boredom

This is probably a stupid question, but does a baby get bored inside the womb? And can it think? I'm just curious as to how much an unborn baby is like us.

Lol I love this post/ comments. The other day I got a little emotional because I was thinking how cramped my son is in there and he has nothing to do and poor guy could be sleeping great and I wake him up ( irrational I know).

Unborn babies don't know there is anything other then what they've been doing. I doubt they get bored saying as all they know is life in the womb. As for dreaming I would think they proababy dream of things they've heard like mothers voice and what not.

They can dream?! That's so weird. Well even blinde people dream of different things like lights. So maybe they dream of lights?

Not sut they get bored I doubt it because all the sounds are new. Plus they play with hands, feet, toes, fingers,.and umbilical cord. So much to explore and look at.

Not stupid at all! I always wonder this stuff. I think he may think cuz he seems to show emotions. He doesnt seem to like drs. they say they can dream. What do they dream of though?

I've always wondered that too. My son already sleeps in the same position I do with one leg crossed over the other. I have 5 days until I can see if he will do that out of the womb too.
