I want to embrace the experience of being pregnant however I can, but the most important thing to me is bonding with my baby while he's still in my belly! I have looked up different things I can do to bond with him, but here are three of my favorite techniques:
1) When the baby kicks, nudge back.
This one is probably my favorite to do only because to me it feels like I'm playing with him! When I'm lying down and he kicks my belly, I softly nudge back to the area of my belly where I felt him moving. This is a great way to bond and sometimes he will even respond with more movement! I love doing this, it is absolutely adorable.
2) Sing!
The baby can hear many different things whilst in your belly, but the noise that is most loud and clear to him is your voice! So sing to him, even if you aren't a great singer. Sing in the shower or in the car, anywhere just to make your baby even more used to your voice. This could be used as a soothing technique even when he is born.
3) Read out loud
This is another way to make the baby become even more aware of your voice. Read anything you want and you do not even have to read loud because your baby can still hear your voice.
There are many other great ideas to build a bond with your baby while he is still in your belly, but these are some of my favorites! So give them a try!
