before birth

yes i think that doing things such as reading, talking and playing music while babies are still inside the womb has a great effect when they are born. i did all this things when i was pregnant. back then, i was reall lonely coz his fathr abandoned us. i would talk to my baby as if he's a grown up. i constantly tell him that mom loves him so much and even if there's only the two us, i'd do everything i can for him and he has to help me. i tell him that im hoping he would make it easy for both of us, the delivery and his temperament. i also played a lot of classical music so that he'd be a quiet baby. when he was born, the nurses said that he's the quiet one in the nursery. even when we were already home, he would cry only when he's hungry and i am the only one who could hear his soft cries. now he's 6months and he becoming more curious of his surroundings. all the time, he keeps people around him happy with his feats. he's a really happy baby.

You are right do everything good when you are pregnant brings a great effect to the baby and also watch TV, avoid watching unwanted movies but education,great researches, something people have achieved in life. Even reading your holy book and practising some holy events. I am a Muslim I fasted for 30 days,one whole month, which gives so much of blessing to the baby and also pray 5 times a day during the holy Month of Ramazan.I have a son very adorable, with the blessing of Almighty Allah he is a Private Pilot.

i heard about it too, i think it is true. my wife was pregnant before and she is going for cesarian, but then her sister told her to play music on her womb and it work, she made a normal delivery when her labor came.

I'm not really sure either, i mean, whenever i drove anywhere the music was always up nice & loud for me, i used to bop while driving along. I cant say i read to my belly but i did talk to it - i'm not much of a singer but i'm sure i was singing along to all my favourite songs when they played! My daughter is quite advanced for her age & was very alert when she was born, she had amazing neck muscles at birth & would try to lift her head from the moment she came out. I cant say it's because of the music or anything but i guess anything's possible!

yah? i did that also to my son, maybe what you're saying is right, my son is so active and smart this result shows specially now that he is going to school.. he also loves music in fact when he was still a baby he cant sleep without music..

I don't know much about this.But I have known something in the tv and the web.I think before you have a birth,you can listen to some music and often walk outside.And you should eat something heathy.

I did all of this with both my pregnancys. I dont really know if it makes a difference But i think so. My kids seem toi be that much smarter than other kids. They both walked before a year and were talking sentences at 18 months. Maybe it does Help.

From the time I found out I was pregnant with my son, I talked to him all the time. I listened to a lot of music while I was pregnant, too. I still read to him every single day, and talk to him as well. He's 15 months old now, and talks in complete sentences. He likes to pretend to read the paper with me. He will identify animals or say girl or boy from looking at the pictures in the newspaper. I don't know if it had anything to do with reading and playing music to him when I was pregnant or not. But I know it couldn't have hurt anything! I will probably do the same thing with all my children. Of course, when I have another one, I will be reading to my son anyway, so the new baby would hear that, too.

i think when you do these things it helps with the bond and connection you share with the baby. now i don't think a baby in womb knows if it's being sung to or read to or anything but i do think they hear the voices around and i believe they can feel the caresses of their parents when they are pat or rubbed through their mothers abdomen. i do believe that the interaction before birth does make the baby more curious about the world that they enter right after birth. i believe that all babies are also very alert at birth. i wonder how many mothers the nurses say such things to just to build the mothers pride. i've never worked in a hospital nursery so couldn't begin to interpret how all babies are right after birth. i only have the experience of my own and a couple of friends and family members babies, all were very alert the first several hours after birth before they got tired. i think the endophrines and adreneline released during child birth have alot to do with this process.

I was in my first semester back to school while I was pregnant. I would read my books aloud and do my homework. I think that it did make her smart at one year she is very intelligent and she understands almost everything I say. I think that it is important anyway to read to your children when they are young. They absorb so much at this age.

This is just bullshit because an unbirth child wont notise anything.

My sister did the same thing too . She let the baby listen while in her . Now the boy is very bright and he could read really read at 4 years old.
