They say “Music is a piece of art that goes through the ears and straight to the heart”. But did you know that soothing music through your pregnant belly has the power to positively affect your baby as well?
A recent study from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Barcelona reveals that exposure to music or the sound of the mother singing while in the womb was associated with better neural encoding of speech sounds in infants resulting in stronger brain development to recognise and understand sounds. This can help with early language skills and communication after they are born1.
So, why not turn your pregnancy into a beautiful symphony and create a calming soundtrack for you and your little one? To get started, here’s a list of Spotify pregnancy playlists designed to bring comfort and connection during this special time.
