Medical Video: The Youngest Moms Of All Time
Did you know that the unborn child considers that your uterus is a "playground" sensory (related to sensory function) for him. At 10 weeks' gestation, your baby can move his legs (all of his legs from the groin down) And most amazingly, at the age of 23 weeks, the fetus can hear your voice or other sounds he hears from outside the uterus, even responding to what he hears by moving. Then, what should you do? Is this the right time to provide fetal stimulation?
The fetus can hear very clearly at the age of 20 weeks of pregnancy
According to a number of studies as reported by WebMD, you can help the development of the little brain in there by interacting, including talking and singing. Just by reading stories, playing music, or even just talking to the baby, you have taught him about the "learning process" and this can help the development of the fetal brain.
Actually, your baby's hearing function will be perfect only in the third trimester. However, according to research your unborn child can hear the sound since the age of pregnancy you step on 20 weeks. Even the fetus will be "shocked" when hearing a loud noise at the age of 25 weeks of pregnancy. Very loud sounds can cause changes in heart rate and baby's movements.
According to Robert Abrams, fetal physiologist at the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Florida said that although the sound from outside your body is slightly muffled, the fetus can still hear it very well.
According to Dr. Rene Van de Carr, an obstetrician in California said that doing fetal stimulation such as playing music to the fetus not only can improve brain development but also can increase the connection between nerves in the brain. However, it certainly will not affect the smart or not the little one later.
You can do it twice a day with a duration of five to ten minutes. Then, does it have to be classical music? According to Janet Dipietro, a psychologist who studies fetal development at Johns Hopkins University, you don't have to use classical music to do fetal stimulation. Better yet, you play diverse music on your little one. So, if you ask when I can do auditory stimulation in the fetus, you can do fetal stimulation such as playing music at the age of 20 or 25 weeks of pregnancy.
When can the fetus feel touch, smell, and taste?
Your baby can actually feel the touch at 9 weeks' gestation. The fetus will respond when your lips or the area around your mouth touch. According to Julie Mennella, a psychobiologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, the fetus can already feel the smell of food you eat in the fourth month of pregnancy through amniotic fluid. Through this fluid the baby can recognize your smell as his mother.
In the third trimester, babies can find out the taste of bitter, sweet and sour and if you are a fan of one of the flavors in food, this can affect the appetite of children later after birth and adulthood.
Several studies have shown that pregnant women who like a variety of foods, the more likely the child will love diverse foods. So, you can do fetal stimulation about taste and smell since the age of 9 weeks of pregnancy.
Movements made by the fetus while in the womb actually affect the emotional changes of your baby. Do you know why babies can be calmer when held and swung in your hand, than being left in bed? This actually happens naturally since he was in the womb.
This explains why he actively moves at night and is more quiet during the day when you are on the move because when you are actively moving, your child feels comfortable with the movements you are doing.
The fetus can also feel light stimulation at this gestational age
Your baby's vision will be perfectly close to the day of birth, but the process itself has been formed since the beginning of pregnancy. The eye bags will form in the five weeks of your pregnancy. In the fourth month of pregnancy, his eyes have formed. The fetus's eyelids will open at the seventh pregnancy, at that time your prospective child can open, close, or even roll his eyes. Stimulates the fetus by giving cbright light can penetrate the uterus and make your fetus more active.
