Baby Model

One of the exhibits in the Human Biology section of the the Natural History Museum is this eight times lifesize model of a seven month old baby living with in its mother’s uterus. The baby will soon turn over so it’s head faces downwards ready for birth.

The sound of a mother’s heartbeat as heard from inside the uterus accompanied the display.

    I’m not big on Biology but I was struck with the phrase “will soon turn over so it’s head faces downwards ready for birth.” … the early step (process) of life is a wonderful thing.
