Studies have been done proving that sounds carry through to the womb and that babies can have strong reactions to different sounds.

Some think if a woman eats fish while she is pregnant that she will improve her baby’s brain function and that her child will develop better communication skills than a baby born to a mother who did not consume fish while she was pregnant.
