Baby kicks: fetal movements build healthy bones

Babies’ movements in the womb are essential for healthy formation of the bones and spine. When a baby cannot move normally in the womb, the growth and development of the skeleton can be seriously compromised, ultimately affecting health in childhood and in adult life. Dr Nowlan will discuss the importance of fetal kicks for the development of the bones and spine, describing how conditions such as dislocated hip joints and scoliosis can result from reduced movements in the womb, and what we may be able to do to prevent these conditions.
