It's amazing. I've been gazing at an ultrasound image of an unborn child the past 10 minutes. Now I'm curious as to how it really is inside the woman's womb. What sounds does a baby hear? Doesn't he feel cramped during the last trimester? Why doesn't he drown in the amniotic fluid (a question I'll get to the bottom of soon!)? Is it cold inside? Does he hear the ringing of mobile phones around his mother? What volume level of ring tones wakes him up?

Indeed, it's hard to keep looking at images of womb residents and not become more curious about them and their environment. On the other hand, when one has been exposed much to pictures and other materials on pregnancy, it's easy to unconsciously assume that others know about these things as well. Case in point: me -- studying the aforementioned ultrasound image -- and our house helper rummaging through some stuff in the laundry area nearby. On impulse, I asked her, "Nakakita ka na ba ng picture ng baby sa loob ng tiyan ng nanay? (Have you ever seen a picture of a baby inside the mother's tummy?)"

"Hindi pa. (Not yet)"

"Ito, oh. Tignan mo. (Here, take a look)"

She walked over and peered at the computer screen. While she marveled at the image, and stared some more in amazement at other photos I kept in the hard disk, I chided myself for taking these things for granted. Just because you're used to seeing pictures of fetuses in different stages of development, that doesn't mean everybody is, I silently "scolded" myself with a sheepish smile.

Not everyone has laid eyes on a 4D sonogram image either. Here's one (it's the same image that I've been talking about in this post) -- and it's a picture that will continue to amaze me -- and to remind me of the splendor of life before birth.
