Surprising Things Babies Do In The Womb

- They react to stress : Studies reveal that the more anxious the mom is, the more the fetuses use their left hand to touch their face. This suggests that a mom emotions might impact their movements in subtle and surprising ways. It also suggests moms should really relax.
- They practise facial Expressions :  By 24 weeks,Unborn babies could achieve two dimensional facial expressions such as curling of the mouth. By 36 weeks, unborn babies could achieve more complex facial expressions including pain through lowered eyebrows, wrinkled nose and stretched mouth.
- They Cry
- They recognize nursery Rhymes
- They also recognize songs : Researchers played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over during the moms third trimester. After birth, they played the song again. EEG reaadings via electrodeson the infants head showed greater brain activity for infants who did heard the song  in utero than for those who hadnt. This suggest they could know the tune.
- They anticipate Touch
- They develop tastes for certain foods: Foods that pregnant women eat seep into the amniotic fluid which the fetus gulps down and can taste : One study found out that moms who ate carrot gave birth to babies who love carrots more than babies who didnt get this vegetable much. No wonder I Like Sharwama seems my mom ate  a lot of sharwama.
