2. Five scientific benefits of listening to music for pregnant women

According to research in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Psychology, soft music can reduce cortisol levels (stress hormone) in pregnant women by 25% and significantly improve mood swings.
2.Promote fetal brain development
Research from Harvard Medical School shows that fetuses who listened to Mozart music for 30 minutes a day starting in the second trimester had an average postnatal neurodevelopmental score of 8-12 points higher.
3.Establish parent-child emotional connection
Fetuses can recognize sounds with a frequency below 500Hz after 24 weeks. Repeated playing of specific lullabies can reduce the newborn's heart rate by 15-20bpm after hearing it.
4.Improve sleep quality
Clinical data shows that pregnant women who listen to music with a tempo of less than 60 bpm before going to bed can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep by 40% and increase the duration of deep sleep by 22%.
5.Assisted delivery preparation
The British Midwives Association recommends the "music delivery" program. Music with a specific frequency can stimulate the secretion of endorphins and increase the pain tolerance of first-time mothers by 30%.

| music type | Recommended tracks | Best use case |
|---|---|---|

4. Precautions
1. The volume is controlled below 60 decibels (equivalent to normal conversation volume)
2. No more than 45 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day is appropriate
3. Avoid high-frequency stimulation types such as heavy metal and electronic music.
4. You can interact with the fetus after 28 weeks: tap your belly to match the rhythm of the music
5. Expert advice
Director Wang of Shanghai International Peace Maternal and Child Health Hospital pointed out: "Music intervention should become a standard part of prenatal education. We have observed that pregnant women who adhere to music therapy have a 43% reduction in the incidence of postpartum depression, and newborns generally have higher Apgar scores."
The latest trends show that more and more expectant parents are beginning to use smart prenatal education equipment, which can automatically adjust the music frequency according to the gestational age and monitor changes in fetal heart rate. This combination of technology and traditional therapies is creating a new way of managing pregnancy health.
