Everything starts the day your mom’s egg meets your dad’s sperm. 4 weeks later, your little brain begins to form. Epidemiologist David Barker says that whilst developing inside our mother, we are receiving ‘postcards’ from the outside world. These postcards tell us if this world is dangerous or safe if food is plentiful or scarce. Knowing nothing else, we learn from those messages. #pregnancy

    I have learnt that baby's first cry stops as the mother hugs the baby. Because it gets to hear the mother's heart beat again. Isn't it wholesome 😊

    This makes me happy tears. I’m 7 month pregnant🤰 I had a miscarriage last year and got a first baby finally. I’m 40 years old now. I’m super excited my baby girl came to me and husband 🥲🥲 Being pregnant has been so hard to me because horrible morning sickness and other symptoms. But I’m hanging there. I will cherish and protect her forever💕

    It’s so cool reading all these comments and seeing that they were posted a year or two ago. I’m just imagining all the mommas who were pregnant when they watched this and now their little one is out of the womb💗❤️

    "We are now the size of a raspberry" He sounded so proud. I'm so proud. I wanna be the size of a raspberry someday

    An extra interesting tid-bit: From the moment we develop hearing (processing sound waves) until about the first 2 months after birth, you can develop perfect pitch. Afterwards it is absolutely impossible. You can only later in life develop very accurate relative pitch. So when you have a child, try and let them hear lots of complex musical pieces. It can be classical orchestral music or some cool film soundtracks. The more variety the better. Hope someone finds this useful. Great video as always :]
