      fetus A baby's hearing quickly becomes sharper between 32 and 35 weeks. At this time, he or she will turn his or her head towards a certain sound source. The most attractive thing to the fetus is the mother's voice. In addition, listening to people talk provides the fetus with a variety of rich experiences. Although the fetus cannot understand what you say, it can gradually become familiar with the characteristics of language, thus developing the ability to distinguish language from various other sounds after birth. When the mother puts her feet up and listens to the same soothing music every day, it will have greater benefits for the growth and development of the fetus. At 32 weeks, the fetus can remember the piece of music it listens to every day and recognize it after birth.

      At 6 months, the fetus can distinguish between bitter, sweet, sour and spicy tastes. Your fetus may even make faces to express displeasure when the mother accidentally eats something spicy. As it experiences different tastes, the fetus may even make connections between tastes and the effects those tastes have. If you drink a cup of strong coffee , the fetus's breathing and heartbeat will speed up.

      Your raised voice and the pressure you feel can also affect the regularity of your baby's sleep. When you feel irritable or anxious, it's important to consciously take some time to calm yourself down and convey your peaceful emotions to your baby. By doing this, you are actually teaching your child how to express different emotions, which will lay a good foundation for your child's future life.
