Navigating all of the advice and studies about what’s best for your developing baby can be time consuming and confusing… so we are here to help!  
The following information is what we believe to be the most informative and interesting reading.
A Baby In The Womb Can See, Hear, Feel And Learn Before Birth
Using ultrasound, sonograms, and fiber optics doctors have observed what babies in the womb are capable of. Even before birth, a baby can see, hear, feel, dream, show likes and dislikes and learn…all from inside the womb.
Babies Recognize Voices Heard In-Utero
Research shows that a baby in the womb to recognize its mother’s voice can and even distinguish it from other female voices.  Read more http://pregnancyandbaby.sheknows.com/pregnancy/Detailed/Yeah-mom--I-hear-you--Hearing-in-utero-965.htm

It also appears that the fetus can even hear specific speech patterns and intonations, although probably not recognize words themselves, says William Fifer, a developmental psychobiologist at Columbia University.
Experiences In The Womb Facilitate Bonding And Attachment
“That’s why so many moms read aloud to their children, even before that first night in the crib. We strongly endorse that practice too—not just for brain development but also to allow your baby to hear your voice and establish an auditory bond at an early age.“ Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen  Read more

Exposure To Music Improves Brain Development
“We also encourage you to listen to all kinds of music during and after pregnancy. This will help stimulate baby’s senses and improve his brain development. Exposure to different sounds and scenes is essentially what helps establish connections from one set of neurons -- the nerve cells of the brain -- to another. This is how we all learn. These neural structures are shaped like a tree and root system. A baby’s brain is extremely plastic, meaning that it can constantly adapt and make new connections between trees.” Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen   Read more

We also recommend their book, You Having A Baby: Michael F. Roizen, MD and Mehmet C. Oz, MD.
WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC SHOULD YOU PLAY FOR YOUR BABY?
“The pace of the music seems to be more important than the music style, and the music does not have to be slow. But beats that are random rather than rhythmic and sudden shifts in volume may startle a baby. Try playing different kinds of music and see how your baby reacts. Does your baby kick faster when you play quicker music? Does your baby calm down when you play certain music?” --Robert Abrams, fetal physiologist in the department of obstetrics at the University of Florida.
