A Medical Detective Story:
What You Felt Before You Were Born
Part Two of Three
Until the 1980s, it was assumed that the unborn child and newborn child could not sense pain. Now leading researchers agree: The unborn perceives pain at no later than 20 weeks gestation. There is a wealth of anatomical, physiological, and behavioral evidence that backs up this conclusion. The unborn child may experience pain more intensely than an adult. Why, then, has a widely-publicized medical review claimed that the unborn cannot sense pain until 29 weeks? What are the implications of this false assertion for child-centered pediatric medicine?
