We have four other kids, two of whom are toddlers, so baby hears my voice all day long. Every once in a while, I'll talk directly to her. But all three kids (who can talk) and my hubby talk to her.

Awww thank you ladies so much!!!! I'm also a teacher and finishing up my last 3 months of grad school. We're definitely connected when music plays and he started moving and I'm singing. Or when my students see I'm getting frustrated with them, some will call out "listen the baby feels our teacher emotions" lol.. these comments were helpful

I didn’t talk to my first and I felt very connected to the pregnancy. This pregnancy has been very difficult so I feel guilty for not connecting with him but I know when he’s here it will be completely different. They know your voice even if it’s not directed at them!

I didn’t intentionally talk to my first or this one but I’m a teacher so my work day is filled with my voice. Your baby may be hearing more of your voice than you think even if you aren’t directly talking to them.

I didn't talk to my 1st bump who is nearly an 8 months old baby and I haven't spoke to this bump either, it just doesn't come Into my thoughts haha but I'm so busy I forget im pregnant until she moves then I'll say oh theres your sister or something but I don't have a conversation etc with it

Everyone is different. I feel very connected to my baby, but talking to him often feels forced, so I don’t do it often. Just do what is right for you, not what the apps/books tell you you should be doing to create a bond. You will form a bond in your own way.

I talk to him all day long especially when he's moving and my daughter talks to him a few times a day as well .

I don't think you should worry about not having a connection though your baby hears you all day long regardless if it's directed at him or not. Your busy now so you can be more attentive when he's here good luck momma !!!

My daughter talks to him more than I do. She gives him a "check up" every day.
