It's true! A study by Kisilevsky et al., (2003) had fetuses at 30 weeks gestation listen to their mothers’ voice and a stranger’s voice👂

Fetuses showed increased heart rate to the mother’s voice in comparison to the strangers🫀

The fetuses actually showed a decrease in heart rate to the stranger’s voice! Wow! 🤯
