How do I improve a baby’s brain development during pregnancy?
-
Hello, I am 27 years old female. I am 7 weeks pregnant. I read in an article that what a mother reads, eats, and thinks has a major impact on her baby. My question is what should I do every day or eat to improve the brain development of my baby during pregnancy. Please suggest some effective ways.

@aliina Hello, it is true. Here are a few things that will help in your baby’s brain development-
- Read according to certain studies the foundations for language begin in the womb and, by the third trimester, your baby can memorize sounds she/he hears regularly.
- Eat healthily- Omega 3 fatty acids are absolutely essential for a baby’s brain development. Make certain you include foods that have a good content of omega 3, such as fish, soybeans, and spinach, in your diet. Also, iron found in leafy vegetables, like spinach, helps the flow of oxygen to the baby’s brain cells.
- Exercise- Staying fit and active is all the more important during pregnancy. Fight the urge to laze around and get off the couch if you want to make your baby smarter. Exercise increases the flow of blood around your body, including to the womb.
- Listen to good music
- Keep a check on your thyroid level- During pregnancy if your thyroid level is unstable it can affect the baby: Deficiency of thyroid in the mother can affect the intelligence quotient of the baby.
- Get some vitamin D daily
Thanks.
