Talking to your baby: It is normal, natural and common to talk to, sing to, or even play music to the baby growing inside of you. There is not any reason to be scared or worried about this natural behavior.

Not to be scared: Nothing to be scared about - even babies at this gestational age like music. You cannot damage their hearing even with really loud music once it goes through your skin, muscles, uterus and amniotic fluid to them. Studies actually hint to better brain development with some classical music played regularly in utero and after birth. Only harmful if the harm is to you - fetus ok.

Music: You do not have to play loud music to stimulate a fetus. Some reports of playing classical music like brahms or beethoven have been stimulating enough at moderate levels seem to work.
