Walk With Your Baby

You can take some time out to bond with your baby bump by going for a walk. It’s great exercise and easy to fit into your daily routine, even if you’re working. Going for a stroll gives you space to think about your growing baby without too many distractions or interruptions. Going without your phone or with your phone on silent without vibration can really buy you some privacy by the way. 

You can even have a chat with your baby bump as you go. Taking comfortable walks is especially recommendable if you didn’t do much exercise before you became pregnant. Doing moderate exercises can be a blessing for mother and baby, because the fitter your body is, the easier your birth will be.

Papas Love

Most mums-to-be experience some pregnancy symptoms in their first trimester. This daily physical reminder may help you bond with your unborn baby from the start. Although your partner doesn’t have this physical experience, there are still plenty of ways to help them bond with your growing baby as your pregnancy progresses. Help your partner to feel your unborn baby’s movements. Let them know that your baby can now hear sounds outside your womb. Suggest your partner talks and reads to your baby bump. This will help your baby become familiar with their voice.

I actually had my friend tell me that she gave birth to two girls, just about 1 year apart. To one, the father spoke every night and caressed the baby bump, while the baby was still in the stomach of the mother. To the second one he never spoke. He also didn’t caress her in her mothers womb. The girls have grown to be teenagers, and the first one loves her father endlessly while the second one doesn’t care a lot about him. I was baffled by the difference a regular act of connection can make. Since I have told my man about this, he takes extra time to connect with our kids and they love him very much.

Build A Life Together

Mourning Doves normally build their nests in trees but will build them on the ground, on window ledges, or on other man-made structures if needed. The male looks for a good place to build the nest, and once he finds one he calls the female and she either approves or disapproves. When the female feels right, the build may begin! Because after all, female intuition is also an important guide to building a cozy home. Home – the result of two hearts committed to build a life together.
