Do you think they touch it? Pull it? Hold it in their hands as a security object? Do they in time play with it?

My minds just thinking tonight lol.

Any input welcome.

  1. Maybe they do jump rope with it!! lol Things we think about when we are bored and pregnant. Good thing they have spell checker on here. Pregnancy messes up my ability to spell.


  2. Probably. Must be boring in there, just developing away.

  3. yes actually they do when they are i think 7 months around ther

  4. Um, I wouldn't even think they were strong enough to move like that?

  5. I would hope not. They can get strangled. That's how my cousin became retarded.

  6. oH YES THEY DO THEY ARE ABLE TO HOLD THINGS AND I AM NOT SURE THAT THEY DO IT FOR COMFORT BUT I HEARD THAT AND I SEEN ON TV THAT TWIND HAVE HELD HANDS AND SUCK EACH OTHER THUMBS FOR COMFORT IT WAS ON PAY TV DOCUMENTRY.

  7. Yes.  I have a 4D ultrasound of my first two children "playing" with their umbilical cords.  My eldest son actually was snuggling with it like a blankie.  Kinda gross and kinda worrisome (I was scared to death he'd get it around his neck), but cute at the same time.  lol  My daughter would actually squeeze it and hold it for a second.

  8. yes they do thats there first toy :)

  9. yes, my midwife told me that one womans baby was squeezing the cord during her contracions when she was in labor, and the heartrate would drop so they had to do a c-section lol.

  10. well their brain isn't really fully developed until like the very end of the pregnancy so really, would they be smart enough to? I don't really think so but then again, it is my unprofessional opinion:)lol

  11. no.

  12. it moves with the baby. since its so small and cramped in there, they try to move it out of the way

  13. They sure do!

  14. Yes, my sisters daughter was caught on ultrasound playing with hers she would grab it and hold on so her heart rate would drop and then she'd let go. my daughter was holding hers when she came out, so i would say it's safe to say most babies enjoy their umbilical cord as a toy in utero.
