Inside the Womb: Acrobatic Fetus

A baby inside your belly is not just sitting there waiting to be born. Every moment of womb time is taken up by growing, developing, learning, and changing and that's just before making his or her way down the birth canal and out into the world.

A baby in the womb is doing so many shocking things. Not only are they learning to move their fingers, toes and limbs, they are also sometimes dreaming, sometimes yawning, sometimes sucking their thumb, and a million other truly astounding things.

Technology in recent years has improved imagery inside the womb and allowed for realistic animated visualizations to present various aspects of fetal development in a way that hasn’t been seen before.

Most researchers studying fetal development say Mother Nature and the stimuli your baby naturally receives in the womb from your everyday conversations and activities are good enough to prepare your baby for the outside world.
