I still dont understand how a baby/fetus in the womb is "reverse breathing".
The mothers blood supplys all oxygen and nutrients to the baby/fetus ergo the baby/fetus is not forward, or reverse{ embryo } breathing. imho
IN-spiriation is the first IN-halation of air into the lungs and occurs when baby is outside of the mothers womb. This is the reason for the bulb syringe to clear babies nose of fluids so fluids are not inhaled into lungs.
Bulb syringe and blanket critical items for newborn to survive outside of the womb. I was taught this in EMT class many years ago.

Taoist are not referring to breathing oxygen but ' Chi '.
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..
