6 Amazing Videos Showing Babies Inside the Womb

Jan. 22, 2013 12:16pm Liz Klimas

Some find it fascinating. Others consider it unknown and slightly scary. And still others think of pregnancy and birth as all of the above as well as a fact of life that each and every one of us has been a part of in one way or another.

On this 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade, the pro-life movement it seems fitting to at least take a look at the mystery of human life.

Technology in recent years has improved imagery inside the womb and allowed for realistic animated visualizations to present various aspects of fetal development in a way that hasn’t been seen before.

We’ve pulled together videos showing different views and aspects of pregnancy and birth (nothing too graphic but it still might be consider so for some — consider yourself warned).

–

Here’s a TED talk from 2010 in which Alexander Tsiaras shows an amazing visualization of human development from conception to birth (Note: The visualization starts at 2:00):

This video shows MRI footage of twins sharing space inside the womb — even kicking each other a little bit:

Here’s an example to see what twin activity might look like on the outside, comically set to the Jaws soundtrack:

This time-lapsed visualization shows how the human face forms in the womb:

It’s a tiring life inside that womb. This video of a fetal yawn will show you:

They can get upset and cry in there too:

And just in case you fall into the camp where any sort of pregnancy video creeps you out, watch this old-school viral video of a baby laughing at paper being ripped to clear your mind:

Nothing will change in the hearts of individuals unless the evil heart is replaced with a Godly heart. This means having the seal of the LORD in your forehead. Evil cannot stay in the flesh body where the Holy Spirit resides. Both spirits cannot have the same host. One has to be replaced with the other. This is a no brainer to a christian because abortion is like Molech worship and their children were sacrificed to a false god. The LORD is against this. Just like he is against same sex unions or beastiality or any unnatural act. There is nothing new under the sun. It is all written to us in a letter from our Father in a book called the Bible. Thru his son Jesus Christ we are given power over all our enemies just believe in him. If an unbeliever would ask me about these social issues I would say that I follow my LORD’s laws and statues to have peace in my life. But he gives you the individual the God given freedom to accept him or reject him so choose accordingly. Does that mean you cannot have a change of heart? NO. It means the LORD is your judge not me and a true change of heart is always acceptable. He loves his children but he isn’t a push over and doesn’t love those that don’t love him.
The LORD your God is a consuming fire and will warm your life or will burn up the rudiments in the end times. Make no mistake we are in the generation of the fig tree. And he has told us all things.
Therefore be a good watchman.

God’s little miracles.
God knew us, even before he placed us in our Mother’s womb.

  “God’s little miracles.”
  It’s the result of sex. There is nothing miraculous about sex. Unless you’re ugly.
  
  “God knew us, even before he placed us in our Mother’s womb.”
  God must also know all the naturally occurring miscarriages as well. About 10 to 20 percent of “known” pregnancies end in miscarriage. If your god cared about a zygote, embryo, fetus, or baby he wouldn’t have ordered the Israelites to slay Amalekite infants (1 Samuel 15:3). And that was not the only atrocity your god commanded or committed.

A woman has a right to do what she wants with here own body. How can a baby have a different blood type than the mother? How can a boy baby be part be part of the mother? How can a baby have a different heart rate than the mother? None of this would be possible if this was her body. She is sacrificing her baby to the god of self.

Had to comment to searcher619- I imagine that you are very thankful that your mother didn’t think of you as “just a fetus”! Clearly her wisdom did not genetically transfer to her child . . . just sayin’.

  Do you feel the same about the innocent children who get cancer from toxins in the air and water. Do you feel the same about the innocent children killed from drone strikes and other acts of war? How is it a war on women when it is THEIR reproductive choice. One of many choices. Most are intelligent enough to consider all choices and make the decision that is best for them. Whether it is best for you, your beliefs or your ideology is of no consequence.

  A Mother’s womb should be the safest place on Earth, but now days, has become a death chamber for innocent babies.
  
  I have no objection to women using birth control to prevent pregnancy, but abortion is murder.
  
  Abstinence and how to properly use birth control should be taught. Abortion clinics should be defunded. I do not want my tax dollars being used to kill babies.

I miss being pregnant. I loved feeling my babies moving around in there. When I was carrying my twins, it felt really weird and it looked even stranger seeing their movements along my tummy. When I was carrying my last one, he moved around so much it almost felt like I was carrying twins again. :)

How anyone can deny that an unborn baby is a living human being is beyond me. You have to be a special kind of heartless monster to believe that. I guess Sandy Hook upsets the libs so much because Adam Lanza didn’t kill those children utilizing the liberal-approved method of murder: abortion.

  WHAT IS THIS SUPPOSE TO PROVE TO LIBERALS?
  
  Abortion and post birth killing of unwanted babies is legal and desirable. I do not understand why dead babies do not have some cosmetic use like skin or hand cream. The Nazis used the skin of the dead to make lamp shades.
  
  An unborn Polar Bear has more appeal to Liberals than a human unborn baby.
  
  Secession would be one way to end baby killing in the new nation. This is something to fight for.

  A fetus is not a child. It’s a fetus. Why do you religious types love to claim knowledge you really don’t have? If SCIENCE can’t tell us at what point a fetus becomes an individual(person) how do you think you can?

  “A fetus is not a child. It’s a fetus.”
  
  See, dehumanization. A necessary step to facilitate the killing of other human beings. Stabbing a child in the womb in the head with a fork and then sucking them out with a vacuum cleaner would be monstrous in any sane world, unless you dehumanize the child into a mass of extemporaneous tissue or an inconvenient parasite.

  ‘Science and Abortion: The Scientific Basis for a Prolife Position’
  
  http://www.godandscience.org/doctrine/scienceabortion.html
  
  “(…) Contrary to what many non-scientists believe, human beings are not constructed in the womb – they develop. In fact, all the major organ systems are initiated within the first few weeks after conception. The process of embryonic development is a continuous process, with no obvious point at which the fetus magically becomes a “person.” (…)
  
  What are the stages in human embryonic development? Science tells us that the heart of the human fetus begins to form 18 days after conception. There is a measurable heart beat 21-24 days after conception. This is only 7-10 days after a women would expect to begin her menses. Since most women have cycles that can vary by this amount, they do not discover they are pregnant until after this point. Therefore, all abortions stop a beating heart, even “early” abortions. However, most abortions do not occur until 4-6 weeks after the fetus begins to form. The human brain begins to form on day 23 is formed enough to produce brain waves by 6 weeks, which means that most abortions destroy a functioning human brain. (…)

  searcher619 You keep telling yourself those lies. A baby is a baby whether it is in a womb or outside a womb. A fetus is a baby whether you like it or not. It is living inside a woman’s body, it is getting the nourishment from the mother. It is alive – If you abort the baby – YOU KILL IT YOU ARE A MURDERER.
  
  The reason you claim a fetus is not a baby is to ease your conscience that you are indeed killing a baby and don’t want to be a MURDERER. As some poster said as soon as you dehumanize a fetus in the womb, killing them is of no consequence. YOU ARE JUST LIKE HITLER.
  
  What if I claimed you were not human for you views, do I have a right to kill you then?

  They must dehumanize them before they can kill them. It is a tactic used in every war to condition the soldiers to the concept of killing. The Japanese during WWII portrayed the occidentals as evil spirits, and demonic monsters, animals to be disposed of. Likewise the US put out propaganda that the Japanese we monkeys, cruel and inhuman rabid animals. With abortion they retrain young women to think of unborn children as fetuses, or parasitic tissue, an obstacle in the way of the liberation of woman kind. Ultimately their ideal is to destroy family, and the health and psychology of women. Very little is talked of the psychological, and physiological trauma visited on women during and after an abortion. They want you to think of it as nothing more serious as having your teeth cleaned at the dentist. It’s monstrous in any objective sense, something out of a dystopian post apocalyptic science fiction nightmare.

I certainly did not need these videos to know that it is a real human baby growing in a womb.It is not a clump of cells, not a dog, not a giraffe, not a monkey. It is a human being. This is what you are killing as you travel to your nearest abortionist to get rid of your inconvenient pregnancy. I hate abortion/murder, hate it.

One of the greatest sins against God that America ever committed was the passage of Roe vs Wade and the acceptance of this horrendous act in our once great country.

  Frankly, a woman that gets an abortion, other than for lifesaving reasons, is fundamentally unfit to ever be a mother, (unless her heart sees the betrayal, is grief stricken and realizes the depth of what she has done, then it’s possible she will be better than average) . Motherhood means sacrifice and devotion to that which she helped create. What a massive fail and BETRAYAL is abortion. What we have lost in this country (and the world) is reverence for life itself. (Remember the good old days when we used to condemn China for what we ourselves are doing today?) Without that reverence, anybody becomes expendable for whatever reason another person with the power chooses. And so it goes, declarations of commitment, vows, are meaningless. Lies are how life is conducted. What you are told bears no relevance to what is. Welcome to Obamacare, our government, our society and our brave new world.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama and those who are pro-death would want to ban such videos because one cannot deny that those are lives inside these wombs. After all is said and done, abortion is taking this wonderful, blood-pumping, cells multiplying and growing thing we call life—life that reacts to outside stimuli—and terminating it. Anyone who has searched the depths of their soul and is honest about it cannot deny that fact.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand
