Pregnancy and Fertility: Connecting with Your Baby When You Are Pregnant

It is true that you are intimately connected to your baby when you are pregnant. Indeed you share every breath.

However, as with any other relationship, sharing the same phsyical space does not guarantee harmony and peace.

One way you can enhance this connection is to explain to him from time to time what is going on in his development. You can let him know, for example, what part of his body is growing this week.

You can reflect back to him the truth that, in some miraculous way, he knows exactly what to do to create the healthy body he wants.

This particular exercise is very valuable for a number of reasons. First, your baby feels heard when his ‘work’ is acknowledged and admired.

Second, it sets the tone for your baby to begin to notice his own acheivements. Being able to see one’s wins in a quality of successful people.

Third and most important you are bringing your attention and his to the wisdom within.

Sometimes as parents we feel that we have to teach everything and guide every step, that we are alone in the process.

But we are supported and loved. In noticing your baby’s innate capacity to move forward effortlessly in the direction of wellbeing you are tapping into the bigger picture in which both of you are safe and loved just the way you are.

In joy,
