😂 Funny Facts

– Baby Knows Best!

During an ultrasound, a mum-to-be asked me:

“Doctor, will my baby recognize your voice when she’s born?”

👶 Fun fact: Babies start developing their senses much earlier than most people think:

Touch begins around 8 weeks — that’s when they can first feel.

Taste develops by 13–15 weeks — yes, they can “taste” flavors through the amniotic fluid!

Hearing becomes active around 25 weeks — and that’s when they start recognizing voices.

So yes, babies know their mum’s voice best, but they can also get familiar with sounds they hear often — including the doctor during checkups!

I smiled and replied:

“Looks like I might need to say hello when she arrives!” 😅✨

And actually, when I deliver babies, I always greet them with a smile and say:

“Welcome to Zambia!” 💙🇿🇲

💡 Key note: Pregnancy is full of miracles — tiny humans growing not only in size but in senses. Science makes the journey even more magical and explains the senses, but love and warmth make the journey unforgettable.
