How many weeks old?

When do babys start hearing from inside the womb?

[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
By around 16 weeks of pregnancy the ears have developed and the baby is likely to hear you (mother’s voice). Usually it is seen that babies often recognize a sound or tune they heard in the womb after 16-18 weeks of pregnancy. You can also discuss this with your Obs and Gyn. Take care!
