Pregnancy is one of the most fascinating things that every woman will experience. There is nothing like growing a human inside of your own body. Some women that already gave birth couple of times will feel like and learned more and more about the process and all of the weird (and usually normal) symptoms of pregnancy.

Like, did you know that your baby pees in the womb? And do you know where that pee goes? They drink it. Kind of disgusting, right?!

Here are 12 weird facts about pregnancy that will blow your mind!

I don't remember who told me, but the baby also reacts to light. We used to play " the flashlight game" with my girls. You shine a flashlight on your belly and move it around. The baby see's the light filtered through your belly and reacts to it. The baby will follow it or play with it, it's really cool!

I am pretty sure just making a lot of funny sounds will have an identical effect. ^^

Babies learn and recognise the rhythm of their own language while in-utero so funny sounds would be a fun game but not the same :)

Fact:Technically a baby can not see very well, only in colorless blurs until 6 months, but can hear.

See? I don't think they could see a whole lot. It's presumably pretty dark in there.

The fluid surrounding the baby is actually flavored by the foods and beverages the mother has eaten in the last few hours.

In an absolutely sterile environment this does make sense...I just hope no Bear Grylls memes will surface now.

I didn't think this was a "Weird Pregnancy Fact" - I thought most people already knew this one.
