A baby doesn’t “learn” how to breathe at birth.
They already know.
A young, first-time mom asked our sonographer a great question: ‘How does the baby know to breathe when it’s born?’
Olevia paused. She smiled. And she patiently explained.
Inside the womb, babies practice breathing movements for weeks—sometimes months—before delivery. Their nervous system is preparing. Their body is rehearsing.
The mom was stunned.
“They already know?”
Yes. By God’s design.
Birth isn’t the beginning of life.
It’s the continuation of it.
Which is why prenatal care matters so much. 🩺🤍
What happens during pregnancy shapes:
• brain development
• stress regulation
• long-term health outcomes
When we care for a mom well, we’re caring for a life already learning how to live.
God designed it.
Science confirms it.
Care shapes outcomes.
