As soon as I knew I was pregnant, I was talking to him and singing to him and telling him stories. My husband talked to him too, so the baby would know his voice. Everyone should be doing this - it's important.

Reactive listening has been demonstrated through research at 14 weeks gestational age, approximately 8 weeks before the ear is structurally complete. Researchers in Belfast demonstrated this by beaming a pure pulse sound into the womb at various gestational ages; a visible reaction was first demonstrated by the fetuses and observed by ultrasound at 14 weeks. Other studies have demonstrated that a five-second auditory stimulus can cause a change in heart rate that lasts up to an hour ( 3.).

Around 20 weeks, I believe. I mean, it's different with every baby as they develop at their own pace, but 20 weeks is what the books say....

Don't know, but I've heard that there are brain waves as early as the end of the 1st month.
