   Yes, your baby is able to hear any sound that you hear. Music, voices, TV, dogs barking, etc. I would lay off the screamo music, but not necessarily all the way. I would try more calming, gentle music. After all, you don’t want your baby to become stressed, it could affect her growth. Hope this helps!

   LOL No, don’t be afraid! I’m at 23 weeks and I’m not one to put baby Einstein on! They can hear what is going on, most can recognize voices- yours, your partners etc. I’ve noticed that when my husband talks, she moves around a lot. There are even headphones you can put on your belly so the baby can listen to music. But, overall- if you listen to that kind of music, you will probably still when he/she is born. Sooner they get used to it, the better Congratulations!

   i saw on t.l.c. that the baby can hear like an old person. it sounds muffled. they also said that its like us trying to hear under water. i dont think no one would ever know for sure since we cant remember anything that far back. i do know that the baby will reconize your voice.

   I was worried about that too! I honestly dont know but just try not to have the music too loud. Here is somthing I picked up off the internet. I personally think whatever the baby is used to in the womb will probably calm him or her later in the world.

   How do I play music for my unborn child?

   You have two options. You can go clunky (get your Walkman out and stretch the headphones around your belly) or casual (play some music on the stereo as you go about your day). If you go the headphone route, or decide to place a cassette player or speaker near your abdomen, Van de Carr says you should limit it to no more than an hour a day, since the music is up close and may overstimulate the baby. Some experts, such as DiPietro, say you should avoid this method altogether. “People tend to turn up the sounds because they think it needs to be loud to penetrate the abdomen,” she explains. “Amniotic fluid is actually a good conductor of sound.” (Actually, one study has found that amniotic fluid amplifies low-pitched sounds, like a bass guitar, by a very minimal amount, about 3.7 decibels. But as the pitch gets higher, the fluid dampens the sound.)

   If you choose the stereo, don’t pump up the volume higher than 70 decibels — about as loud as background music at the store — because that may hurt or startle the baby, says Rosalie Pratt, a professor of music medicine at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. She also recommends classical music. Mozart’s symphonies are excellent, says Pratt, because they have the right mix of new sounds and repetition, which she believes babies may enjoy. But, she adds, most anything will do, as long as the music isn’t discordant like some of the rap, grunge, or hard rock songs played on today’s pop stations.

   Animal studies show that constant exposure to chaotic, discordant music negatively alters the brain’s structure, says Dr. Pratt. Even plants seem to abhor this type of music. Ivy growing on a home where classical music was played all day long flourished better than that on a house where occupants blasted hard rock.

   I don’t think it can “hear” the music per se but I believe they can feel the beat/rhythem and thats why its good to listen to Classical music…like baby Mozart. I did that for my son and I swear to you that he is smart. His teacher says that he’s at the top of his class and talented. What harm can it do if it doesn’t work, but its worth a try. My son, Alwood, is 8-years old now.

   Yes babys can hear what you are listening to, but I dought it scares her….but try your best not to get scared yourself, it can cause a misscarriage….don’t let people snick up on you and scare you…but yes your baby can hear everything that goes on out side the womb…..good luck on your new baby…take care

   yeah you baby can hear.
   when i was like 17 weeks, i had the window down and this huge truck beeped his horn right next to my door, i got such a fright and my baby jumped at the same time, that was when i first felt my baby.

   but my husband likes loud music and the baby hates it, when he listens to music she jumps around much more than normal.
   if i was you i suggest you not to listen to the music,
   the more calm you are during your pregnancy , when he or she is born she’ll be calm and healthy

   No. It won’t scare your baby. This theory was actually tested. Any noises that your baby hears in womb, it will be accustomed to when it’s born. There are many theories on this, and even some movies with this in them. There was once a movie, where pregnant woman lived above a hardcore/hard rock night club… when the lady died, someone took care of the baby. It was crying like crazy and as the guy was flipping thru the channels a rock video came on, and the baby stopped crying. This exact theory has been tested in many ways, and sounds do not scare the baby, it actually grows used to them and will most likely like them when out of womb because it reminds them of before.

   The only thing wrong with hardcore/screamo during pregnancy is live shows. The decibels from the speakers and double bass drums are too high and THAT can be problematic. It won’t hurt the baby, but I guarentee that it won’t like it.

   I listen to Hardcore/Screamo too. (The Devil Wears Prada, AKissForJersey, August Burns Red, A Day to Remember, With Blood Comes Cleansing, A Plea for Purging, etc, etc,..) So I thoroughly researched this topic, especially since I like to go to shows.

   I’m going to look for the articles I read, if I find them I will come back and add them here.
