5 senses of the fetus will be formed during 9 months and 10 days in the womb. Surely when discussing this issue, every mother is nervous and wondering how the 5 senses of the fetus will be formed and developed during pregnancy?
Maybe you don't know, but the baby's 5 senses have been formed since the 9th week, when the fetus is only the size of a grape, the fetus's 5 senses such as nose, eyes and ears have developed.
Out of the 5 senses, touch is the earliest developed sense, starting from the 8th week of pregnancy, the fetus can touch the lips and cheeks. By the 11th week of pregnancy, your baby begins to explore his body and "dark nest" with his mouth, hands and feet.
Around the 10th week of pregnancy, your baby's taste buds begin to form. Gradually, your baby can begin to taste the foods you eat through the amniotic membrane that surrounds them. Therefore, if you eat healthy foods while pregnant, your baby can taste them, and may tend to like these foods after birth. Taste is one of your baby's senses that is fully developed before birth.
Amniotic fluid plays an important role in bonding between mother and baby. It has a distinctive taste like breast milk. Therefore, it helps babies feel the familiarity of breast milk and can help them cooperate with breast milk as soon as they are born.
Although your baby's eyes develop during pregnancy, your baby can't see well right from birth. It will take a few weeks for your baby to form and remember what your face and body looks like. Between 23 and 25 weeks, your baby's eyes are formed and he starts blinking. After about 5 weeks or more, the fetus shows a reaction to light. In the womb, babies are constantly "training" their eyesight to prepare to see things.
Among the senses of the fetus, the fetus's hearing is well developed at about 20 weeks of age. At 26 or 27 weeks, babies respond to sounds and vibrations from the womb. Your baby may move or change his heart rate. Between 30 and 32 weeks, your baby usually hears voices or music – you may notice your baby kicking or startling at the sound of a door slam or an alarm.
Thus, the baby's senses are all formed during pregnancy, the mother's job is to eat well and rest properly to help the baby's development process be the best.
