During the last trimester the baby actually hears what is going on outside, this is how it can tell who the mom is. Also, due to how neurons grow (will go into depth later) it is good to do things such as playing mozart, read Mozart Effect. It's disputed about it "making you smarter" but this is not true, it doesn't. What it does do is cause more stimulus for your brain cells, keeping them alive, because neurons only grow for so long, then its "use them or loose them".
