Features: We often hear people ask, "Does the fetus have a heart?" "Yes, of course! However, the fetal heart is not exactly the same as an adult's heart. Although it is called the 'heart,' it is divided into 'good heart' or 'bad heart' depending on the mother's daily lifestyle. If you live a peaceful life, you can cultivate an excellent fetal heart." Mentioning this, mothers' faces cannot help but show a sense of excitement. So, when is the mother's mood stable? In a nutshell, it is probably the "moment of satisfaction." Being satisfied when hungry, satisfied with love and family, satisfied with a comfortable life—all states of comfort can be called the "moment of satisfaction," and the fetus in the womb is the same. When he can feel comfortable and happy, the "moment of satisfaction" of his heart develops. Comfort is a part of the heart, just as unpleasantness, anxiety, and anger are also parts of the heart. To meet the basic conditions for human survival, shaping the fetal heart also shapes the heart after birth. "Heart" probably forms in the womb around when? The fetus can feel comfort or discomfort around the 14th week of pregnancy, about 4 months, when the mother is finally starting to get used to her pregnancy. Even when the fetus is not yet taking a human shape, the heart has already begun to form. Around the 14th week of pregnancy, the "limbic system" in the fetal brain begins to form. The "limbic system" controls the animalistic senses of human survival (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc.), and it has a very important function. After birth, for the development of intelligence, the limbic system must be healthy, so the lifestyle during pregnancy is also quite important. The "heart" of the fetus in the womb is very simple. If the instinctual desire to protect life is satisfied, it will remember "pleasure." If it is not satisfied, it will remember "discomfort." When the feeling of discomfort gradually increases, the fetus will kick the mother's belly, desperately trying to express its dissatisfaction through action. When the fetus kicks, do not just dismiss it as "the child is very healthy" and ignore it. Movement and kicking are different. When you feel a kick, you might as well ask, "Baby! What's wrong? What is making you unhappy?" At first, he may not understand what you mean, but as long as you repeat it, gradually he will understand your comforting tone from your voice. In fact, when parents have a heated argument, the fetus should also send out messages like "Stop! It's too noisy! It's too painful!" The way the mother cries is the same to others; however, the mood behind the crying is different, and so is the fetus's movement. There was once a mother who mistakenly thought she had broken water and came to the hospital. Fearing the death of her fetus, she burst into tears uncontrollably. At that time, the fetus visible on the ultrasound screen was moving very intensely, struggling painfully with its hands and feet, so violently that the screen was difficult to see clearly. There was once a mother who only got pregnant after 10 years of marriage and witnessed the ultrasound
