6. Fetal Hiccups
Fetal hiccups can be a source of concern for expectant mothers, but they’re a natural part of fetal development. They usually start during the second trimester and continue throughout pregnancy. Hiccups are the result of the baby’s developing diaphragm and aren’t typically a cause for alarm. It’s an interesting detail that many people are unaware of.
7. Developing Taste Preferences
Your baby’s sense of taste begins developing early in the womb. Studies suggest that the flavors of the food you eat during pregnancy can influence your baby’s taste preferences after birth. This is why some babies seem to prefer foods that their mothers ate frequently during pregnancy. It’s a remarkable connection between a mother’s diet and her child’s future food choices.
