Babies are busy in the womb and it’s amazing how busy they are! When you were pregnant, did you ever wonder what your baby was doing in the womb? Does your baby get bored? I can tell you, babies are busy.
Yes, they were already busy in the womb! So what are they doing? Let’s take a look^
1. They changed mom’s food tastes
If you had endless food cravings during pregnancy, your child is sure to become a food connoisseur too.
Because the nutrients of the food you eat will seep into your amniotic fluid, and the fetus will swallow the amniotic fluid at this time, tasting the nutrients of various foods all the time.
One study found that babies born to mothers who regularly ate carrots also enjoyed eating carrots.
2. How they react to stress
A study from Lancaster University in the UK reported that,
When the mother is anxious, the fetus will touch its face with its left hand.
This suggests that mothers\’ emotions may influence their movements in subtle and surprising ways.
This also shows that mothers should really try to relax as much as possible.
3. They change facial expressions
By looking at 4D scans of fetuses, Lancaster University scientists discovered:
By 24 weeks, unborn babies can achieve \”two-dimensional\” expressions such as smiling and curling their lips.
At 36 weeks, unborn babies can make more complex facial expressions, including frowning, wrinkling their noses, pouting and other \”distressed\” expressions.
4.They cry silently
In a study of videotaped fetal ultrasound exams in the third trimester, low-decibel noise directed at the mother\’s abdomen triggered traditional crying behavior.
Such as mouth opening, tongue pressing, and irregular breathing.
Researchers even noticed their lips trembled.
5. They can recognize who is reading this verse
In a study conducted at the University of Florida, researchers asked pregnant women to read classic poems,
Twice a day for several weeks.
A few weeks later, the effects of reading nursery rhymes to mothers and strangers were compared.
When the mother came to read a book, the fetal heart rate was significantly slower than that of a stranger.
This shows that the baby\’s thinking is \”Hey, who is this guy? I also like my mother to read books!\”
6. They can recognize songs
In another study conducted at the University of Helsinki,
When the mother was three months pregnant, she often played the song \”Little Star\” to her baby.
After the birth, they played \”Little Star\” again.
Computer data showed that babies were more active when they heard the song.
7. They look forward to being born
Dunham University researchers used 4D ultrasound to scan the trajectories of three pregnant fetuses.
The characteristics were discovered in the nine-month-old fetus, when it began to open its mouth and suck its thumb.
They put their hands together as if knocking on a door,
\”Hey, I\’m about to be born, open the door quickly!\”
