Pregnant women should be extra cautious around loud noises/sounds. These loud sounds can be harmful for their babies in two ways. Firstly, loud sounds can cause stress to a woman’s body. This stress can lead to negative changes inside a pregnant woman’s body, which can harm their child inside the womb. Secondly, loud sounds do travel down to a woman’s womb. Though, they are generally muffled and do not affect the baby. But, if the sounds are too close or too loud, they can harm a baby’s hearing development, even inside the womb. Therefore, it never hurts to be extra cautious when it comes to children.
