While newborns do not smile until 4-6 weeks after birth, babies in the uterus do. Maybe because the uterus is warm, comfortable, and shielded from loud noise and bright light.

# 'Hysterical comes from
the Greek word "hystera" meaning "womb" due to the belief was that there were certain disturbances in women related to the womb.'
