There is a tiny bebe growing inside of you. And some days it may feel as though being pregnant is crazy tiring, but try and make time to connect with your baby along the way.

When the baby starts kicking and moving, take a moment to enjoy these special movements.
Everyone bonds with their baby bump differently during pregnancy. Just as they do once their mini is born. So don’t worry if you don’t have an immediate connection mama, everyone moves at their own pace.
How to bond with your baby bump

It’s important to nourish your beautiful growing bump and use this as a way to connect with your bebe at the same time.
2 // Talk or sing to your baby
Yes, your baby can hear you, so talk to them or sing to them throughout the day.
