When does the child begin to hear?
Modern experts do not have a precise answer.to this question. According to studies conducted in France, the fetus begins to hear already in the first trimester of pregnancy. But it should be taken into account that it perceives sounds differently than people who have already been born. Noises are of a vibrational nature - the fetus feels sound vibrations. At what age do children begin to hear the same way we do? Up to 16 weeks, the fetus's hearing organ is formed. It begins to function somewhere around the 20th week. It is from this time that the sound waves reaching the fetus become auditory, not vibrational. Individual sounds reach the fetus - it begins to hear: - the mother's voice; - her heartbeat; - lung noises; - blood flow in the woman's body and in the placenta, etc. This allows the mother to establish contact with the child even before his birth.
How to establish sound contact with the child?
At 6-7 months, the unborn baby candifferentiate almost any sounds. The child feels whether the mother's heartbeat is rapid or calm, what her voice is like (cheerful or sad), what her breathing is like. If the expectant mother is excited, her heart rate is rapid, her breathing is irregular, the fetus freezes in anticipation of danger. The woman must restrain her emotions, because every time she is nervous, stress hormones penetrate the child's body, causing a deterioration in its well-being. Sounds coming from outside are distorted because they pass through the waters in which the fetus is located. In the 8th month, the baby can already give emotional coloring to noises. Thus, the baby can distinguish: - people communicating with his mother, who are hostile; - talking to her in a friendly tone. For this and many other reasons, a pregnant woman should reconsider her communication with people, try to avoid people who make her nervous, and talk affectionately to the future child as often as possible. You need to be friendly and not worry about trifles. This should be followed even after . This is the only way to preserve the psycho-emotional health of the baby and maintain it at an optimal level.
