The organ where a pregnancy grows is the uterus.
The uterus, often referred to as the womb, is a hollow, pear-shaped organ situated in the lower abdomen of a female, between the bladder and the rectum. Its primary function is to house and nourish a developing fetus during pregnancy.
Here's a breakdown:
- Location: Lower abdomen, between the bladder and rectum.
- Shape: Pear-shaped.
- Function: To house and nourish a developing fetus during pregnancy.
- Process: After fertilization, the egg implants in the lining of the uterus, where it grows into a fetus.
- Menstruation: When pregnancy does not occur, the uterus sheds its lining during menstruation.
