What a fascinating question! Just out of college, on my first job,
I was called to the delivery room to assist the obstetrician in
collecting a blood sample from the not-yet born fetus? scalp. I was
nearly immobilized at the sight of the impending birth. Ever since
that night, I have gotten goosebumps when witnessing a birth. It is
certainly an amazing event, and pondering the entire journey from
conception to birth is marvelous!
Some of the material I have found is published by religious, political
and anti-abotion sites. Neither Google Answers nor I endorse any of
these sites. Such web pages were cited here for conception and
gestation information, and not because of ideology.
