I can't believe I got here before Webster 1913 ... someone call him/her/it in here!

in utero (adj or adv) Latin

in the uterus, before birth

PS: There is a theory I faintly recall that proposes that the stages of a fetal life up until and including birth could function as a metaphor for the historical process. Does anyone know anything about this?

PS2: maybe this should have been created as a place?
