Babies taste the food their mothers eat right from their womb. This is evident by the flavours that can be detected in the amniotic fluid. This is nature's way of preparing the baby for the different flavours in the real world. 

2. Open their eyes

Babies start opening their eyes right from the womb. This happens around week 28, though the baby won’t be able to see much. Such babies are able to react to light while still in the womb. 

3. Crying

New born babies cry as soon as they are born. However, they also cry while still in the womb. Researchers who used ultra sound technology found out that babies cry in the womb as a sign of communication.  Their bottom lips tremble to show that they are crying. 

4. Smiling

Babies smile in the womb from around week 26. Developing babies start practicing how to smile in the womb. Researchers who used 4D scans on pregnant women confirmed this. 

5. Hiccuping

Some pregnant women can feel their babies’ hiccuping while others won’t feel a thing. This happens especially later in the pregnancy. This might happen on a daily basis in some women.
