Reflection Paper The Womb

The short clip weve watched entitled The Womb captures my heart. I felt the pain that the mother felt during the labor. It is hard to imagine that maybe someday if I got married, I will experience laboring a child. But thats not yet in my list for now. :) In that short clip, it describes how the body parts of the baby develop inside the mothers womb. Up to now, I am really amazed because in nine months pregnancy of the mother, different organs of the baby develop and they turn into a real human being. SO AWESOME! At 3 weeks old of the baby, imagine that the heart of the baby starts to beat. At early days of the pregnancy of the mother, you will not even notice that the child inside your womb has already a life. Then, the bones start to grow and have proportion at 9 weeks old of the baby. As time goes by, many organs form in the baby and the mother must be careful about their health and thing they are doing because it can really affects the baby. According to the film, loud sounds can make the baby jump in the mothers womb. So if I will become pregnant someday [but not now :))], I must be aware of the sounds I hear. Classical music or sounds can help the baby to be intelligent or nurture the talents even if they are only inside the womb. Anything that the mother can hear, feel, eats, drink; really affect the health of the child. Also being careless of the mother can affect the baby. If you will get slide onto a wet place, there is a tendency that your child will have lip pallet because in the womb, your child is having a thumb sucking. Moreover, if your child is a right-handed in writing, he/she sucked in his/her right hand when inside the womb and vice versa in left- handed. The Womb gives me lots of knowledge that will surely help in my course and being a mother someday. It will really help me to take care of my child and do things that will enhance my child when I get pregnant. Thanks Maam Alarca!
