Amazing footage of what babies actually do in the womb is leaving people stunned

After a video circulated on the internet showing what babies do inside of the womb, people have been left amazed.

We all know that babies move around in there, and sometimes you can even see it if you look close enough, but what they are doing is often a mystery.

Thankfully, a video shows exactly what’s going on and it’s insane.

When we think of a fetus, we usually picture something weak and tiny, certainly not something that bounces around like a hyper gymnast.

But that’s what apparently happens in utero.

The video, which was posted to X, formerly Twitter, showed the various movements of what a fetus does in the womb, which includes drinking the amniotic fluid, yawning, crying, urinating, jumping, sliding and kicking.

There was also a section which saw a baby ‘digging’ into the uterus…

While some of the movements are slow and cute, there are others look like they could hurt themselves from the sheer power of the fast movements.

At one point in the clip, an unborn baby can be seen jumping from one end of the womb to the other, headfirst.

Viewers were stunned and commented their thoughts.

One person wrote: “DIGGING UTERUS WHAT.”

Someone else said: “Dude wanted to come out before his time.”

Another said: “The lil homies are really wilding in there.”

If you’ve never had a tiny foot, literally come out from behind your belly button, you’re missing out on a world of pain.

There is a reason they move so much and like this, and it's amazing.

According to a study in Scientific Reports, kicking helps a fetus to ‘map’ their body and to explore the environment.

The researchers figured this out by examining 19 newborns between 31 and 42 weeks who had been born.

They discovered that the infants ‘corrected gestational age’, which meant that if a baby was born at 35 weeks and was 1-week-old at the time of the exam, their movements would mimic that of an in-utero 36-week gestational fetus.

From the results, they also found that any fetal kicks in the third trimester could help them to develop brain areas which are related to sensory input, something that could help them to form a sense of their own body.

Lorenzo Fabrizi, PhD, the lead researcher said in a statement: “Spontaneous movement and consequent feedback from the environment during the early developmental period are known to be necessary for proper brain mapping in animals, such as rats. Here we showed that this may be true in humans too.”

If you don’t feel all of the movements the video listed, it could all depend on what your baby is doing and which stage of growth and development they are at.

Or, maybe your baby isn’t as active, and prefers to roll around as opposed to kicking your ribcage.

You might start to feel your baby at 15 weeks gestation which could feel like flutters, swishes, rolling and tiny little kicks.

Then, you’ll find that as it grows, you’ll be able to pinpoint whether they are kicking, elbowing or rolling.
