| Communicating With My Baby In Utero |
|
In recent years, many studies have shown that parents can communicate with their unborn babies by using a few basic techniques. It has been shown that babies are quite aware of the world around them even while they are in utero. To test this theory, many experts suggest rubbing your belly and paying attention to the reaction of your baby. Do you notice the baby kicking or changing positions? If so, this is a great way for you to establish a connection with your baby and have him respond back. The communication connection between you and your baby can begin anytime; it's never too late to start. |
| Getting Started |
|
Getting started is as effortless as taking a few moments out of each day or setting aside time during the week to sit down and focus your attention by talking and sharing with your baby. You may decide you want to share details about the family he is a part of or details of current events. However, if this seems like a difficult task to begin, it may be easier to try reading a favorite book to your baby instead. Another idea is to try singing a soothing song to your baby. (Some research has found that an unborn baby will respond with gentle kicks or punches to a pleasing rhythmic song.) These activities can also be shared by your partner and any other children you might have. |
| My Own Experience |
|
While I admit I have not taken much time to sit down and talk to my baby, I do like to sing and find myself regularly singing to my baby. Additionally, my toddler son loves singing to the baby and reading his books to my belly. (This is especially true now that I am in my third trimester and he can really see how big my belly is getting and better understands what is happening.) My husband also likes greeting my belly when he comes home from work by touching my belly and directly talking to the baby. While I suppose we'll never really know the extent to which our baby hears or understands us, it is still nice to attempt to interact with her and have her get used to our voices and the world she is about to become a part of. |
