#3 – You May Have A Temporarily Misshaped Head

Babies are all born with a misshaped head, but, should you not worry as this is a temporary condition. What you should know is when babies are born, their skull plated aren’t fully developed and that’s because the bones aren’t fully formed and hardened.

And it’s only after birth that the un-evenness resolve itself. This might take some time, so there is definitely nothing to worry about!

#4 – You may grow a mustache and eat it

This is really bizarre and for a second might sound like old wives’ tale! But guess what? It is true and even the greatest professionals such as the anthropologist, Stephan Juan swear that this is true and can happen.

As Juan explains that some fetuses can develop some soft, hairy coat that is often re-offered to as ‘’ lanugo’’. The latter is originally a Latin word for ‘’ woolly down’’. According to Juan as the hair falls down, the fetuses ingest it and then it reappears after birth in their first bowel movement.

#5 – You Will Be Totally Coved In A Way White Substance

We are all born this way and every newborn baby is shellacked with a white waxy substance. The latter forms in the womb as a kind of water-barrier that can help the skin remain shellacked and prevent its wrinkling and pruning.

In addition to this, this substance is also beneficial for the mamas’ as it facilitates their labor experience and makes it smoother and less painful!

#6 – You May Have Already Developed Culinary Tastes

If you think that a sophisticated palate can only be developed through exposure to varied cuisines, then, you might change your mind. In fact, many researchers expose that many babies have actually developed some interesting culinary tastes before they have even had their first spoonful of pure healthy veggies and fresh fruits.

In fact, this is not surprising at all as according to the bio-psychologist, Julie Mennella, fetuses do swallow about 1 liter of amniotic fluid a day during their last trimester. So, taking into consideration that amniotic fluid carries all the flavors of food that the mother consumes, this does seem to be possible!
