BabyPlus

When you are pregnant you naturally want to do everything you can for your unborn baby.  You eat right, receive proper medical care and avoid harmful elements.  A concept that is gaining more and more attention during pregnancy is the idea of prenatal learning.  Some people think that music is the way to go, some think it isn't necessary at all, and others use a prenatal curriculum such as BabyPlus. 

While music is an excellent tool after your baby is born, it is just too complex in the womb.  Sounds need to be broken down into more basic and simpler beats, such as the maternal heartbeat.  There are several studies regarding the importance of learning in the womb but as with any complex element, such as fetal development, there is still so much left to learn.  We are just tapping into the benefits.

An article at Pregnancytoday.com talks about different ways of communicating before birth.  Check it out here http://www.pregnancytoday.com/articles/facts-and-fun-resources/prenatal-learning-6435/2/.  There are some interesting viewpoints and support for learning in the womb.
