Mothers can bond with their baby throughout their pregnancy. Babies need to have their most basic needs met. From their mothers' body they receive the nourishment needed to grow and thrive outside the womb. Mothers must establish a healthy pregnancy lifestyle to make sure their baby is getting all he needs to be healthy at birth. This means having routine prenatal visits to your doctor or midwife, eating a healthy diet, and establishing a routine exercise program.
Mothers can connect with their unborn baby through touch and relaxation.
When a woman massages her belly using both hands, hormones are released which relax the uterus. This in turn calms and relaxes the baby. Try to be relaxed during pregnancy. Take time to pamper yourself. This will let your baby know that everything is alright, and that he is safe and secure.
