First they urinate into the amniotic fluid, and the first stool (miconium) appears in the GI tract only at 16 or 17 weeks after conception. A baby doesn't "take breath" until it is born. It doesn't "absorb food" until the placenta is formed, and begins to provide nutrients to the embryo, which happens around 12 weeks. Before that, the nutrients come from a yolk sac inside the gestational sac.

I think I stated before that I felt that in that situation the mothers physical health has to be the priority. I know that makes me a bit of a hypocrite, but what can you do?
