I think I have finally found the best way to search for information on my research topic! Thanks to discussion E I found zuula.com. Zuula searches all search engines for you and then comes up with the most relevant first. Then if you still want to find more information there are tabs to other search engines like Bing and Yahoo that you can try.
My keywords are becoming easier to use now too. Pregnancy+Music+"Fetal Development" seems to work the best especially on Zuula. On the relevance scale I give it a 5. I get thousands of hits when I search these keywords but the most relevant come up first. I would say on the first page of results 90% are relevant to my topic.
At first I was going to focus on music AND emotion and their effect on fetal development, but the more I research the more I think just focusing on music would be my best option. Emotion, especially during pregnancy, is hard to accurately gage whereas music's effect has had studies conducted and is easier to prove.
I used Zuula on June 23, 2012.
Here are some sites I found using Zuula.

This last link talked about the babies memories of music during and after pregnancy, which I found very helpful.
