1. Educating babies in womb? Unlikely.

Unlike common belief (or how parents wish), there is no point teaching fetus specific content while in womb. It's because they have not yet developed such complicated brain structure to absorb the specific content. 
Instead, what the mothers can do is to keep on talking to fetus so that they get familiar with the mother's voice better. After they are born, the mom-baby bond will probably develop faster due to the earlier familiarization. I think this saves a lot of trouble on the mother's side, being worried over educating their unborn fetus!

2. Easier labor for babies? no need~

During labor, mothers go through much pain because they have to stretch tissues. However, this does not mean babies also experience that much pain when they come out. This is because unlike stretching(mothers), squeezing(babies) is much less painful.

Also beside that, it's always better to stay away from obstetric medication because it can prolong labor, which will accordingly cause longer oxygen deprivation on babies' side. In worst case, it may even lead to more brain damage, less attentive babies, poorer muscle tone, and less vigorous reflexes.

3. Newborns take nap half-awake!

Unlike adults, even when newborns are taking a nap (not the long night sleep), their brain is not entirely disconnected from external stimuli. This was shown by a study whereby researchers turned on some language speech sounds during their nap, and after they got up, they could recognize speech sounds. (This was displayed in 'habituation' which means babies showing less response to old stimuli than new, probably because they have lost interest already)

Regarding the last fact, I can't help but envy those babies' brain that doesn't get disconnected even during the nap! I know that skill would have saved lots of trouble, time and boring reads. But at least I know that even I had such magical talent when I was younger, in fact, everyone here as well! :)
