There’s a whole mess of literature out there that talks about how important it is to properly prepare for the birth of your child. I’ll venture to guess that a lot of you already know the obvious guidelines for the mother-to-be: eat healthy, no smoking/drinking, exercise, etc. Then there’s the whole nesting side of preparations, making sure that you’ve baby-proofed the house and set up the baby’s room (he’s sure to complain if the decor isn’t high quality). So you’d think that you have all your bases covered, right? Well, what about all that time little Eugene or little Helga spends gestating in the penthouse suite of the Holiday Womb?
The Prenatal Musical System (ThinkGeek, $99.99) is the most advanced and complete method of delivering auditory sounds to your unborn child. I mean, you must have heard how much knowledge fetuses can retain while in the womb, so it seems like a no-brainer that you should start educating them early. Now, I’m not saying that you’ll play them some Hooked On Phonics and they’ll come out spouting off full sentences, but it’s not like it could hurt, right? Also, what about music? It’s supposed to soothe babies and babies are thought to recall songs they heard while gestating. Using a four speaker surround sound system, this contraption safely delivers sound to your unborn child in an optimally balanced and effective way, no matter where the baby is hanging out your belly. There are built-in side pockets to house the device’s audio controller as well as your personal MP3 player, you can host a hands-free concert while your baby listens to some tunes. The unit is lightweight and elasticized with a streamlined design, providing new mommies comfort and support while accommodating their growing belly.
My only word of caution would be to make your musical selections carefully. I mean, if you play death metal to your stomach for nine months, the results could be a little scary.
