Women have a lot of mood swings during pregnancy. People recommend listening to music to keep the mind calm. Because music is a great mood booster, it can relax your mind. However, there are many myths about its effect on the mind of the unborn child. A reel on an account named garbhkagyan on Instagram claims that listening to music during pregnancy can calm the child. Who can tell better than a doctor whether this is true or not. Therefore, the Sajjag Fact Check team has tried to find out the truth.

It is told in the reel that the hearing ability of the child develops after about 23 to 25 weeks of pregnancy. Due to which he can hear the outside sound. Light and soothing music like lullabies, classical music, or slow songs make the child feel comfortable and calm. Listening to music in the womb not only relaxes the baby, but can also stimulate the neurological development and hearing ability of the child.

To know the truth of the claim, we spoke to Dr. Meenakshi Bansal, Senior Consultant of Gynecology at Shri Balaji Action Medical Institute, Delhi. She has agreed with this claim. According to her, during pregnancy, the baby develops very fast and starts connecting with the environment around him. Music is a medium that can make the baby feel calm and comfortable.

Research shows that a baby growing in the womb can hear music after 20 weeks. Music creates a relaxing and calm environment for the baby, which makes him feel good. Apart from this, music helps in developing the baby's brain, due to which he starts learning and understanding more quickly.

According to the doctor, every pregnant woman should listen to Indian classical and light music. Apart from the mother, it is also good for the mental health of the child.

In the investigation of the Sajag Fact Check team, the claim that listening to music makes the fetus feel comfortable has been proven to be true. But during this time, women should be careful about the sound level.
