Then, something serious happens to Toni's father, and Toni has to stay in Manhattan with her older sister Martine. Martine is almost thirty, and she and Toni don't have a relationship. Her stay with her sister changes her even more and changes her life forever when she finds something out about their parents that she never knew before. You can stop asking when we’re going to have a baby now (with a picture of the positive pregnancy test). Playing Beethoven doesn’t seem to have much more of an impact than Beyoncé, but research has shown that babies can develop a fondness for music they have heard in utero (although don’t ever put a speaker or earphones directly on your tummy as the resulting sound can be too loud when transmitted through the amniotic fluid). My husband and I were in the car when a radio segment came on about babies in China who – after listening to their mothers’ multi-tonal voices and hours of classical music in utero – were apparently more likely to grow into adults with perfect pitch. We looked down at my protruding tummy and wondered what our baby was learning in there: the plotlines to various television dramas? The exact cadence of my voice when I got excited about lunch? For the rest of the journey, we listened to Bach.

Now, a new study has shown that the aural environment a baby is exposed to in utero really does matter – and that the chattier the mother is, the better. The research, which was carried out in Italy and France, found that “language exposure before birth may help newborns acquire language with ease” after birth – making this some of the strongest evidence we have to date that humans start listening and learning from within the womb. Another added: "I could honestly cry tears of joy. You are blessed and now you have a beautiful baby girl on the way. She will be surrounded by happiness and love. Congratulations." So assuming that you’ve already told everyone that really matters (ha!), let’s get into how you can make a cute, epic, memorable or sweet pregnancy announcement on social media. Paris seemingly confirmed that her baby girl is born when she replied to Naomi's comment. Replying to the super model, Paris said: "Thank you gorgeous! So grateful for my baby girl." If you are okay with announcing to every single one of your facebook friends before out of the riskiest time period (the first twelve weeks), then go ahead!

The single life was fun, married life is rad, but now comes the best adventure, becoming mom and dad. The study also suggests that the advice midwives routinely give to pregnant women around the 16-week mark to start speaking directly to their bumps isn’t as silly as I had initially assumed. What is tiny, is causing me a lot of grief, and will make its appearance in (due date month and year)? Our new addition! Paris Hilton has announced she's welcomed another baby - a little girl - in an adorable social media post. The reality star delighted fans by marking Thanksgiving with a photo of a pink baby's outfit on social media with the caption "thankful for my baby girl". But for the high-achieving sort of parent – the one with a beady eye on the school that can get them into the Oxbridge college and catapult them into the perfect job – is there really an ideal aural environment to create?
