What might babies experience in the womb?

The mother’s womb is a sensory playground for her baby. The fetus once reaches 23 weeks, responds to your voice and other sounds in the room, reacts to light and dark shadows as you move from place to place, tumbles as you switch positions, tastes sweet or spicy foods you've just eaten, may even respond to what she hears by moving around more, and It's through these experiences that your baby prepares for life after birth. Experts believe these experiences cause physiological changes in your fetus's sensory systems that are necessary for normal brain growth.

Womb Talk - What do babies experience in the womb

They are aware of noises inside the womb – your blood rushing, heart pumping, and digestion working as well as outside language. Your baby may start to recognize certain vowel sounds from your language after 32 weeks.

Memory

Babies can remember certain sounds from their mother’s language, also can remember certain music that is played to them while in the womb.

Sight

Vision is the last thing to develop in unborn babies. Up to 26 weeks of pregnancy the baby's eyes are completely closed because the retina is in continuous development phase. Around 28 weeks they get some sensation, if your tummy is exposed to high light babies immediately react with some moves inside.

Smell

The baby starts recognizing the smell after 28 weeks of gestation period when the nasal cavity becomes free from blockages. The amniotic fluid which flows through the baby’s oral and nasal cavities can trigger a sense of smell. Newborns are drawn to the scent of breast milk, although they’ve never been exposed to it before.

Touch

Babies like to sleep in the womb while their mother is awake because the movements make them sleep. When a hand is rubbed on the mother’s belly babies can move in response even at 14 weeks.

Taste

All the flavors from your diet are transmitted to your baby while in the womb, Your unborn baby may even get a taste for spicy food, sweet food, and can respond in its own way.

Ways to bond with your baby during pregnancy

• Knowing he or she can hear you, talk, and sing to your baby.
