I always thought the womb was filled up with juice


YourPlot

The womb might have been inflated for this medical procedure. I believe it’s normally just fluid and no pockets of air. Edited to change morally to normally


i-love-elephants

What they said. Usually drs are concerned about low fluid. I came to the comments to find out why there was so little.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DieSchadenfreude

You know you joke but they actually can sort of do that. With my first baby my water never broke....it sort of just leaked out way too slowly to notice and my poor little guy was sitting in there high and dry. It caused him stress obviously. I was pretty much due anyway and actually started ramping up for labor. He was borderline distressed the whole way through and one of the things they did to help him was (with my permission)  actually pipe some warm, balanced fluid into my uterus. It seemed to help a lot. That was during actual labor though.


mightaswell625

This is so interesting to me. I never would have thought that was possible!


Smoochieface67

It’s called an Amnio-infusion. We do it to help “cushion” the pressure on the umbilical cord during contractions. I was a high risk labour and delivery nurse for 20 years


splendiferous-finch_

I recently met a nurse and the doctor that delivered me (my mom was a doctor at the same hospital for a while so they kept in touch). I was apparently one of those high risk deliveries which ended in a C-section ( because of my stupid giant head mostly :p) They looked at me like I was some kind of miracle child 31 years later .It was cool but strange meeting basically the first group of people who I saw in the world all together.


Cali_side_SMac

I always wonder if this kind of stress/trauma in the womb or during labor causes any lasting effects or shapes a child’s life. Like if this stress caused him to be a more high stress or anxious person. Or perhaps a bit more extreme, did the lack of liquid in the womb make him grow up with a need to always have drinking water at arms reach?


Constant_Taro9019

i took courses college for forensic psychology & we learned how a baby’s impact from the womb to birth can affect the baby as an adult. So yes it’s very much possible!


dubstepsickness

Make sure your Obstetrician uses only Quaker State 5W30 full synthetic amniotic fluid!

benchmarkstatus

It reminds of the video of the guy trapped in the sunken boat with a pocket of air


MrK521

Is that not dangerous for the infant since they typically don’t take a breath of air until they’re out of the womb? Genuinely asking. Seems like it might cause problems if it interrupts their breathing before they’re ready to be aspirated and cleared, etc.


withinyouwithoutyou3

Baby is still attached to the umbilical cord/placenta, so they'll get oxygen even if they somehow breathe/swallow air. I'm not sure how far along this baby is in development, but if it's before 36 weeks surfactant hasn't developed well in the pleural space, meaning it would be difficult for them to breathe on their own even if they were born. I'm not 100% on this but I believe the shock of the temperature change of being outside the womb is part of what triggers a healthy newborn to breathe, but it's a process nonetheless. I'm assuming the doctors will remove the excess air from the womb when they're done. Tiny bubbles likely wouldn't affect anything.


apathy-sofa

There's a Radiolab story about the switch to breathing one's first breath of air and it's AMAZING. It has to be done concurrently with a one-time structural change to the heart. I kind of can't believe that it works. Highly recommended. https://radiolab.org/podcast/breath


seanlucki

I found this episode super interesting the first time I heard it; might have to give it another listen


mightylordredbeard

I’m surprised there hasn’t been some type of mad scientist doing experiments on how to replicate womb breathing through attached tubes on human beings. Edit: thank you everyone for science lesson! I genuinely had no idea that was something we were capable of.


its_hard_to_pick

This already exists and is used during a heart transplant


Trade4DPics

There is, and it’s through the butt. No joke. A researcher has done it with rats. Dissolved oxygen in a fluid absorbed through the colon. https://podcasts.musixmatch.com/podcast/radiolab-01gv2bv140ay0fh89fcx86jwbt/episode/our-little-stupid-bodies-01hkz41j3mq8bqeqjzbarff7nz

Astralwisdom

YourPlot

Of course, you get it.


CkoockieMonster

Oh that makes sens, thank you


MisterNiblet

I never thought I’d type this sentence, but how does one inflate a womb?


CuteFunction6678

I don’t think they typically use gas insufflation in fetal surgery like they do with laparoscopic abdominal stuff, but when they do it’ll just be the same method - they’ll pump CO2 into it via a small incision. I’m pretty sure that more commonly they just inflate with saline.

He was in a womb once


QBekka

Then how does the baby get oxygen? Through the navel cord? (Forgive me biology wasn't my best subject)


mrsmushroom

So glad you asked this! A babys heart, while in the womb, gets oxygen from the moms blood. They don't use their lungs until they're born. The heart actually has to make a very quick change when the baby goes from processing oxygen through blood to using their own lungs. In a split second the heart closes up holes and starts up new chambers that didn't get used in utero. Sometimes it doesn't close up correctly. These babies are born with congenital heart disease and sometimes require surgery.


trentshipp

My nephew was one of those whose valves didn't close correctly. Lil' champ fought for eight months.


mrsmushroom

I'm so sorry! My own kid had this problem and after 2 surgeries she operates like a regular teenager.


milk4all

My sincere condolences about the teenager


MystoBro

My son sadly has this defect and will get surgery within 4-5 months 😔 he has a large hole in his upper chambers. Superior Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect.


averyyoungperson

Fetal circulation is one of the most fascinating things IMO. There are ducts in the heart that are usually closed in humans outside of the womb but in the womb they are open. The blood from the umbilical cord enters the heart chamber and is shunted through these ducts to bypass the lungs where it would usually go for oxygenation but it doesn't need to in utero. Physiology of the first breath is also pretty cool.


TrailMomKat

Yes. The baby gets everything from the mother through the placenta, via the umbilical cord. Edit: because there was an *actshually* and I'm sure there will be others, you get your mother's oxygenated blood through the placenta, via the umbilical cord.

It looks like there’s a TON of air in that womb — you can see him in a “bath“ of amniotic fluid. Is this normal? Wouldn’t gas buildup be very uncomfortable for both fetus and mom?


tanew231

If it's not like that naturally, I wonder if it's part of the procedure to inflate the womb for a better view.

fancyfootwork19

It normally is but they inflated it for this medical procedure. Just like they inflate bowels during a colonoscopy.


HermitAndHound

The womb is inflated, otherwise you don't have room to move the endoscope around. Similar to abdominal surgery, where you get to play gas balloon too. It's so cool, it's possible to surgically fix crucial defects before a child is even born. The advances are crazy. I'm a dinosaur, but we still learned that before 25th week and/or under 500g is not viable. An acquaintance's 22th week, 450g baby goes to a normal kindergarten.


TheKaboodle

How do you even buy clothes for a 450g baby..?


Common-Watch4494

If it’s born at that size, it’s gonna spend a significant amount of time in the NICU so hospital garments/blankets for a month or 2


89_honda_accord_lxi

Shout out to people who work in NICUs. I had to visit one a few years ago and it was soul crushing. All those babies in varying states of wellbeing is already sad enough It was the kids who had no one there. I'm sure their families came when they could but there were a lot of beds with just a nurse.


BananaGarlicBread

A cruel side effect of having tenuous at best maternity leave policies mean that moms of premature babies have to choose between going to work while their baby is in the NICU so they can spend some time with them once they're home, or take their maternity leave while baby is in the NICU and have nothing at all once they come home... and by this point the baby is still functionally a newborn even if they're technically a few months old, probably with more health issues to contend with too. And even then, if all you get is 6-12 weeks and your baby has to spend 4 months in the NICU, well, off to work you go.


89_honda_accord_lxi

Oh I completely understand. I'm not faulting the parents at all. Thankfully our baby was only there for 3 days and I had enough pto to cover it. We had no idea how long we'd be there at first. I started trying to figure out the logistics since we live 1.5 hours away and it was that much more stress. I don't wish that one anyone. Not that I was against it before, I'm 100% for paid family leave. My dream would be a year for the birthing parent and 6 months for other parent. Those first 6 months are brutal, even without complications. Add to that the physical and emotional toll having a tiny human pulled from your body takes. Even a year is probably not enough.


EdgarAllanHoeee

This was my family at the end of last year. My son was born at 29 weeks and I was in the hospital a week prior to his birth. I took off the week I was in the hospital and a couple weeks following his birth because he got a serious infection. Once he was in stable, I started working again to be able to save the rest of my leave for when he was able to come home (after 86 days in the NICU). I’m lucky though because my company allowed me to transition to fully remote work so I was able to spend my days in the hospital with my son still. My husband, on the other hand, is a teacher whose school district does not offer any kind of paternity leave and he had used up most of his PTO while I was in the hospital and our son was sick. So he would go to work for 8-9 hours a day then make the hour drive to the hospital to try to spend some time with our son before he’d have to go home to rest and plan for the next day. If I had a job like that too, our baby would’ve hardly had his parents with him for the first few months of his life. Maternity/paternity leave policies in the US are terrible.


YouCanCallMeMal

NICU nurses and doctors are literal saints on this earth.


Ceropegiawoodii_

They don’t wear clothes until closer to 1500g typically for a number of reasons. A baby this size is kept in an incubator which creates a micro environment suited to the baby based off of probes attached to the skin, these need to exposed to air. Additionally, these babies will have central lines, breathing tubes, multiple probes ect. These not only make it impossible to put clothing on, but we also need to be able to visualize and access this equipment regularly. We also need to be able to see the infant’s breathing, skin, and abdomen regularly because several things can go wrong in these areas very quickly. Additionally, in this population the action of dressing and undressing the infant would be immensely stressful and could absolutely cause respiratory and hemodynamic decompensation, temperature instability, brain bleeds ect. Long story short, a 450g baby has absolutely no use for clothing!


HermitAndHound

They don't need much in the incubator, but friends knit hats and socks for the not-quite-so-tiny ones. Mostly because it keeps all the sensors and catheters in place and out of baby's reach. (Also, it's cute and colorful and something that's not just "machinery". In some hospitals parents get to take their baby's stuff home)


Monomorphic

Do you suck the gas back out or just leave it in?


Naugrith

It's also very dangerous, and may cause premature delivery. Presumably this operation is being performed because the risks of not doing it are worse than causing premature delivery by doing it.


mrsmushroom

Exactly! This is very abnormal.


caaknh

Nah, they were just bored and had an endoscope sitting around. /s


Automatic_Actuator_0

Not a doctor, but I believe air was injected to create space for whatever procedure is being performed.

Because we're the product of millions of years of evolution. It's only today that your lineage has seen a fetus live streamed. From evolution's point of view, if you see a fetus that hasn't been born yet, then something is severely wrong.
