Some mothers have asked for ways to communicate and bond with their baby before birth, and as pregnancy progresses, there are many ways to focus on your baby and communicate with him/her and a time for mothers to relax and connect with their bodies as well.

Seven ways we have found to connect with your unborn child are as follows (enjoy);

1) Relax in a warm bath and concentrate on feeling your baby’s movements, imagining what he/she is doing inside of there.

2) Talk to your baby.  Your baby can detect sound from outside the womb by 20-24 weeks and is especially likely to tune in to your voice.  You can give a running commentary on your activities, or even read to your baby.  This one is a good one to involve your partner with as well.

3)  Rub or massage your belly.  You may find that your baby responds by kicking;  It’s almost like having a conversation.

4) Spend some time making plans for your baby’s arrival for example, choosing colors for the nursery or even just buying a few onesies.

5) Start Reading books of baby names and making a list that you and your partner like.

6) Some couples also enjoy taking pictures to document the growth of the mama’s belly and making a diary or journal of progress and signs.

Each baby and pregnancy is a different and unique miracle.  Mothers may find that one baby might be responsive to the reading, while another is more responsive to the massaging.  If you are studying to get your ultrasound or sonography degree, you may be in a position to help mothers through the birthing process, not only physically but emotionally and psychologically as well.
