Ultrasound has made it possible to see the fetus moving within the uterus and its beating heart, a few weeks before the mother can even feel a flutter. Throughout fetal development definite rest and wake cycles are present, and as the fetus grows it begins to move around more, swimming, kicking, and punching its way around in its amniotic fluid filled environment. Read full article on fetal development.
