As a psychologist, I would recommend that a fetus is exposed to (positive) stimuli before its birth. Surprisingly enough, the fetus begins to learn as early as six months. At about six months, the fetus is responsive to sound and is introduced to the sound of its mothers voice, although muffled (Myers 2014).

“exposure to cocaine in the womb can lead to subtle, yet significant, deficits later to children.” Cognitive performance, information-processing, and attention to task are deficits that can occur (Gaither).
