The French phrase en ventre sa mere refers to a fetus in utero. It is commonly used in legal English.

A child which is still "en ventre sa mere" is accepted to be a minor, provided it is subsequently born alive.

The concept came about in legal language from Watt v. Rama (1972), where it was deemed that a fetus is a person entitled, once born, to compensation as a plaintiff for injury caused while en ventre sa mere.
