Medical Video: Here's When And Why The Baby Kicks In the Stomach ! Women Will Be Especially Interested In This !
The development and growth of the fetus in the mother's womb is certainly very important. That's why fetal development will always be monitored. However, besides its physical development, there is one more that you can monitor. Nothing but the activity or activity of the fetus while in the womb. Yes, your baby can move, you know. What are the fetal activities in the mother's womb? See below.
1. Sleep and wake up
At the beginning of pregnancy, the fetus in your womb is active like a newborn baby. Sleep fetus, move, listen to sounds, build thoughts and memories. However, indeed about 90% of baby activities are sleeping throughout the day.
Babies experience a deep sleep cycle, REM (Rapid Eye Movement) where babies can dream like adults, and sleep chickens (between waking up and sleeping).
Experts from Friedrich Schiller University in Germany conducted a study on sheep fetuses which had similarities in terms of size and weight with human fetuses. Researchers found that babies could enter dream sleep conditions for a week before the first REM was seen.
REM first seen at around 7 months of age. Cycle change between REM sleep with non-REM sleep in the brain takes place every 20 to 40 minutes. However, the function of sleep cycle it is still a debate among experts in the world.
2. Move and play
Your baby's first time do movement in the ninth week of pregnancy. At week 13 your baby can insert a thumb into his mouth even though the sucking muscle has not developed properly. The conscious muscle movement (which is intentional by the baby) first occurs around the 16th week.
The baby moves 50 times every hour. The baby moves the head, face, arms, touches one hand with the other or touches his foot in his hand. In the 37th week the baby has developed coordination of movement so that he can hold it with his finger.
Babies can also react to the mother's movements. On an ultrasound test, the baby looks up and down when his mother laughs. The baby will also move faster when his mother also laughs harder. In this way, the mother and father can also take the baby in the womb to play and joke together.
3. Hearing and learning
Babies begin to hear intact in the third trimester. However, several studies show that babies can also hear the earliest sounds at the age of 20 weeks and can surprised because of the loud noise at the age of 25 weeks. Very loud sounds that can change the heart rhythm can even cause the bladder to empty. So, be careful with surprising sounds, for example alarm sound or mother's mobile ringtone.
According to Robert Abrams, fetal physiologist from the University of Florida, the sounds from outside your body are indeed somewhat muffled, but still can be heard by the baby clearly.
Statement from WebMD This explains that low frequency sounds tend to be more audible than high frequencies. Male voice for example, it is clearer than women and more easily recognized by the baby.
In addition, babies in the womb can recognize patterns and voice intonation specifically even though they do not recognize the words. Some studies show that babies after birth will recognize and feel comfortable with a story that is repeated to them during the womb. Likewise with certain songs such as opening songs from TV shows that you regularly watch during pregnancy.
