There is life in the womb. The baby feels what happens outside, even if it is inside the amniotic sac, and can receive stimuli coming from the outside. In fact, even before leaving the mother's body, all senses — except for smell, which is still uncertain — are fully developed.
The first sense is taste. The baby inside the mother's body can perfectly distinguish different flavors. In fact, the baby is very aware of the difference between bitter and sweet. Everything the mother digests reaches the baby, and the baby makes a selection of these tastes and flavors.
Starting at 26 weeks, the sense that is fully functioning is hearing. The baby can hear the sounds of the mother's body and external noises (voices, music, the mother's intestines, and her heartbeat), which are immediately perceived by the baby. This is when the baby begins to develop its own musical preferences, and what it likes most is calm music or melodies. If you love rock music, forget about playing it after 26 weeks, because most likely the baby will start kicking and moving a lot.
From 6 months of pregnancy, babies begin to open and close their eyes; at week 13, the baby's eyes were well developed but remained closed. Light coming from outside, if very strong, can cause the baby to immediately turn away and start rubbing its eyes.
Usually, the mother, father, and everyone close to the pregnancy kiss and caress the belly, and the baby feels this affection; its sensitivity to touch begins to increase.
If you talk to the baby, sing a song, or play music, it will be a stimulus and a way to get closer to the baby, even before birth. Communicating with your baby before birth will make the encounter with the real world easier. Prenatal stimulation is increasingly recommended for parents.
Smell remains the only one of the five senses that is uncertain whether it is sufficiently developed before birth. All the others are already functioning almost fully.
