Universal Goodness : 23 It is unfortunate that most human beings tend to overlook these facts about life's limitations. The Four Necessities of Life As human beings, we suffer from hunger, thirst, the need to eliminate body waste since the time we are in our mother's womb. A fetus struggles and kicks when it feels hungry. As it grows bigger, it sometimes struggles or kicks so hard that its mother can see the shape of its protruding elbow or foot against her womb. She is then forced to eat or drink something quickly. It is known that a male fetus can kick much harder than a female fetus. It is interesting that a fetus will struggle and kick with precise timing because it gets hungry at pretty much the same time. Once the mother eats and the food she ate reaches the fetus through the umbilical cord, the fetus grows content and is then ready to fall asleep. A pregnant woman tends to feel so sleepy after lunch that she must take a nap. It is often advised that a pregnant woman takes a 30-minute rest after lunch to allow her body time to recharge. When a fetus wakes up, it is ready to eliminate its waste into its mother’s body. As pregnancy advances, the mother’s womb expands in order to accommodate the growing fetus. She will begin to suffer from back pain as a result of her protruding stomach. She will also experience leg cramps because calcium has been removed from her body in order to form the baby’s developing bones.
