These are just a few tips, because you will realize as the weeks go by that you will find a way to connect with your baby in very special ways, but if you are lacking ideas or initiative, keep reading!
Talk to him every day
I still remember when I was pregnant and I spoke to my baby for the first time… I felt weird. I couldn't help it, it seems like you're talking to yourself, but you're not because your baby will be listening to you as soon as his hearing is developed. I got into the habit of explaining the things I was doing every dayI also liked to tell her about my positive emotions every day. I felt that every word was heard by him and because of that, I loved doing it. Now that my son is born, I keep explaining things to him… and he loves to listen and ask me.
read in loud voice
If you can't talk to him out loud because you feel extremely strange, you can read out loud. Think of it as a great way to give your baby the opportunity to hear your voice, to know that you are his mother. Nor is it a coincidence that babies at birth know what their mother's voice is ... He has been listening to you through the weeks of your pregnancy!
Mom's voice is comforting and calming for any baby and is the best of all voices in the world. So that your baby knows what your voice is, read a story or whatever you want to read ... you will be surprised by the feeling of connection that will awaken within you.
Play in the moments of the kicks
A wonderful moment for any mother is when she first notices the movement of her baby within her womb. It is noticed as a small movement at first and then as the baby continues to grow the movements become more frequent since the little one has less space to be able to accommodate. That is why many mothers describe kicking their babies during pregnancy and they know that it is an ideal time to start interacting with him.
You can start to play with your baby and touch his foot or the area that protrudes more so that he knows that you are touching him and thus he will move more actively in response to your interaction with him. It is something magical!
Sing to him
I have already told you how important it is to talk to your baby, you can do it by explaining what you do every day or by reading a book. But another great way to connect with your baby is to sing to him, it doesn't matter if you think you're doing it right or wrong… your baby will love it anyway even if you don't have the perfect pitch. Your baby loves your voice so singing nursery rhymes is a great idea. A) Yes, when your baby arrives in the world you will be able to sing those same songs to him and you will be surprised when you discover your baby calming down before your melodies.
Imagine your baby's face
All pregnant women like to think about what their baby's face will be like, so much so that dreaming of the baby being born and seeing his face is common among pregnant mothers. It is fun to think about the baby, to imagine him, to think about what his hair will be like or the color of his eyes. If later when your little one is born you have been wrong in everything or almost everything you thought about, do not worry, because it will be an amazing surprise to discover her wonderful face. But what matters with this little exercise is promoting positive feelings towards the baby that is growing inside you and that you will soon be able to hug.
Plan activities for postpartum
Before the baby is born, it is a good idea to plan activities for after delivery. Once you have recovered from a cesarean section or natural childbirth it is a good idea to have activities designed to do as a family and / or with your baby, this way you will feel more encouraged to do them. For example, you can think about going to a special park for a picnic, taking some special family photos with professional photographers, thinking about starting some family traditions, etc. They are things that will fill your life and that you can do when your baby is in your arms.
These are some ideas that you can keep in mind to connect with your baby even if he has not yet been born. But you must also know that you must work on your own that connection with your baby, be aware that you have a being inside you that you are taking care of from the moment you found out that you were going to be a mother because you were pregnant. And it is that a woman is not a mother the moment her baby is born, she begins to be a mother from the first minute that she knows that she is pregnant.
