  Well, at 25 weeks, the baby should def be able to hear the mother at least speaking

  Your baby can hear you already at 25 weeks! It may just sound like you're talking underwater, or just very muffled, but you voice is heard!

  I read that it's about 21-22 weeks. ?Luckily, it's just muffled sounds while in there. ??

  Also the baby doesn't know what things mean. So you can probably still say things around the baby until they are old enough to speak.

  This is what is on week 16 here at the bump:

  "Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender."

  Ditto PP on 21-25 weeks...but DS didn't start "Parroting" until he hit 2...so you've got awhile to practice your "proper" speech!

  I've noticed that the bump and baby center do not always agree.  According to baby center, you're baby can hear (at least) mom starting at 19 weeks.  As someone else posted, the bump says around 16 weeks.  So by 25 weeks, baby can definitely hear your voices.

  Although baby does not know what the words mean and can not repeat them, now is a good time to start taking certain words out of your vocabulary if that is what you choose.  Start a new habit now while you still have time to practice!  

   Good Luck!
