Scientists: Dolphin Calls Good For Fetus
Peruvian Obstetricians Offer Therapy
LIMA, Peru -- Scientists in Peru believe that dolphin calls may benefit prenatal children by stimulating brain activity while the fetus is still developing.
Elizabeth Yalan, dean of the Obstetrician College of Peru, said the energy produced by porpoise calls can positively stimulate a baby's brain while the fetus is still inside the mother's womb.
Some believe the sounds can promote the development of babies' senses.
Instructors have trained the dolphins to swim close to pregnant women and emit their calls.
The practice is known in Spanish-speaking countries as delfinoterapia, or dolphin therapy.
Some obstetricians have begun to offer the therapy to pregnant women hoping to improve the abilities of their prenatal children.

do you think I could wear more than my underwear if I go? ;) cool idea.
For some reason the dolphins prefer you in just your underwear. Dolphins are strange like that.
I do think it is about time those dolphins got to work and started doing more than just flipping and stuff.
Discovery Health showed a woman who gave birth with dolphins. Before labor she was swimming around with them and while she was delivering, she was in the water on the other side of a partition from them. They stayed right there and watched her and "talked" to her. It was pretty interesting.
