- Synopsis
- This image shows a section through a uterus with a baby nearly ready for birth. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. A fallopian tube joins the uterus in the top left and right of the image. Between them the placenta can be found embedded in the placenta wall. From the centre of the placenta the umbilical cord goes down and right to the abdomen of the baby. The baby is curled up into a tight ball, the tightly crossed legs are towards the top of the image and the legs obscure the umbilical cord for a short distance. The cord reappears to the right of the baby. The baby's head is towards the bottom of the image. The arms are tightly crossed as well, so where the umbilical cord enters the abdomen cannot be found. The head is facing right so only one ear can be found. The head is next to the cervix ready for a normal head-first birth.
