Can a baby feel mom's emotions/feelings inside the womb?? I've been going through it lately and so stressed out. Especially today, it's been hell and he's been moving like crazy, way more than usual. I think babies can sense certain things...

Your Baby's Playful Gestures Inside the Womb
Your Baby's Playful Gestures Inside the Womb
During the later stages of pregnancy, your little one may surprise you with some adorable and intriguing behaviors, even before they enter the world.
One of these endearing actions is sticking out their tongue!
While the exact reason behind this gesture remains a mystery, researchers believe it could be associated with your baby's development and exploration.
Here's what you need to know about your baby's playful faces in the womb:
Tongue Extrusions in the Womb 😛👅
Around this stage of pregnancy, many parents-to-be are delighted to discover that their baby is sticking out their tongue during ultrasound scans.
These amusing gestures are not only heartwarming but also offer valuable insights into your baby's pre-birth development.
Researchers speculate that the tongue extrusions might be a way for babies to explore their oral environment and interact with the amniotic fluid surrounding them.
A Taste of the World 👶🍼
As your baby develops, they begin to practice essential reflexes that prepare them for life outside the womb. One such reflex is the gag reflex, which plays a crucial role in protecting their airway and swallowing safely after birth.
The act of sticking out their tongue might be connected to honing this reflex as they may be tasting and swallowing amniotic fluid.
It's believed that this helps them develop their swallowing skills and prepares them for feeding once they are born.
Expressive Gestures 😊🤗
Beyond sticking out their tongue, your baby inside the womb engages in various facial expressions and movements.
From smiling to frowning, and even rubbing their tiny eyes, these gestures showcase their growing ability to express themselves.
It's a fascinating glimpse into your baby's developing personality and a reminder that they are already developing emotional responses even before they take their first breath.
While the exact reason for your baby's adorable tongue extrusions remains speculative, it's a heartwarming reminder of the wonders of pregnancy and the marvels of human development.
Cherish these playful gestures and look forward to the moment when you can finally meet your little one face to face, and share a lifetime of smiles and joy together. 🤩🥰

Can you feel a baby flip inside the womb? She was breech last week, and her kicks were very down low, towards my bladder, now I’m feeling kicks in my belly button/ rib region , is there anyway that means she possibly has flipped ?

A mother's life begins when a new life is stirring inside .. when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone 🤍🩵🎊

Doctor told me my baby was weighing perfectly inside the womb. He came out 5lb 8 oz .. he’s so tiny which mean none of his clothes will fit him 🙃

I had to buy preemie clothes so things could fit my baby. Be careful with Jumpsuits if they are big because they bunch up over the mouth/ nose area

What does it mean if your baby’s position in the womb has been head-down throughout the entire pregnancy?
Summer-Rain
Doesn't mean anything, it's a good thing.

I’ve been wondering when I’d be able to actually see my baby’s movements from an outside view & I just saw his little kicks or hand gestures while I was sitting down 😭💙 I’m so excited to be a Mommy 🥹🤰🏾

I believe so — I’m not 100% sure though. All I know is he’s in a really good position.
Thank you for asking that though, because it’ll definitely be a question during my next prenatal visit.
