Being in the womb is an amazing place for a baby. You can explore your baby and the world they live in through touch. The walls of the womb are made of muscle, and with every movement, they respond with protection and comfort.
Like being in the birth canal, you must trust your instincts when exploring your baby. The head is too big to be able to fit into the body yet, so try pushing together the legs to see if they connect together.
The whole body may take up some space, so try pulling up the bottom of the legs to see if there is a foot or two of leg below.

Conceptual arguments
There are several conceptually argued positions regarding the start of human sexuality. These positions include the following: We begin as nonevil sex offenders in the womb, our sexuality is normal at birth, or we are homosexual but not until after birth.
The belief in the early days that people were evil sexual offenders in the womb is one of the more recent concepts. It was believed that this was what drew people to sex, and it was viewed as a way to avoid high sexual urges during times of pregnancy.
This belief is no longer held by most people, as it has been discovered that sexual urges do come in adulthood. Many people still believe that non-consenting men and women were born with strong desires for other people, and that they need to be influenced by someone else before they can control their actions.
Genetic sequencing
The term genetic sequencing was first used in 1985, when Dr. Francis Spparman, the developer of the first successful human gene therapy, spoke at the American College of Cardiology Foundation Conference on Heart Failure.
Since that time, the term has grown in popularity and has replaced earlier terms for gene therapy such as autologous repair or repurposed cell therapies. The use of genetic therapy has increased over the past few years due to increased discoverability of mutations in genes involved in Inherited Chronic Kidney Disease (ICKD).
Genetic testing can be difficult to do and is not recommended for most people without a strong family history of ICFD. However, if you do have ICD, then having a bit of extra DNA may help!
The way genetic sequencing works is that you take a series of samples from your body and tests them against various genomes to see if there is an individual mutation or variation in one or more genes. This method is called →genome-wide testing or genotyping.
Gonads
The sex cells that will become sperm and egg during a man’s or woman’s cycle are called gonads. When a baby is formed, the gonads enter the baby and begin to develop, creating both male and female genitals.
If you are a man, you have a Small testes that produce testosterone, which helps strengthen your male functions such as sexual desire, excitement, and performance. If you are a woman, you have an enlarged male reproductive system that includes testes and an ovary.
If you are having fertility issues, see your doctor to check if your infertility could be due to menopausal symptoms such as increased facial wrinkling or decreased hair growth.
Hormones
As mentioned earlier, eggs are a female’s primary source of nourishment. During ovulation, the body increases in size and production of certain hormones such as estrogen and progesterone increase.
These hormones make the body more sensitive to chemical signals from inside and outside the body, causing it to produce more of an estradiol (E) and progesterone (P) ratio in its cells. This is known as menopausal change.
Because menopausal change occurs roughly every 60–70 years, it is not commonly talked about; however, this period is very important to take care of. As women get older, their hormone levels decrease which can cause painful symptoms such as hot flashes and thinning hair.
To prevent or reverse these symptoms, menopausal start dates are common today.
Womb structure
At birth, infants are positioned in a close-up view of the world outside their tiny little bodies. Their heads are positioned over the axis of the world outside where they see in and around them.
Their hands and feet are observed walking along the axis of the world outside. The term axes refers to both sides of a body axis, or vertical dimension.
These babies are surrounded by confusion as to why they are inside and what is happening outside. The hardest part for these babies is when they start to crawl because then they can get out of bed and start moving around!
When these babies reach about six months, they start to explore their worlds outside.
Fetal testosterone level
There’s a term for a baby’s level of testosterone: prenatal testosterone level. Level 1 and level 2 babies have higher levels than level 3 or lower.
Level 3 babies have almost none of the sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that their baby needs to grow.
Most infants are level 1, but a few are level 2, indicating that their father had an early and active role in the baby’s development.
This is not true for all fathers, however; only if the baby does not develop enough during the first six to nine months after birth is there a need for extra testosterone in the infant.
If you have an infant, check to see if they are male or female by looking at their physical features and behavior. If they seem female, start prenatal therapy to increase growth and testosteronity.
Gender identity
One of the most important concepts we can talk about when it comes to our gender identity is gender identity. What is it? How do we determine it?
It’s important to understand the different ways people identify as both men and women, because it can make a difference in your life.
We all have different ways of thinking and navigating life that are specific to our genders. Some people feel more comfortable or more comfortable themselves in certain contexts than others.
Some people feel like they’re born into the wrong body and need to change how they function on the inside, like what happens with transgender people. Others don’t feel like they need to fix anything, and choose a name and a pronouns that reflect who they are.
We all have things we “know” us for, but when you talk to other people about you, you can find out things about you that might not match what you think you are.
Prenatal sex differentiation of the brain
Do we start as females in the womb? The answer is yes, if you’re lucky. Some women have male genitalia during their first few weeks of pregnancy. These women are referred to as male baby girls (MBG).
Male baby girls have a slight chance of having a female brain and a male torso during the early part of their pregnancy. This is due to genetic chance.
If you are a lucky male baby girl, your chances of having a female torso and brain are high. You can try your best to find out what kind of person you are by looking at your skeletal and physiological systems.
If you are a lucky male baby girl with female anatomy, you can try to find out what kind of sex you are through sexual orientation. If you were like the MBG, then this may help know what kind of surgery or treatment you need to improve your quality of life.
