"Babies respond to sound starting at about 24 weeks of gestation" is an accurate statement because fetuses respond to sound by 24 weeks."That must have been a coincidence;babies can't respond like that" is inaccurate.Acoustic stimulations can evoke a fetal heart rate response.There is no such thing as an aural reflex.The statement,"Let me know if it happens again;we need to report that to your midwife" is not appropriate;it gives the impression that something is wrong.
