Medical Video: Does Music Affect A Fetus?
Do you like listening to rock music while pregnant? Because you are a fan of rock music or other loud genre music, you become accustomed to listening to the music even though you are pregnant. But, is listening to rock music during pregnancy possible? Will there be any adverse effects when listening to it during pregnancy?
Can you listen to rock music while pregnant?
Until now there is indeed more research that states that music that has a gentle type of melody can affect the development of the fetal brain in the womb. Actually, the baby you are pregnant already has the ability to hear sounds outside the womb when he is 22-23 weeks of pregnancy. At the age of pregnancy, the hearing organs are well formed, so babies in the womb can hear even recognize these sounds when they are born later.
Then what about the loud sound of rock music that his mother heard?
Listening to rock music during pregnancy will cause bad side effects or not actually depends on how you listen to it. If indeed you listen to it through headset, then this will not affect the baby's development at all. However, this can adversely affect your sense of hearing.
In normal circumstances, the baby is surrounded by amniotic water which makes it safe and comfortable in the womb. The condition of your baby in the womb is actually the same as when you are in a swimming pool. You can hear what sounds on the water, but don't know exactly how the sound is. So you don't need to worry if you want to listen to rock music.
What is the impact of listening to rock music while pregnant?
It was mentioned earlier that listening to rock music during pregnancy does not affect the development of the baby. If indeed you like rock music and the music can make you more relaxed, eliminate your stress and anxiety during pregnancy, then there is nothing wrong with listening to rock music.
Having a mental and calm mind during pregnancy, it is very good for the health of pregnant women and their fetuses. Even in a study conducted by researchers from Stanford University, found that loud genre music such as rock or metal can affect hair growth in babies in their womb 'listening' to the music.

Rock music itself has a decibel - a measure that shows what the sound level is - which is quite high, which is around 110-120 dB. While in some studies it is stated that sound that is safe for the fetus is a sound that has a decibel of 70 dB. Even so, until now research that states that listening to rock music during pregnancy is dangerous for fetal development is research carried out on animals, such as mice.
Indeed, in the study the rats who were played by rock music were mostly born with a state of disability or cognitive decline. But there are no studies that show the same thing in humans. Even in several other studies, mentioning that the baby's amniotic fluid is indeed able to reduce the sounds from outside the uterus so that the fetus is protected.
