Discover when (and what!) your baby will start hearing in the womb and enjoy acquainting your baby with your favourite music.
As well as the muted sounds of the outside world and your heartbeat, they'll also be able to hear any noises from your digestive system.
That's not to say your partner should feel left out though as your baby will be able to recognise other voices they hear often in utero so it's well worth encouraging them to talk, read and even sing to your bump.As your baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid , any sounds that they do hear is generally muffled, even when those little ears are fully developed.Whether it’s The Beatles, Beyonce or Bach, you can absolutely enjoy acquainting your baby with your favourite music.
"Your baby’s surrounded by fluid in your womb so sound vibrates through that," explains Denyse Kirkby, midwifery teacher and author of My Mini Midwife. "Now imagine how intense that’ll be if the music’s being played directly into your bump through a speaker." "Certain songs are described as anxiolytic, which basically means they have a pace and rhythm that helps settle your brainwaves into a relaxed state," says Denyse.by Marconi Union, which was developed by scientists with 60 beats per minute – the optimum for settling your mind.As well as mellow songs to chill you out, ones that get you up and moving are great, too – basically, anything you have a positive association with.
