Full term foetus, illustration. The foetus is in the birth position, with its head resting at the top of the birth canal (vagina). Foetuses usually assume this position from around the eighth month of pregnancy. The foetus is floating in amniotic fluid within the amniotic sac. It is attached to the placenta (right) by its umbilical cord, through which it receives nutrients and where blood gases are exchanged. | |
