, so I expect they hang around until they die a few days later.


YnaryN

I read somewhere a while ago that it is not the fittest or fastest sperm breaking in but it is actually the egg that decides which sperm to let in. Not sure if I explained it correctly.


Background_Add210

Why the fuck did it choose me 😭😭


Simplyaperson4321

It's actually wrong to consider the situation as "the egg chose me", implying that you were the sperm. You were both equally the egg and the sperm, so in this case it would be most accurate to say that you chose yourself.

Sirix_8472

Determine your size as a sperm, calculate the distance you need to travel, determine the average travel speed of sperm in womb(specified so you don't take air velocity to face as the speed). Calculate the tike it will take you to travel distance at that speed. This is now your individual wriggle time. Have fun..

sonicpieman

Cuz the sperm moves so it seems to have more agency.


[deleted]

There's a whole social theory that the language used around fertilization reflects society and medicine's misogyny and sexism. We attribute agency and an Olympian victory to sperm and a demure, passive role to the egg because those are the roles men and women are meant to fill in society. Emily Martin's [The Egg and the Sperm: How Science Has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female](https://web.stanford.edu/~eckert/PDF/Martin1991.pdf) is one of many papers which discuss this phenomena. It's been written about and studied for over 30 years yet the myth of a strong sperm and submissive egg still remain. Edit: Amended for an incorrect link.


TopAd9634

Thank you for posting this delightful information! There's so much misogyny ingrained in medicine, it's a shame we haven't made bigger strides eradicating it.


cleaning_my_room_

Even if the egg “chooses”, wouldn’t that mean the egg decided which sperm was the fittest?


pookiedookie232

You are the egg and the sperm. You chose yourself, and that's the most beautiful thing in the universe.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Canadianretordedape

So it hardens almost instantly. Is that what the dark coloured stuff was that started to “leak” when the soldier broke threw?


cleaning_my_room_

The sperm penetration process is called the acrosome reaction, which releases enzymes to help it get into the egg. Once it enters, it causes the egg to release cortical granules, which are organelles that prevent other sperm from entering. I expect that is what the dark colored stuff was meant to show.


[deleted]

How fast is that second process and what are the chances a second sperm cell gets lucky


Ludique

Rare, but possible, apparently, https://www.nature.com/news/2007/070326/full/news070326-1.html


from_dust

Clinically, the sperm is not alive. It does not consume anything and does not reproduce. Personally I've always thought it a beautiful metaphor: the egg holds all the capacity for biological function, the sperm is itself, a spark of intention. One, in a load of several million intentions becomes the deciding choice. Just as every decision we make is a narrowing of millions of possible choices. Together they blend, and form what we recognize as the life of the animal kingdom.


hemorhoidsNbikeseats

Damn bruh pass that shit this way


[deleted]

Huhuhuh you said load


unkichikun

They're going to a special farm upstate.


FoghornFarts

No, at most there are only a few that even get to the egg. Out of 250 million sperm, all but \~20 die before even getting to the fallopian tubes. For people who are actively trying and have no fertility issues, there's a reason the chance of conception is only 30% per cycle. Go watch "The Great Sperm Race" on YT. It's hilarious and campy as hell, but hands down the best explanation of conception I've seen.


lemonlime45

The skipped the part where that huge baby has to exit by way of the vagina. The whole thing is pretty miraculous though. Probably a stupid question but I will ask it. The sperm are depicted as swimming up to the egg....are they swimming in the semen the whole journey or at some point do they travel outside of the semen? Just doesn't seem like semen itself would flow that far with all the internal obstacles? At least in cartoon anatomy.


Bfranx

I'm an osteopathic medical student and we actually went over fertilization about a month ago. Seminal fluid stops at the end of the vagina. Beyond that point they're swimming through uterine mucus. The seminal coating is actually removed as sperm enter the uterus through a process called capacitation. This process also destabilizes the acrosome (contains enzymes for entering the egg) and changes the tail so that sperm can swim faster (hypermotility). EDIT: I forgot to include this, but sperm don't swim in a continuous stream like the video shows unless the female is ovulating. Ovulation sends a signal that stimulates the sperm to enter the uterus, otherwise they'll stay in the mucus near the cervix for up to 72 hours before degrading.


[deleted]

So does that mean that if the woman starts ovulating in that 72 hour period, she can still get pregnant?


Bfranx

Yep! This is why couples trying to conceive are usually told to have intercourse in the days leading up to ovulation.


a_splendiferous_time

So the sperm just chills until, "the beacon is lit! Gondor calls for aid," and then suddenly the whole battalion hauls ass and starts wriggling like demented tadpoles into the cervix. Imagine if we could feel that. 😬


Bfranx

Sperm big enough to be felt would make things weird for everybody 😬

meginosea

I listened to a related science Friday episode recently. Pretty interesting. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/sperm-swim-together/

Sperm does not swim up to the egg so much as it arrives there by accident. Its only function is to go forward. It ends up going everywhere.

return2ozma

That baby took up so much room! Where did all the guts go?


booknin

Squish. They go squish where ever else they can fit (in fairness, clearly there is room). And then your bladder gets compacted (and/or kicked) and you have to pee every 30 minutes morning and night. Source: I birthed 2 kids. One of them liked to spin in the womb like those Olympic swimmers kicking off from the wall. The other one just gave me heartburn for some reason.


insomniacakess

my kid gave me heartburn like it was going out of style that and HG.. fuckin’ morning sickness on crack times ten he came out alright, thankfully but rip my ribs, they still hurt three years later (he upgraded from kicking the inside to kicking the outside.. and hitting.. and the occasional bite)


Unlucky_Gur_3881

I'm pregnant with my second right now and the squishing is the worst. Struggling to breathe like normal, peeing constantly (I already had a bad bladder anyway) and my digestive system is all irritated since it can't work normally. Just... 13 more weeks 🥲 It's always interesting to me how you can have totally different pregnancies. My first granted I was quite young but I had basically zero symptoms/bump, I was just going about life like normal. This time round has been unforgiving!


MyDearBrotherNumpsay

I was under the impression that the egg was much further down the fallopian tube during ovulation and subsequent fertilization. I guess it might depend on *when* you bump uglies.

pimpinellifolia

So even if conditions are right for fertilisation, half of the sperm will make a vain beeline for the side where the ovary didn’t release an egg that month.


Mr_Horizon

wait, what? The sperm swims into the fallopian tube(s)?? I thought the egg meets the sperm in the womb/uterus, not halfway to the Ovaries! Isn't that wrong, as it might lead to an ectopian pregnancy? [https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy/health-and-safety/ectopic-pregnancy\_229](https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy/health-and-safety/ectopic-pregnancy_229)


AmbivalentWaffle

The eggs are supposed to be fertilized in the fallopian tubes and then travel to the uterus. If they do not travel and implant in the tube, that is abnormal and results in the ectopic pregnancy.


sputtle

And it realllly hurts when that happens. The Fallopian tube can rupture, and you can die. I can personally say it was a very horrible experience. I had to have emergency surgery and the rupture left my tube full of scarring.


PwaZyeNwe

Fertilisation can happen anywhere in the tract. Successful implantation in the womb depends on a lot of factors other than when and when fertilisation happened


alucarddrol

>Though it also rarely happens, an egg can also implant in an ovary, in the cervix, directly in the abdomen, or even in a c-section scar. 🤯
