    The fluid surrounding the baby is actually flavored by the foods and beverages the mother has eaten in the last few hours.

    In an absolutely sterile environment this does make sense...I just hope no Bear Grylls memes will surface now.

    Babies kidneys don't work completely in the uterus, so their urine is pratically "pure water"; all metabolites and toxins go throug the placenta to the mother's bloodstream to get filtered by HER kidneys, which have to work double-time, along with most of her organs, while occupying a fraction of the normal space. Pregnancy is hard on the body.

    my sister ate her feces while in the uterus, so when she came out, they had to take her away for surgery.

    The amniotic fluid is constantly being replenished, it's not like it's full of pee.

    I didn't think this was a "Weird Pregnancy Fact" - I thought most people already knew this one.
