Here's a question that will have you thinking!!

So you know when your stomach growls or makes that gurgling sound like a fart...can the baby hear it too!?! I was sitting here eating a pickle and my stomach randomly did the gurgling noise, it startled me because it was loud lol...so then I started to think did he hear that too and jump like I did lol.

After 20 something weeks your baby can hear. They hear your heart your tummy and even things outside when they get bigger. I remember when I was close to 30weeks with my first when I or some one else around me would sneeze the baby would jump inside me. It was cute but sad cause I know she got scared lol

Yes the can. Watch the documentary In The womb. It actually talks about this and how loud for the baby it is in the womb, how they can hear everything your body does. After all, their temp living space is right by all your organs:)

Yes they can hear it! My little one will sometimes even jump when I ...pass gas... ! They can hear your voice as well, and noises surrounding you. Mine kept getting startled when I saw godzilla in theaters. Poor thing was terrified every time godzilla roared! I almost left the theater!

I read somewhere that they can hear digestive sounds and that's why they may move when you start eating
