Baby development
I can now perform rhythmic movements with my lungs, about 35-45 breaths per minute.
My brain is developing at great speed and I can process information, respond to light and process signals through all my senses. Even before I meet my mother, I know who she is. I can recognise her after childbirth, based on her voice and smell, which I’m already familiar with from my time inside her belly. Whilst it’s mostly mother I hear, I’ll remember most people who have spoken to me regularly. So I encourage long chats and singing with others who will be important parts of my life. It's fun getting to know each other better now!
