Music during pregnancy• Mothers who set aside time to relax daily by listening tomusic also help their babies feel calmer and happier.• Pregnant women and their babies share hormones, sothere is a close connection between the emotionalwell-being of the mother and that of the child she carries.• Additionally, music played during childbirth can relieveexpectant mothers' anxiety, help release endorphins andreduce the amount of anesthesia needed.
Vibroacoustics for BabiesA pioneer in the vibroacoustic music field, Olav Skille,suggests that vibroacoustics can have a big part in ourhuman development.“Research around our prenatal environment has shown usthat the uterus is a liquid-filled vessel which constantly istransferring sound vibrations to the whole body surface ofthe fetus. The amplitude is measured to be 80 dB, and themain frequency level is below 200 Hz. Sound wavestraveling in water are approximately 4.5 times longer thanwaves of the same frequency traveling in air. This meansthat not only the body surface of the fetus is massaged bythe sound vibrations, but the vibrations penetrate the wholebody of the fetus, and give a gentle massage to virtuallyevery cell in the body of the unborn child. It is highlyimprobable that this massage is having no effect whatsoeveron the development of the child.” (Skille, 1991.)
