Prenatal Development: What Babies Learn in the Womb

About this video lesson:
Everything starts the day your mom’s egg meets your dad’s sperm. 4 weeks later, your little brain begins to form. Epidemiologist David Barker says that whilst developing inside our mother, we are receiving ‘postcards’ from the outside world. These postcards tell us if this world is dangerous or safe if food is plentiful or scarce. Knowing nothing else, we learn from those messages. #pregnancy

I have learnt that baby's first cry stops as the mother hugs the baby. Because it gets to hear the mother's heart beat again.
Isn't it wholesome 😊

This makes me happy tears. I’m 7 month pregnant🤰 I had a miscarriage last year and got a first baby finally. I’m 40 years old now. I’m super excited my baby girl came to me and husband 🥲🥲
Being pregnant has been so hard to me because horrible morning sickness and other symptoms. But I’m hanging there.

It’s so cool reading all these comments and seeing that they were posted a year or two ago. I’m just imagining all the mommas who were pregnant when they watched this and now their little one is out of the womb💗❤️

I could never become a mother. I always wanted to have 3 kids. 60 years old now 😢. Maybe, next life. I pray nobody goes through this pain of not having a child. God bless all mothers

2 weeks pregnant. First time mom. I am so nervous but Elohim has allowed it to be so. May He help me carry the baby healthy and full term. May He grant myself and the father of my child wisdom, strength and resource to protect and nuture this baby. Praying for all mothers out there, expecting or already have given birth. Thank you Yahweh for the blessing of life! 🙏🙌✨
