Admit it - from the moment you found out you’re pregnant, you’ve talked to your baby several times. By week 26, your baby has grown to respond to sounds both inside and outside the womb.

Entertain yourself with these interesting facts about your baby’s sense of hearing:

The sense of hearing develops first. As early as 9 weeks, indentations on your baby’s head form to become the ears. Sensitivity to sound develops gradually.

Your voice is the clearest. The sound of your voice is actually the clearest one your baby can ever hear. In fact, it reverberates through your body.

Your baby may respond to sound with movement. This is worth a try - talk to your baby (or you can let Daddy do the talking!) and watch or feel as the baby kicks in response.
