can my baby inside my tummy sense their dad from inside?

long story short I’m no longer with my ex. And we decided to co parent. Met him and his family today for lunch. We didn’t interact as we’re not really on speaking terms. but he spoke to his parents all. Could it be baby hearing his voice or sensing that he was there? I’m current 6 months and usually my baby wouldn’t kick that much during lunch. But as my ex was speaking all I could feel was my baby dancing and kicking in my belly. Could it be I’m overthinking or can my baby actually senses and recognise his papa voice?(fyi we broke up when I was ard 4 months)

Wah not overthinking lah! My friend's gynae actually told her that by around 24-25 weeks, baby can already recognise familiar voices, especially ones they hear regularly. Someone in my mum WhatsApp group also shared that her baby would kick like crazy whenever her husband talked near her tummy, same thing! So even though you two broke up, baby still heard papa's voice enough to remember it, very sweet actually.

Yes, babies can actually recognise voices from inside the womb, and by 6 months they can hear quite well already. Your baby has been hearing his dad's voice since before the breakup, so it makes total sense the kicking picked up when he started talking.
