When Does a Fetus Become Conscious?
And Why the Mother’s Wide Range of Emotions Is So Very Important For Its Development
It is widely accepted that as a baby grows in its mother’s womb, it absorbs every vibration created by every thought that the mother has, the same as a magnetic recording tape. Every oscillation from every thought and shift in emotions from the mother is recorded by the unborn child.
The baby also hears and feels all sounds, at all stages of its development, from embryo to fetus to birth. Any external sound (such as voices or music) vibrates inside the placenta, as sound travels exceptionally well in a fluid environment. And not just the sounds, but also the intent, such as something said in anger, sadness or joy. Everything that happens in your baby’s environment will affect it.
It senses not exclusively through the ears or brain itself, but rather through its entire being.
As a developing embryo, it attunes itself to these frequencies and vibrations, but mostly to the audio vibrations, as sound is the first thing it feels. During this time, the embryo has no pre-judgments, and is gathering and absorbing as much information as possible. It feels an emptiness, and its instinct is to utilize whatever it can to feel alive and figure out “where it is at”, so to speak.
