From a single fertilized egg, the baby develops into a complete fetus. These subtle changes may not be readily noticeable to the mother. Yet, the baby can keenly sense the mother's state within the womb: her emotional ups and downs, the length of her rest periods. Therefore, expectant mothers must maintain healthy habits to ensure their baby thrives inside.
Don't doubt it—fetuses have biological clocks too.
While we may question whether babies can perceive night and day, scientists have confirmed through extensive research: By 34 weeks in the womb, babies can distinguish between darkness and light. They begin following their mother's 24-hour rhythmic cycle.This means that when we are in excessively bright environments at night, the fetus will also become excited along with the mother.
