The Importance Of Talking To Your Baby During Pregnancy

Many women think that it is not so important to talk to their baby during pregnancy,  mainly because the fetus may not hear anything. However, the truth is that it is incredibly beneficial and important for babies to start hearing their family voices while inside the womb.

By talking to your baby during pregnancy, it helps with his or her neural and emotional development. Furthermore, it is an important way to create new bonds with him or her. This activity can be very exciting because babies can often respond to certain voices by moving.

Hearing is the first sense that develops in babies. When babies reach 24 weeks, they can hear. The mother’s voice moves in vibrations that go through her bones. Thereby, the baby can feel them when it is in the womb.

The importance of talking to your baby during pregnancy

It is important that babies hear their mother’s voice because it will arouse their desire to listen. They will also start moving or playing with their body, turning around and bending their legs. Furthermore, they can kick or jump to the rhythm of their mother’s voice.

The sound of the mother’s voice can eliminate babies’ stress and anxiety. This is especially true in the last stages of pregnancy.

When it reaches the 36th week of pregnancy,  babies can differentiate between their mother’s voice and other sounds. They are also more sensitive to loud noises. For example, a door that slams, music and sounds outside the womb.

The father’s voice does not have as high a frequency because it is an external stimulus. However, it is still important for babies to hear their father’s voice.

Babies in the womb are, as a rule, more active and receptive to stimulation at night. Talking to your baby at night will help him or her feel more comfortable and loved. Listening to her parents’ voice one after the other will help babies distinguish between them.

What to say to your baby during pregnancy

While mothers talk to their baby,  it is important to cuddle the tummy to give a feeling of warmth. Many women do not know what to say to begin with.

To get started, you can talk about what you made during the day or what you bought. Furthermore, you can tell your baby the color of his or her room, as well as how you are feeling while you are pregnant.

You can also sing songs or tell stories, emphasizing sound imitations. Moreover, it is also a good idea to share this activity with the father. That way, the fetus can feel the emotional connection between mother and father.

On the other hand,  it is also a good opportunity to listen to music. In that case, you need to choose appropriate tunes for your baby. We recommend that you start on this after the fifth month when the baby’s ears are well developed.

Benefits of Talking to Your Baby During Pregnancy

Communication

Dialogue strengthens the relationship between parents and their baby during pregnancy. This causes babies to respond to everything that goes on outside the womb, both good and bad.

Feeling of well-being

Talking to your baby during pregnancy helps keep the baby calm. Furthermore, when the baby is  born, the voices of the parents can easily make the baby feel safe when he or she is unable to sleep. Just by listening to their voices, he or she will be reassured.

Develop skills by talking to your baby

Talking to babies before they are born will stimulate their language skills. Furthermore, it will encourage the development of hearing at an early age. It will help prevent problems with language or interpretation. 

Babies love it!

Babies love to hear their mother’s voice. It promotes their emotional and neural development. Furthermore, it causes them to kick, jump and move in the womb.

Talking to your baby during pregnancy is the start of a good relationship between you and your baby. Feeling him move inside your stomach when he hears your voice is one of the best experiences you can have.

Talk lovingly with your baby to help ensure appropriate development. Many skills start with taking shape while your baby is still in your womb!
