Cellphones even annoy fetuses

(Public Domain)
It seems as though you can’t go anywhere anymore without experiencing the jarring sounds of cellphones.

When you’re a fully-formed human, this is bad enough.  But when you haven’t even come to full term within your mother’s uterus, it is particularly disturbing.

Julie Sabino of HNGN reports that “fetuses spend up to 95 percent of their time sleeping, either in deep sleep or light sleep.”  When the mother with whom they’re sharing a “bed” (so to speak) is constantly on the phone, this vital sleep can be greatly disturbed.

A study at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in New York City “involved 28 pregnant women who were all in their third trimester.”  Ultrasound revealed that when cell phones rang, the fetuses were “turning their heads, opening their mouths, and blinking.”  

These precious little ones seemed “definitely disturbed or interrupted…”
