If babies can breathe in water in your belly then why cant we breathe under water?
Babies don't breathe the water in the womb. Their mothers breathe for them, and supply them with oxygen through the umbilical cord. Babies don't start breathing until they are born. Humans, well no mammal can breathe water, because our lungs can't get any oxygen from it. Although they do the same job, gills work in a slightly different manner, which allows fish to get oxygen from the water the way we get it from the air.
If there is oxygen in water why can't we breathe underwater?
If you recall from basis chemistry, water is made up of 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen. The reason why we can't breathe underwater is because the oxygen molecule is already bound to the hydrogen molecules. Oxygen in this form is useless to our lungs. Our lungs can't extract oxygen from water
