do you read, talk to and let your unborn child listen to music while in the womb

Yes as does everyone in my family! My 4 yr. old loves to sing a bed time story to her soon to be sister every night. I am always talking to my belly too the point of driving my husband a little crazy because he doesn't know who I am talking to half the time.

I talk to my son and play music for him everyday. I'm 8 months pregnant and I've done it for months now. I read stories to him, even if it's just an article I'm reading in a magazine. I know he'll respond and recognize my voice no matter what he hears. I also just like to talk to him. I tell him about things going on during the day and about things he'll have when he gets here. I always make time to play a variety of music for him everyday also. I play lullabies and children's music and then I play things that I like. I can tell things he likes (or maybe doesn't like haha) that I play because he'll start moving around more.

hi. that's great to hear. i learned that from psychology that it helps their brains develop:-D keep it up.

Yeahhh sure, when I was pregnant my mom told me that I need to talked to my son, read stories and let him listen to any music. Because to the belief if you do that one, the baby will turn out to be a singer or at least have a good voice. But my son now who is 8 yrs old, he dont have great voice. Maybe because he still did not developed it yet. Crossing my fingers into it.

when i was pregnant and even now, i listened to classical music. i also learned to appreciate the Harry Potter series when i was having my first child. i guess now its into her, "book appreciation", although she's 3yrs old, she sometimes prefer books rather than dolls.

Yes,this is called prenatal care,birth of the child born after the inprovement of IQ is very helpfull prenatal care call out the lifetime education of the child,s IQ helpful is a required course for enery pregnant mother

I talked to both my girls all the while that I was pregnant with them, even before they should have been able to hear what I was saying. I guess it was my way of bonding with them and letting them know that they were loved and wanted even before they could understand such things. I also love listening to music, so I am sure that they could hear it, too, when they were developed enough to at least feel the vibrations of the music. I usually sing along with the music as well, so that is both the music and talking aspects. Sometimes we would even put headphones on my belly to let the baby hear better, but most times I would just listened to the music and sing along with it. I don't know whether or not it helps boost their intelligence, but I do think it is a way to bond with them. Also, both of my girls are very intelligent, so it might increase intelligence, too.

I haven't had any children yet, but my sister and sister-in-law are expecting my first and second nieces/nephews soon and they have been talking to and reading to their babies all through their pregnancies... will the babies be smarter because of it? Who knows. But I think that it could help them to bond better with their babies. There is a great book (that I bought for each of them) called "Ma, There's Nothing to Do Here!" about a pre-born baby who complains about there not being enough space in there and who tells of all the fun he/she will have when he/she "gets out". It's really cute and they both (as well as everyone else who has seen the book) love it!

When I was pregnant, yes I did talk to them. I would just tell them what I was doing while I was doing things. I was never sure if they understood but I wanted them to get familiar with my voice so that it would soothe them when they were born. That's what one of my nurses told me. Therefore my husband would also talk to my tummy while I was pregnant so that our baby would be familiar with him too and so that he could also soothe the baby when born.
