This is how I felt while pregnant with my first daughter. We were making a mother-child bond. I would concentrate really hard on my baby. She would then reward me with a kick, or a squirm to let me know she was alright. I can't think of a more nurturing way to connect than through meditating or daydreaming.
Mothers can also connect with their baby through music.
If you put a tape player with headphones on your belly while lying down, and play a lullaby or classical music, most babies, in the third trimester, will respond by kicking or moving. A baby will also respond to his mother's voice, whether you are humming or singing, your baby can hear you and knows you are with him. Mothers and Fathers can both bond with their baby by nurturing their own relationship. After all, the baby was conceived out of love, and needs to feel that love throughout pregnancy and life.
