Conception
Conception is the action of conceiving a child or of a child being conceived. Every human being begins life as a single cell, formed when father's sperm fertilizes mother's egg. Fertilization normally takes place in the mother's Fallopian tube, which connects the uterus (womb) with the ovary. The uterus is the size and shape of a large pear: it is made of muscle and it stretches to allow the baby's growth throughout the months of pregnancy.

Hearing voices outside the womb will also help the baby decide the difference between happiness and sadness created on pitch and sound level of voices. oxytocin; which has been called the ‘hormone of love’. Oxytocin levels help the contractions of the uterus during labour, but are also present in both mother and baby just after the birth.
