Connecting with my fetus in the womb

Pregnant women are advised to have a bonding with their fetus in the womb by talking. Many find it adorable. Talking with the womb becomes more interesting and loving when the fetus starts responding to your voice.

When I was first advised to start talking to my baby, I was like ” How will the fetus understand the language ?”I didn’t take it seriously for many days but my baby started interacting with me by moving and started showing her presence by moving continuously from the fourth month itself.

The funny thing is that I thought it was gastritis since I was experiencing nausea for the first month. So, I couldn’t make out the difference.

One day when I visited the doctor for a regular check-up one of the nurse from the clinic asked do you feel moments of the baby I told her what I feel. She told me it is not gastritis, in fact, it is my baby’s movements inside. I felt so happy I told everyone the baby is moving.

Information from others

I was overwhelmed with nonstop data about how the baby moves and when it will move by Other family members’ personal experiences from both sides. Somehow I kept an open mind to have my own experience.

My advice to pregnant women is to keep an open mind and have your own first and personal experience. No two people in the world have the same experience. Everyone has different experiences, for that try to delete other information which you hear from others.

My best advice would be to consult a doctor if you have any doubts regarding this, they guide you on the right path.

Connecting with my fetus

In the fourth and fifth months, she used to wake me up at 6 or 6:30 in the morning so that I can empty my bladder. After that, she will sleep happily. I was amused by her behavior. Later in the fifth and sixth months she started responding to my voice and started moving

My baby never had sweet tooth like other babies, she never had any preferences. Once I eat to my stomach’s content she will become calm. Since I was advised for bed rest, eating food on time was quite challenging. However, my spouse somehow tried his level best and managed both the office and home.

Few incidents

I still remember the incident when we want to shift home due to unavoidable situations. I was damn worried and stressed I guess she felt my emotions. She was continuously moving and kicking then I told her “Nani mamma is feeling pain, don’t kick like that“. As if she understood and stopped moving and kicking, I was wonderstruck beyond words.

That day I understood she is listening to my words and she is able to understand what I am saying and also able to feel the emotions I go through.

She responds to my spouse in the same way in fact they both used to play. My spouse will come and rub my belly and say “Daughter give hi-five she will respond to the voice by giving a gentle kick”. The happiness we felt when she respond was indescribable.

My baby use to respond to devotional songs and sounds outside, especially to the kids voices.

Few funny incidents

You may wonder 🙂 is this author gone mad how can a fetus reply?? she respond through gentle kicks and moments.

I still remember on Vishu day(festive day) I wore Kerala traditional saree. By mistake, I hit my belly a few times while wearing it. She got angry and stopped responding to me when I talk with her. Then my spouse who is next to me asked her whether she is angry with momma she responded with a kick. We both started laughing after seeing her response.

My fetus love for momma

I felt her love towards me many times like to share a few things. I was advised to take iron injections by the doctor and mentioned the same in the previous blog. On the fifth dose, my hand was completely swollen and painful.

Due to the pain, I started crying and got exhausted, my husband had important office work and he left to office. I was simply lying in the bed I was not in a mood to eat anything.

At that time my baby made me eat food. By continuously kicking and moving. I was left with no choice other than to have food. That day she became my mother and forced me to have food.

Similarly, another day I was upset about an issue and was crying she started moving continuously and stopped moving once I started laughing like normal.

Small advice to all pregnant women

Try to be happy as much as you can, I know pregnancy is a long-term project which takes 10 months duration. In this long period being happy all the time is practically not possible.

Besides this, the different complications one faces each month make you moody. But, try your best to make yourself happy with little things. At least for your little one who lookup for you.

Whoever read this blog article, I guess it brought smile on their face. To all the soon to be mom’s smile and get ready for motherhood.
