Medical Video: HOW TO UNDERSTAND YOUR CAT BETTER
Every parent must always monitor the development of their fetus. In fact, for some parents, knowing the development of the fetus from time to time is a pleasant thing. Indeed, the growth and development of the fetus until it becomes a baby occurs very quickly and rapidly. In fact, so fast, your baby can see and recognize his face when he is still in the womb. Do not believe?
How can the womb baby recognize the face?
Believe it or not, your fetus can see it since he was still in the womb. Not only just looking at it, it even recognizes the shape of a person's face. A study has stated this might happen to your baby.
Research conducted by researchers from Lancaster University, England, states that the fetus can recognize a person's face even in the womb. The researchers conducted this trial using 4D ultrasound which was thought to show movement to the fetal face clearly.
So, in this study, researchers tried to provide stimulation to the fetus and then look at the fetal response to stimulation from 4D ultrasound. There are two stimuli given to the fetus, namely light stimulation that is only triangular. While other stimuli are light triangles with added two points in them, so that they are shaped like faces with eyes.
Then from the results of the study it was found that as many as 39 fetuses raised their heads 40 times when given stimuli that resembled the shape of a person's face. Meanwhile, the fetus only responds 14 times when triangular light stimulation is given.
Visual development of a womb baby
From the research, it can be concluded that many unexpected things occur during the development of the fetus. Although it is only known that the fetus can see and recognize the face when it is still in the womb, but indeed normally all fetuses have the ability to see when the pregnancy is 28 weeks old.
At the gestational age, the fetus's eyelids will open and start blinking for the first time. Visual ability is the last ability formed by the baby's branch, therefore at birth, babies can only see a distance of about 20-30 cm.
Light around the abdomen can interfere with the fetus
Experts also state that do not give light stimulation that is too bright for your fetus - for example, bring the lights closer to the mother's stomach. This will only interfere and make the fetus feel uncomfortable, because he can already 'see' and receive the light as stimulation.
It also indicates that any stimulation received will affect fetal development. there have been many studies that also prove that sounds heard by the fetus from outside the womb affect their cognitive abilities later.
