Treasure the memory of seeing your baby in utero while you can.
There is something to be said for seeing your baby yawn, smile, wiggle, move, kick, and even hiccup inside you for the first time. Let's just say it is incredible.
The joy you experience is indescribable, and your smile seems as if it could light up any room for days. In this article, we'll explore some of the things you may not know about the behavior and activities of your little one while they are in utero.
Of course, we know babies sleep, but did you know babies can taste certain food ingredients like garlic, ginger, and anise (a flavoring agent that tastes similar to black licorice)? These flavors travel to the amniotic fluid. So, if you have a sweet tooth, don't be surprised if your little one does, too, after birth.
By the end of week 9, your embryo is now considered a fetus and can grab and suck his or her thumb, and by week 14, this tiny tot can feel movement, hair starts to develop on its scalp, and even gender is determined.
At Fetal Photos by Cara, our entire focus is on you and your family's experience bonding with your unborn baby. Our licensed and registered ob-gyn sonographers, Cara and Jess, have over a decade of experience, are well respected in the ultrasound community, and are skilled and knowledgeable about getting the perfect in-utero 2D,3D, and 4D images.
Starting at 15 weeks, we recommend our Gender Scan Package: It includes black and white printed photos in 2D and gender as early as 15 weeks. Based on our experience, after seeing your little one for the first time, you will want to see him or her again, so why not splurge after your first session and block some time out for two more upcoming appointments?
Our Ultimate 3D/4D Double Session with HD live does not disappoint.
Session one is between (22-26) weeks and offers the session in 3D/4D/HD, high-quality glossy prints,
all color images & digital video.
Session two is between (28-32) weeks and offers the session in
3D/4D/HD, high-quality glossy prints, all color images, and a digital
video.
Below are some more interesting facts about your soon-to-be bundle of joy.
• Around week 26, their tongue has formed, taste buds and eyes have fully developed, and they can even cry.
• By week 30, their senses are in full action. Their vision, hearing, taste, and touch are all working together. They can't see you yet even though you can see them, but they can open and close their
eyes and be sensitive to light.
• By week 30, research shows that the baby can recognize their mother's voice. So, be sure to talk, read, and let them hear some good tunes while they are waiting to get out of the dark and open their eyes to the world outside of the womb and meet you.
Whether this is your first baby or you are a veteran mom, every pregnancy is different, so enjoy these precious moments now; they won't last forever.
Remember, before you know it, your little tike will be here, and one day, you will look at all your images and videos and tell them stories about what it was like when they were in your tummy.
