A soothing way to bond with your baby is to gently massage your belly. This is safe to do after the first three months of pregnancy, and it's a great way to relax and wind down.
Many women use oils and creams in an effort to prevent stretch marks . However, there's very little evidence that moisturizers and creams work to prevent them. Nonetheless, smoothing on cream or oil can certainly be a relaxing ritual for you and your baby, and may help to keep your skin feeling soft and supple.
2. Go swimming
Swimming is a great way to take the weight off your feet, and it even gives you some idea of what life is like for your baby! Not only is swimming a safe way to exercise but since your baby's floating in fluid too, it gives you a chance to relate to him/her.
Your baby's hearing is developing all the time. From about 23 weeks she can enjoy the daily soundtrack of your heartbeat and the growling of your hungry tummy. She'll also start to hear sounds from the outside world.
Hearing your voice while she's still in the womb helps your baby feel attached to you quickly once she's born.
5. Try pregnancy yoga
Antenatal yoga classes aren't just a fantastic way to relax. They also help you focus on the amazing work your body is doing and pay closer attention to your growing baby.
If you haven't done yoga before it's fine to start while you're pregnant. Yoga poses for beginners are usually quite simple. The best time to start yoga is in the second trimester, after 14 weeks.
