Another fantastic-accomplishment: your little monkey has been peeing into their amniotic sac for a little while now (this is why potty training takes a while) and if you didn’t know, actually swallows it along with the rest of the amniotic fluid.

Can my baby hear me talking to him from inside the womb?

In one study, newborns whose mothers had regularly watched a popular soap opera while they were pregnant stopped crying when the show’s theme song was played.

Some researchers believe that prenatal communication, stimulates babies’ brains, triggering nerve cell development, helping them process information more efficiently. In other words, they believe it may make babies smarter. They also contend that prenatally stimulated babies tend to cry less at birth, have longer attention spans, sleep better, are less likely to develop learning disabilities, turn out to be more creative and musical.
It might work the other way too, helping the baby establish a bond with you. This could be particularly important to your husband. Lots of fathers get jealous of the immediate connections their infants have with their mothers. But a good part of that connection might have more to do with the mother’s voice than anything else. If he spends some time “conversing” with your baby before she’s born, she’ll recognize and be more responsive to his voice.

Most childbirth classes operate on the belief that the more you learn about pregnancy and birth—from exercise and nutrition to the difference between an epidural and a spinal—the more in control you’ll feel and the less you’ll have to fear. Classes typically last five to nine weeks and usually run about $100 to $200. Most are offered either privately or through local hospitals so check with your doctor or the maternity ward for a referral.
Is it necessary to Choose Episiotomy？
If you are planning on a vaginal birth,whether or not to have an episiotomy is an important decision to consider. It is best to know all the options available before labor begins, so that your birth plan expresses your specific wishes.
There are two main types of episiotomies – the midline and the mediolateral. The midline is when the doctor makes the incision straight down towards the anus, and the mediolateral is an incision made diagonally to help avoid a later tear into the anal area. It is used to be done routinely during a vaginal child birth by the doctor or midwife as a way to help the woman avoid getting a tear.But today many women say no to it.
The positive aspects can include:
• Faster birth
• Prevention of tearing
• Protection against incontinence
• Protection against pelvic floor relaxation
• Faster rate of healing than tears
While the negative aspects include:
• Infection
• Increased pain
• An increase in 3rd and 4th degree vaginal lacerations (euphemistically called extensions)
• Longer healing times
• Increased discomfort when intercourse is resumed
Many midwives believe that there are better ways to avoid a tear than getting an episiotomy. These might include:
• Good nutrition (healthy skin stretches more easily)
• Kegels (exercise for your pelvic floor muscles)
• Prenatal discussion with your care provider about episiotomy
• Prenatal perineal massage
• A slowed second stage (controlled pushing)
• Warm compresses, perineal massage and support during delivery
