When does the fetus begin to "hear"?
Gentle classical music, with its distinctive rhythms and dynamics, is said to influence fetal brain development and strengthen mathematical aptitude. Other recommended pieces include ballet suites, minuets, and dreamlike compositions. Many record labels release classical music specifically designed for prenatal education. Nature soundscapes—featuring ocean waves, birdsong, insect chirping, rain, and wind—create a peaceful and joyful atmosphere for both mother and child.
Regarding fetal development, books state that by four months, most of the baby's limbs and major organs—such as the heart, liver, and kidneys—have already formed, after which they gradually grow larger. As for organs like the nose, eyes, and mouth, although they begin to take shape around the eighth week, these features only start to function properly after the sixteenth week.At this stage, besides ensuring adequate and appropriate nutrient intake, maintaining a positive emotional state is crucial. When an expectant mother becomes angry, blood flow to the placenta may decrease, potentially adversely affecting the fetus. Regarding fetal hearing, it begins developing between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. The baby can simultaneously hear the sounds of the mother's internal organs functioning and external noises.
