Naturally, this is primarily the rumbling of your intestines and the beating of your heart, but your voice and sounds from the outside are also becoming increasingly penetrating. <\/p>\n<p>If you sing a specific song repeatedly now, your baby might recognize it later, after birth. And perhaps that will calm him or her down. In any case, it is worth a try. And if a door is slammed shut, you hear a loud bang, or loud music, that can make your child restless.   <\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, it is unlikely that he or she will react to that themselves, but rather to *your* startled reaction. Of course, your child continues to grow at a steady pace. While he or she may have been a bit skinny until now, your child is now starting to develop a layer of fat. This is necessary for your child so that he or she can regulate their own body temperature.   <\/p>\n<h3>You<\/h3>\n<p>Do you suffer from a pressing pain above your stomach? Then you most likely have heartburn. As your belly grows, the pressure on the stomach increases. As a result, the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach no longer closes properly, allowing acidic stomach contents to flow from the stomach into the esophagus. This can cause an unpleasant burning sensation.    <\/p>\n<p>To prevent heartburn, it is best to avoid large and fatty meals. It is also wise to refrain from drinking carbonated beverages, coffee, and orange juice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 24 Hearing sounds Your baby Your child&#8217;s ears are starting to take on an increasingly distinct shape, and your&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1653,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"templates\/flex.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1800","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1800"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1801,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1800\/revisions\/1801"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
