Actually, my specialist said that babies can't pass gas in the womb. They've got meconium blocking their bowels til they are born. Burping... maybe? But, to quote my specialist: "There's not much room for gas in there..."
I learned that the meconium is produced by baby ingesting the lanugo that ends up in the amniotic fluid they swallow. So if that stuff doesn't shed off their bodies into the fluid til close to the end then maybe it could come out of both ends until then?
