Pregnancy - A Time To Connect With Your Baby Pregnancy is the perfect length to allow us to prepare fully for birth, motherhood and beyond.
Apart from the significant physical changes that are taking place for you and your baby, you are laying the foundations for the kind of relationship you will have with her.
You may be very comfortable with the idea of chatting to your baby and sharing with her what is going on.
But a healthy relationship always includes input from both parties and listening to your baby is just as important as talking to her.
Listening To Baby During Pregnancy Allow yourself to develop the habit of including your baby in very real ways.
Listen to what is going on for her.
Mirror back to your baby what you notice about her.
Let her know when she is kicking or moving for example.
Tune into her movement as communication.
This will help you to refine your listening skills and make it much easier then to understand what she is saying to you during and after birth.
It will prepare you for the subtleties of your baby's communication so that it is much easier for you to sense what is really going on for her...
when she wants a cuddle, to play or to be fed.
