In the later part of pregnancy a baby will practise breathing in the womb to help the lungs develop, this is done in reverse, they breath in small amounts of amniotic fluid, not oxygen..

i believe (not sure) that there is some relationship between reverse breathing and the fact of the umbilical cord. I had thought that the reason for 'reverse breathing' was to 'breath in' through the umbilical cord (since obviously you cannot breathe through the mouth).
