Is it really possible to connect with your unborn baby while inside the womb? Brace yourselves all future moms because evidence shows that you can. Is this good news or bad news, this would all depend on the individual pregnant woman herself. The good thing about talking to baby while in the womb is, it will allow you to lay down some mommy ground rules so as to speak. The pluses are from this is, you can teach baby early, tell baby how much you love him or her, or heaven forbid, them, along with being able to fill them in on all the gossip about the baby goodies you have put by for his/her arrival. How can this be bad news ask the bewildered woman, well if they can hear then what of the cursing that may go on around you and maybe loud bangs, or yelling from domestic quarrels etc. Does baby really need to hear this at such a young age? You decide.
More expectant women today are coming to like the idea of being able to prep and prepare baby for the big outside.
Things to know that can help you educate your baby while in the tummy.
It`s normally around 6 months into the pregnancy when baby begins taking note of the environment ,when it is capable of hearing sounds on the outside. It is at this time where you involve yourself and use your influence in particular stages of baby's development from here on. Some women think it all sounds silly and farfetched to teach baby this way, however we have women that don`t and, what`s more, if they do hear and learn this way then all the better. Helping to give our kid`s a head start in life is what caring parents do whether in the tummy or not.
With the baby in the womb there is clearly a restricted range for what can be taught. Nevertheless, no matter how little it supplies stimulation that will form a vital part of their learning at that stage. Talk to baby and tell them what to expect on the outside this sets a good foundation for their feeling of love affection and security. The chief outer awareness of baby while in the womb is sound. Direct your energies to making the sounds in "your" surroundings comforting and soothing, baby will sense this. Music is a proven stimulation to babies, which many already moms may have experienced with other children they have. It is said classical music helps stimulate the baby's brain and senses. I was never one for classical music and neither was my mum, I suppose this answers a lot a questions I have about myself. As of from today I am certainly tuning into Mozart regardless of being pregnant or not. If it works for them on the inside then there is every possibility it may work for them on the outside.
Your goal should be to make the outside environment familiar to the infant. Everyday sounds, such as vacuum cleaner, liquidizer, water running and other domestic noises are penetrating noises and baby will hear these, maybe muffled but nevertheless they hear them. Babies connect to voices. Getting to know the voice of mum and dad will come naturally. If you are the dad why not try getting up close and personal with your unborn baby. Talk to them while in the womb and let them know who you are and how much you are looking forward to meeting with them. Tell baby how many cuddles and kisses you have waiting for them.
Another external stimulation for baby is light. Some women said that they actually seen a response from baby while in the womb after shining a flashlight onto the tummy. Prenatal teaching, learning and stimulation for a pregnant woman are important for her, her partner and of course baby. The vast majority of mom and dad's think that parenting begins after baby is born, but up to date study is proving otherwise. You can stimulate and communicate with baby while in the womb as soon as you know you are pregnant. The prenatal period (time between conception and birth) is the critical time to establish the basic architecture of the brain and build the foundations for baby's future potential.
According to a statement issued by Dr Thomas R. Verny – the world's leading expert on the effects of prenatal and early postnatal environment on personality development – prenatal stimulation bodes well for healthy fetal development said
"Every minute, there are new brain cells being formed in the unborn child. And as the new brain cells are being formed, pathways or circuits are being formed along the lines that help assist communication for whatever the child the needs. For example, the child will obviously need to breathe, the child will need to move when he is born, the eyelids will need to open and close; so all these organs and all the nervous tissue that supply these organs has to start developing long before birth. It's the same thing with the brain circuits. The more you stimulate a child's skin, or the more you stimulate its auditory nerves (hearing) the more those pathways will develop and become stronger so that when the child is born, he or she is better prepared for the world." And as the world is today it should be a compulsory act for parents so their child is ready for what may be thrown at them when growing up.
Treat your baby as if it were in your arms. Talk and sing, even whisper about the little things you have planned for the future of your baby. This will help them get used to your voice and begin to recognize language formations. Baby can sense loving thoughts, so think them. Use personal experiences to prepare your baby for life after birth. Make an experience out of the little activities you do in your daily life. Talk about these to your baby no matter how mundane they seem – it will be new to your future son or daughter.
Smooth the palm of your hand over your belly while talking at the same time to the infant. Let them know what name you may have planned for them, if there is a response to this like a kick in the ribs then I suggest you think of another name.
Maternal stress although unhealthy for mom, it is also not good for the baby as it has a direct and negative impact on the formation of their personality even as early as in the womb. Scientific research states that parents who practice in prenatal stimulation have a closer and strong bond with their children. Isn't this what we moms and dad want "closeness." If talking to baby while in the womb appears to be a mad event to others, who cares, because we are the ones who will have babies at our side forever, even when they are all grown up.
