It's pretty obvious that human "interaction" is for the purpose of making people, and we can know -these days- how they develop within the mother.
Not to get too sentimental, but there are some theories that classical music while a woman is pregnant helps calm the child...and added on to that, ask any mother whose child was a "kicker" whether they have a "mind" or personality.
