I've heard that playing classical music while pregnant can have a positive effect on your baby's intelligence. Has anyone ever tried this or know someone who has? I think it's veryinteresting!

i agree... they say because it relaxes the mom who carries the baby in her womb and that when the mom is worry-free, the baby develops well inside the womb. I think pediatricians suggest that too.

theres a great book called the Mozart Effect all about the effects of classical music as a stimulus on children as they develop, you may want to check it out.

You are right. Even I read about this. The music may have direct impact on the womb or it may have indirect impact through mother. It could be that the mother who listens to the music will get pleasant feelings which will make the baby grow positively :)
