    The other day i heard my coworker saying something and i thought she was talking to me. Later i found she was talkint to her unborn baby! :D How nice!
    I am wondering if you have talked to your unborn babies.
    Do you think it will really work out?

    I spoke to all my unborn babies, i read little stories to them and sung to them too lol
    People must have thought I was mad, but I wasn't bothered lol...It is a lovely bonding time before the baby is born. My husband also talked to them too and im sure the babies recognised our voices too when they were born

    No, i dont think you were mad to do something like that. Thats the thing moms do to their unborn children and i think its a good way for bond relationship. Besides mothers-to-be i think those fathers-to-be can do the same thing to their unborn babies. Thats just sweet.

    Yes I did speak to the bump, but I tried not to do it in public. I told it to hurry up and be born because I hated being pregnant - but I absolutely loved being a mum.

    Hey, babies know what's going on and they definitely can hear the love. I am a believer in sharing the pregnant life with them, playing them music, or whatever.

    I listen to a radio station that has very little music, but there were a couple of theme tunes of things that I listened to every day that the baby started to respond to. When she was born she still seemed to respond to those tunes. I talked to her lots too.

    We did, my hubby and I. We talked and sang to our little one in my belly. :) It is said that this helps with bonding and the baby recognizing people.

    I would if I'd be expecting a baby. It helps bonding with your child. Once your child is born, it will know the sound of your voice.It makes your child feel more secure when it's born and comes into a world with all kinds of new sounds and noises. The voices that he has connected to will give him or her peace.

    Yes I talked, singed, read to my babies when they were in my tummy. I do believe they can learn before they are born and it also is a nice way to bond.

    I will when I'm pregnant, apparently they can hear you in there and I'd like the baby to get familiar with my voice.

    Yeah I did it with my son and I am doing it now as well. I think that it is something that bonds you until they are here and then the bond is more and more closer. I love talking to them because they know what is going on and they will soon know their names and everything. My son basically knew my voice and his dads voice right away. I think that it is good to talk to your unborn babies as well as put music on as well. I try and make a lot of sounds like vacuuming or something like that so at least they can try and get use to hearing weird and unfamiliar sounds.

    I think I would also do that if I will become pregnant. I believe it does work and it will feels good. I had also read before that talking or making an unborn baby listen to good/some kind of music could help them in some way. Maybe in brain development or emotional development.

    I am currently expecting and I talk to my child everyday. Something I will read books or sing to my child. I do believe babies are aware of what is going on because a lot of the times when I do talk to my child, I will fill movements.
  14. I talked to my baby bump... In public or not. And it was usually along the lines of 'Oh, don't do that little one, you're going to leave bruises on my ribs' or where ever they were kicking. LOL

    Now I never read to my baby bump, but since I always sing along to the radio, I suppose you could say I sang to it.
  15. Heatherode New Member

    I plan to!

    My husband I can't wait to talk to our growing baby. We planned it out years ago. My husband has a reading list, even. It will be great bonding time for all of us.
  16. Coffeeaddict New Member

    Sounds a bit crazy for some but I'll definitely do it when I get pregnant. I find it as a sweet bonding of Mom and child.
  17. daisiesndots New Member

    I was always too shy and felt silly to talk to my son when I was pregnant with him. Although I still don't think I will do it with my next pregnancy, I do plan to make a point to read stories to my son while pregnant with the next.

    I talked to my belly all the time. It was my first opportunity to show ( or at least pretend )
    that I was the boss. I made sure to tell my daughter(s) that they were to clean their rooms
    and no sassing!! But I always let them know that mommy was the biggest joker and if I was
    full of anything, besides them that is, it was love. I always thought they heard my voice
    because each one reacted whenever I spoke to and/or touched/rubbed my belly.
  19. Quirky Jessi Member

    Absolutely. I don't think it's a matter of "working" for anything, but more that it's just a way of bonding. I talk to my cats, too, and know they don't understand everything, but it's just the act of speaking to them and feeling connected in some way.
  20. btatro New Member

    Yes :) I don't think I made it a point to do it for any certain period of time or anything, but I would talk to my babies. I would also sing to them and play music... not anything in particular, just something nice and calming. Even if it turns out it has no benefit at all, at least you tried!
