#7 – You are kept warm thanks to ‘’ Brown fat’’

When the baby is still in the mother’s womb, he is happy kicking and tumbling. He is feeling all warm and healthy but once he comes out to this world, he seems to be instantly exposed to cold weather. Hence, the only thing that can keep him warm is brown fat and thyroid levels, said Dr. Auerbach. Dr. Auerbach added saying that babies are born with very high levels of thyroid and all they need to activate their natural heating is the adrenaline of birth and the exposure to room temperature.

#8 – You Might Not See Much, But Definitely, You Will Hear Much

Experts say that right after 4 months gestation, the baby’s hearing starts to shape up and they can hear you quite perfectly. That’s why it is always a good idea to sing for them and talk to them. Surprisingly, fetuses can hear better than their own mothers and this is because they are more close to the inner sanctum system of bodily sound itself. So, yes this is not magic but it is amazingly impressive!

#9 – You Are In Pain When You Are Being Born But No One Knows How Much

This might really surprise you but not only the mother that goes through pain during childbirth but also the baby! Traveling from the mom’s womb is definitely not a comfortable journey for the baby or an entertaining picnic. So, as long as you don’t remember how much it hurts to be born, be thankful you are reading this and smiling!
