WATCH: Incredible scan film shows baby clapping along with mum’s singing

A born performer

They say that some babies develop a love for music in the womb, but we had never actually seen one clap along to a tune… until now.

Jen Cardinal and her husband were thrilled when their 14-week scan revealed a baby with some serious rhythm. As the giggling parents sang If You’re Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands, the lively baby appears to clap along.

Writing in the Youtube caption, Jen said: ‘At our 14 week ultrasound our baby was clapping, so I sang a song with our doctor as my husband filmed.’

‘The experience is one I’ll never forget. The baby clapped three times, then the doctor rewound and scrubbed it while we sang. No mystery. It was amazing.’
