I am not a doctor, let alone a NICU doctor or OB, but I’ve been wondering this whole time, how much fetal development is based on the mother’s movement throughout the day and gravity’s impact on the fetus? Especially that early in development. This whole situation has been so awful to hear about.
The baby is also severely brain damaged from the accident and unlikely to be any sort of normal. Like probably round the clock care to stay alive much less anything more complex per earlier reports. Was born at less than 2lb so its not even sure about survival yet.
Not just that, but other biological processes…and even sound. Babies recognize the sound of their mother’s voice from before they were born. And sounds from outside the womb (like language) too, IIRC.
