This week is my 15th week gestation, the fourth month. As the baby’s head has grown, the ears have moved to their proper places on the sides of the head. The eardrums and the bones of the middle ear are formed.
This means soon my baby will begin to hear and react to the noisy world of my uterus. Of course, the most noise the baby can hear is the rumbling of my stomach, the whoosh of blood through my blood vessels, and the beating of my heart.
This also means it is the right time to start to practice prenatal/fetal education to my baby. According to what I learned about prenatal/fetal education, human personality starts to develop before birth and is directly influenced by the mother’s experiences. Mother’s nutrition and physical well-being, as well as her mood, thoughts, speech and actions, were held to influence the physical, intellectual and moral character of the future child.
