Hai,
I am 18 months preg now. My last OB visit was 25 days before. Then everything was alright.
I understand that by this time the fetus's digestive system starts working.

My questions are:

1) How the fetus's rnine and stool is passed through mother's body?. Is it discharged along with mother's urine and stool?.
I noticed that,now a days my stool is blakish in colour, is it due to this?

2) How soon a mother can feel the movements of fetus?. I have not yet felt any movement of fetus. Is it a probelm?.

Thanks.
Sarah
