The things babies do in the womb that you never knew about…..:

1. They develop tastes for certain foods. Has pregnancy
given you insatiable cravings for Taco Bell? If so, expect
your kid to be a chalupa connoisseur himself. That’s
because the nutrients in the food you eat seep into your
amniotic fluid, which the fetus gulps down and can “taste”
by 20 weeks. And your tastes rub off: One study found that
mothers who regularly ate carrots gave birth to little bunny-
wannabe babies who love carrots more than babies whose
moms didn’t eat this vegetable much.

2. They react to stress. In one study at Durham and
Lancaster universities in England, the more anxiety moms
reported, the more often their fetuses used their left hands
to touch their face. This suggests that a mom’s emotions
might impact their movements in subtle and surprising
ways. It also suggests that moms really should try to relax.

3. They practice facial expressions. By observing 4D scans of
fetuses, scientists at Durham and Lancaster Universities
found that by 24 weeks, unborn babies could achieve “two
dimensional” facial expressions such as curling their mouth
in a smile. By 36 weeks, unborn babies could achieve more
complex facial expressions including “pain” though lowered
eyebrows, wrinkled nose, and stretched mouth.

4. They cry. Silently. Which makes us want to cry, too. In one
study that video recorded ultrasounds of fetuses during the
third trimester, startling the baby with a low-decibel noise
against the mother’s abdomen caused their fetuses to
display traditional crying behavior, such as opening their
mouths, depressing their tongues, and gasping irregularly.
Researchers even spotted that telltale quivering lower lip.

5. They recognize nursery rhymes. In one study conducted
at the University of Florida, researchers asked pregnant
women to read classic verses to their unborn babies twice a
day for several weeks during their third trimester. In
response, the fetal heart rate slowed when the rhymes were
read by mom, or even when read by strangers a few weeks
later. This suggests that the babies were thinking “Hey, I
don’t know who’s narrating, but it’s my favorite: Mother
Goose!”

6. They also recognize songs. In another study conducted at
the University of Helsinki, researchers played “Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star” over and over during the mom’s third
trimester. After birth, they played the song again. EEG
readings via electrodes on the infants’ heads showed
greater brain activity for infants who’d heard the song in
utero than for those who hadn’t. This suggests that they
could name that tune.

7. They anticipate touch. Researchers at the University of
Durham used 4D ultrasound scans to track the movements
of fetuses during the third trimester, and found that by the
nine-month mark, fetuses started opening their mouths
prior to touching this area. This suggests they’d finally put
two and two together — i.e., “Hey, hand headed toward
mouth for some quality thumb sucking! Open up!”
