What to use to listen to music during prenatal education

It is best to use speakers to play prenatal education music. Computers and tape recorders are also suitable tools for playing prenatal education music.

Prenatal education music can be played directly through the cassette player. The cassette player should be about 1 meter away from the pregnant woman, and the sound intensity should be between 65 and 70 decibels. The rhythm of prenatal education music should be gentle and smooth, without lyrics, and the mood of the music should be gentle and sweet. Be careful not to place the tape recorder directly on the abdominal wall of a pregnant woman to listen to the fetus.

Specific steps for listening to prenatal education music

1. Choose good music, become familiar with its content, and understand its connotation and social background. Before listening to music, pregnant women should relax their muscles, keep their mood comfortable, and tell their babies to listen to the music together.

2. The volume of the recorder should be moderate.

3. Do not lie down for a long time when listening to music to avoid the enlarged uterus compressing the inferior vena cava and causing fetal hypoxia. Pregnant women should sit in a semi-recumbent position, preferably on a sofa or recliner.

4. Three times a day (i.e. once in the morning, noon and evening), 5-10 minutes each time. If you cannot enjoy it at noon due to work, you can do it once in the morning and once in the evening. You can also adjust the time according to the specific situation. .

5. When enjoying music, you should have beautiful associations with the music, have deep expectations for the baby and pour all your love into it.

6. The music should not be too many or too complex. Just choose a few simple ones to listen to. Sometimes you can listen to one piece at a time and repeat it several times.

7. When listening to music to the fetus, the fetus must be awake, that is, when there is fetal movement, or gently push the abdomen to wake it up. Only when the fetus is listening can the effect of prenatal education music be produced.
