Sometimes, when you touch a pregnant lady’s belly, you might feel a small thud, a sign that the baby is kicking inside the womb. Researchers reveal that this happens as a way for babies to understand their bodies while in the womb.

Researchers measuring the brainwaves of newborn babies have discovered that a baby’s kicks are likely a way for the infant to map and begin to understand its body. The study could help doctors develop better techniques for looking after premature babies.

Anthony Wood has more on these research findings on New Atlas.
