Babies Can Cry in the womb

This may be the neatest thing I have ever seen. Did you know a baby cries in the womb???? Check out this video!

It makes sense though. They practice sucking their thumbs in the womb… they practice breathing motions in the womb… Why not practice crying?

This is simply fascinating!

Oh, and don't forget they practice boxing and gymnastics, too! And trampoline jumping.

mine did kick boxing too :)
i was at the prenatal class, and i suddenly let out a gasp of air, and collapsed on the floor, out of my chair

everyone stared at me

the next week, at class, i lifted my shirt and showed them 1/3 of my stomach was various shades of black, blue, yellow, green, orange :)
everyone said 'oh, he DID hurt you, we thought you were over reacting'
i smiled

Thanks for sharing that video. I'm not sure if I can 100% see it, but it does make sense. Babies in the womb seem to be having a jolly good time in the great weather. And it's probably maddening when that ultrasound comes rumbling in and disturbs the peace. How annoying that must be!

You know what is really fun David... Taking the blood glucose test about 20 minutes before an ultrasound. Not only are they annoyed that they are being disturbed but they are also all hopped up on sugar!

When you have a little baby of your own on the way you will be amazed at how well you can see an ultrasound. It's a parenting "Gift" Sort of like how you go from knowing nothing to everything overnight when they are born. :)
