You had a lot of growing to do before you were ready to be born. The egg and the sperm that had joined together needed a safe, warm place in which to grow. That place was inside your mother‘s body.
As you grew, parts of your mother’s body became larger to make a room for you. You were safe and warm there, and you were fed through a cord called and umbilical cord.
The umbilical cord joined you to your mother. Blood flowed through the cord. The blood carried nutrients from your mother’s body to your body. The place where cord was attached to your body is now your navel, or bellybutton.
As you grew, you begin to move around. You moved your arms. You kicked your legs. Your mother could feel you moving and growing larger. For about nine months, you grew and changed shape. Then you were ready to come into the world.
