<\/div>

Preborn children may not be at the same developmental stage as us, but there are many things<\/a> that they can still do<\/a>! They have beating hearts at only 21 days gestation, detectable brain waves at roughly\u00a042 days, and can suck their thumbs\u00a0and\u00a0yawn. They even have taste buds and their own fingerprints!<\/p>\n

The incredible things\u00a0preborn\u00a0children can do inside the womb may surprise us, however,\u00a0they certainly showcase\u00a0the humanity of preborn life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Learn!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ultrasound\"

Ultrasound of preborn child in the womb.<\/p><\/div>\n

BabyCentre<\/a>\u00a0shares that the “womb is a sensory playground for your baby,”\u00a0noting that when babies respond while in the womb, it is a sign that the child is preparing for life after birth.<\/p>\n

WebMd states\u00a0that babies have the ability to learn and listen while in the womb:<\/p>\n

The new research suggests that babies began to absorb language when they are inside the womb during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy<\/a> — which is earlier than previously held.<\/p>\n

Newborns can actually tell the difference between their mother\u2019s native tongue<\/a> and foreign languages just hours after they are born.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These incredible facts display that while the baby is not yet seen, he or she\u00a0is very much human.<\/p>\n

React with gestures!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Good<\/p>\n

Babies have the ability to\u00a0hear language and music<\/a> in utero\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the latter of which the child may react to. Babies can\u00a0react in the womb to music “by blinking or moving to the beat.”<\/p>\n

Children in the womb can also react in other ways, such as giving a thumbs up or other hand signals.\u00a0A baby recently made headlines after the mother posted a video <\/a>of her child at\u00a014 weeks, clapping in the womb.<\/p>\n

Remember!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"preborn-human\"<\/p>\n

Research on\u00a0how\u00a0children learn inside the womb also note a\u00a0preborn child’s ability to remember. In fact, research shows us that children can actually distinguish their mother’s language and voice from others.<\/p>\n

Speech pathologist Melissa Wexler Gurfein suggests that mothers should “continue to talk to her newborn from the moment of birth to help facilitate language development.”<\/p>\n

Children can also remember songs they hear in the womb for up to four months, as noted by\u00a0The Daily Mail. <\/a><\/em>Researchers say exposure to music in the womb may also influence a “critical period of brain development.<\/p>\n

It is amazing how children not only learn in the womb, but remember.<\/p>\n

Dream!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"baby\"<\/p>\n

At\u00a032 weeks, it is reported<\/a> that babies sleep 90 to 95 percent of the day. Some of these hours are spent in different stages of sleep, including REM, deep sleep, or in an indeterminate state.<\/p>\n

During REM sleep, [a baby’s]\u00a0eyes move back and forth just like an adult’s eyes. Some scientists even believe that fetuses dream while they’re sleeping! Just like babies after birth, they probably dream about what they know \u2014 the sensations they feel in the womb.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Researchers who\u00a0observed babies in utero note that they are in a state of quiet alertness. This\u00a0suggests that the child may be focusing\u00a0on something\u00a0\u2014 perhaps\u00a0listening to their mother’s voice.<\/p>\n

Exist as human beings!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ultrasound-2\"<\/p>\n

Even before preborn children are\u00a0able to do these things, they still exist. The moment the\u00a0sperm fertilized the\u00a0egg, a new human person came into existence!<\/p>\n

An individual\u00a0child is never anything but human, and\u00a0has never\u00a0existed, nor\u00a0will exist again. From the moment of conception, preborn children amaze us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
