Just wondering

[MissJass]

At how many weeks or months do the baby start eating things you eat I'm 7 weeks will be 2 months tomorrow

I'm a second time mom and didn't know the exact answer to this either. Not a stupid question at all, we've got more stupid questions on here like "am I pregnant?". Not everyone knows everything about pregnancy and babies.

First time mom, forth time mom. Everyone has questions or concerns. I'm a first time mom my son is six weeks and I still have questions that might seem like "common sense"

But rock rose explained it dead on!

I'm not going to lie... some questions on here aren't the greatest questions. But this is definitely not one of them.

Thank you

This is actually a more complicated question than I had thought at first.

At conception,  the egg gets fertilized.  And then,  it attaches to the uterine wall and a yolk sac is formed around the baby (i guess derived from the uterine wall lining nutrients).  That feeds the baby for the first 4 weeks,  after which the placenta that is attached to the uterine wall takes over and the baby is fed at that point from the placenta instead of the sac created at implantation.

NewMommy,  where on this site did you read it was at 20 weeks?

The link I found won't post,  but I googled "when does baby receive nutrition from placenta or yolk sac".

It's kinda common sense. I'm also a ftm. Anyway I hope u have a good pregnancy and healthy baby good luck

[MissJass]

There's no such thing as a dumb question if you don't know I'm a first time mom I didn't know but thanks anyway

[lacretamia21]

Lmao where do u think the baby gets his/her nutrients from? I mean... kinda dumb q

[NewMommyBri]

The app tells you but appx 20 weeks they start to get nourish from the sac

[MissJass]

Oh Wow I Didn't Know That Thanks.!

The baby gets nourishment from what you eat from the moment it's inplanted in your uterine wall,  about 4 days after the egg is fertilized.
