Plenty of excited mums and dads-to-be have sat down and played music to their baby bump.

Whether it’s Mozart’s Requiem, Beethoven’s Symphony, or Beyoncé’s Single Ladies, they all play music at their little ones hoping to stimulate them as they develop.

However we never knew if it was working... until now, that is!

Thanks to an eye-opening study by scientists at Instituto Marques in Barcelona, it has been revealed that unborn babies really DO love having a boogie in the womb.

In fact, this incredible footage of foetuses has shown the babies dancing and singing along to music being played to them via an intravaginal device.

Check it out for yourself below:

The study confirmed that babies are able to hear from as early as 16 weeks into their development.

Which means that, yes, chatting to and playing music to your bump are all worthwhile!

Dr Marisa Lopez-Teijon, who led the study, said the findings show a foetus responds to music transmitted by moving their mouth and tongue, "as if they were trying to speak or sing".

According to the Daily Mail, she added: "Foetal response begins at 16 weeks, with statistically significant variations throughout the pregnancy.

"The further on the mother is in the pregnancy, the more striking the facial movements. We are aware of and recognise the importance of talking to babies from the moment they are born to promote neurological stimulation.

"Now we have the amazing opportunity to do this much sooner, which is a huge advance."
