What is "womb"?
The womb, also known as the uterus, is a muscular organ located in the female pelvis where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus during pregnancy. It has a lining called the endometrium that thickens and sheds in each menstrual cycle if pregnancy does not occur. The womb is designed to support the growth of a developing fetus, with its muscular walls capable of contracting during labor to facilitate childbirth.
Example
The surrogate mother carried the couple's embryo in her womb, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their child.
The doctor performed an ultrasound to monitor the growth and development of the baby in the womb.
The fetus nestled snugly within the safety of the womb, protected and nourished by the mother's body.
The mother sang lullabies to her unborn child, hoping to soothe and comfort them within the womb.
She felt a sense of awe as she watched the ultrasound images of her baby moving within her womb.
