I was just wondering what people thought of babies in the womb. When they get to term and are in one position all the time until they are born, do they get bored? I know I would be bored with nothing to do and no stimuli. Let me know what you think.

Babies in the womb have LOTS of stimulation, By he time you feel them moving, you can poke them back, they will kick again. You can shine a light on your stomach and they will move. talking to them is stimulating, they can hear your voice from the time their ears develop, and other peoples voices around 6.5 months into the pregnancy or 26ish weeks. They can hear and feel your heartbeat, and its always loud in there, like the sound of a fan because they can hear the blood rushing in your vains. Its a very stimulation world they have. NOT TO MENTION, they dont know what bored is. Being bored is taught. They sleep, wake, and move, explore whats around them, explore themselves, their hands, feet, cord, the walls of the uterus. They use your bladder as a trampoline. My first son would stick his feet out of my belly and you could measure them, he liked his butt rubed and would stick that out my side. Rubbing it he would calm down and go to sleep. Now at 3 he loves to have his butt rubbed at night, calms him right down when hes upset. So no, i dont think they get bored at all

I would think that they get bored too, too bad there is no way for us to really know. I mean especially when they don't have any room to move anymore-all they do is hang out in the same position, maybe they amuse themselves by listening to our conversations and they probably love when they get some attention via belly rubbing.
