The fetal liver is a vital organ in developing babies before birth. It plays a key role in producing blood cells, storing nutrients, and helping process and filter waste from the developing body. The liver also helps in producing important substances for growth and blood clotting. As the fetus grows, the liver gradually takes on more functions until the infant’s own organs are ready to do so after birth. It’s a crucial component of fetal development, supporting overall health and growth inside the womb.
