Within the mother's womb, life finds its first stirrings. The womb shelters the fetus, the growing child within. We recognize the existential traces of a wombed existence when a newborn calms in response to being held; when a newborn stills in response to his or her mother's heartbeat; and, when a newborn startles in the presence of bright light. Yet, how does experiential human life begin within another human being? What are the conditions and paths of becoming for the fetus within the womb? And for the child born early, what "womb" welcomes the premature child in neonatal intensive care?
在母亲的子宫里，生命开始有了最初的胎动。子宫庇护着胎儿，即子宫内正在成长的婴儿。当新生儿因被抱持而安静下来时；当新生儿因听到母亲的心跳而安静下来时；以及当新生儿在强光下受到惊吓时，我们便能识别出子宫内生存的存在痕迹。然而，人类的体验式生命是如何在另一个人体内开始的呢？子宫内胎儿的成长条件和路径是什么？对于早产的婴儿来说，新生儿重症监护室里有什么“子宫”迎接这个早产儿呢？
