Prenatal bonding

Prenatal bonding refers to the emotional connection that develops between a parent and their unborn baby during pregnancy. It involves thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that foster a sense of attachment and care, such as talking to the baby, imagining their future, and feeling movement. This bond can promote emotional well-being for both parent and child, support healthy pregnancy outcomes, and lay the foundation for a strong relationship after birth. Engaging in prenatal bonding activities helps parents feel more connected and prepares them emotionally for welcoming their baby.
