when you get pregnant, and you don't get your period, is that because the baby is drinking the blood? im asking because i dont want to have a blood sucking mongrel in my stomach
The pregnancy hormone the woman's body secretes upon conception prevents the lining of the uterus from shedding. The pregnant woman will then not get her period. The baby lives in amniotic fluid and at six months the baby is drinking that for 'practice'. All nutrients are provided through the placenta and the umbilical cord.
