How Classical Music Can Affect Your Fetus

How Classical Music Can Affect Your Fetus

Midwife Pevi Revina STr.Keb February 15, 2021

pregnancy musicOn second trimester the fetus has developed very rapidly, both in terms of size and ability. One of the important abilities that began to develop at this time was the ability to hear. Currently hearing is the only channel of communication between the fetus and the outside world. He can feel the surrounding environment through hearing. For what he can hear, he will also react. The mother can feel this reaction in the form of fetal movement in the womb. In connection with the development of the fetus’s sense of hearing, people have begun to associate the fetus with music, in order to educate the fetal brain.

But is it true that music can smarten your fetus? This opinion is still confusing among experts, because in fact there has not been a single study that confirms that the music heard to the fetus is able to make your little one’s brain smarter or make it a genius. “There are no studies on the effects of stimulation before birth on intelligence, creativity , or later development, ”says Janet DiPietro, a developmental psychologist who studies fetal development at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

“Intelligence is a complex thing,” said David Baron, Head of Psychiatry at Temple University School of Medicine, USA. So, until now, there has been no evidence that music will directly stimulate the fetal brain so that one day they can have a certain IQ. How come? “About 60-80% of a person’s intelligence is genetically inherited,” he explained.

However, fetuses who are accustomed to listening to calm classical music do tend to be calm children. He also sleeps well easily. And, this deep sleep has something to do with brain development! Just so you know, nerve cells in the brain will grow rapidly when the fetus sleeps. If he is calm, sleep is enough. Brain development can be maximized.

Staying healthy during pregnancy can increase fetal intelligence

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with playing music since your child is in the womb. Other studies have shown that if a pregnant woman is played certain music, the fetus in her womb will react with movement as long as the music is played. This shows how happy the fetus is in the womb when music is played. But you also have to know that not all types of music have a positive effect. Research shows that the type of music best believed to stimulate brain development is classical music.

Why classical music? until now the reason is still being debated There are those who think the reason may be due to its regular nature in terms of tempo and tone structure, so that it can provide its own description for the brain. An image that shows that this world has lines that are interconnected although invisible. It is the ability to draw invisible lines that makes the difference in intelligence.

Whatever the logical reason behind this, for pregnant women the things to be done are simple. Even though you may not like classical music, but it will be very meaningful if you listen to it for your fetus, so that he can get the best things for his development. But besides that, you can also listen to the opinion of Janet DiPietro, developmental psychologist at Johns Hopkins University, “Play music because you enjoy it, not because you’re trying to make your unborn baby smarter. Music can help you relax, fall asleep, or perk you up if you have the pregnancy blahs. When a woman relaxes, that’s good for the fetus and that’s an indirect effect of music on the fetus, You can put on some tunes, kick up your heels, or dance around and have fun ”… Play music because you like it, enjoy it, and make you relax. Not for expecting a genius baby. Music makes you calm, even a pleasant lullaby. Sometimes it helps you to be much calmer when dealing with changes in pregnancy hormones. With the peace of pregnant women, and the least risk of stress and tension, your body is a healthy and comfortable home for your fetus. Dancing and moving the body to the music, enjoying comfortable music, giving positive energy to the body that will be absorbed by your fetus.
