The fetus bowl goes through the belly button of the fetus. It has a long connecting tube that is attached to a bag called the placenta (after birth).Once the child is born, the tube is cut and it forms the new belly button on the child.

I'm assuming that you mean "bowel". In which case, the answer is that babies don't have a bowel movement until either just prior to birth, or just after. The substance is called meconium, and if the baby relieves itself prior to birth it can be dangerous as it can clog the baby's lungs when they are still encased in amniotic fluid.

gastroshesesis...SPELLING not sure of. I am getting information from my daughter from many states away and sometimes not understanding about the babies bowel is outside of the belly? I do know that. Wondering where the cord is? There seems to be the intestines but no cord. She didn't think to ask the doctor today about that. Can you explain to me how the cord and the intestines work together? Thank you, Sorry I am so uneducated about this! Vicky ( new grandma !)

Indeed, babies have no bowel movements until after or prior to birth. The wastes in the baby's blood are transfered through the imbilical cord to the mother's bloodstream, and leave through the mother.
