Getting to know your baby
Taking time as part of your daily routine to think about and bond with your unborn baby is known to release oxytocin, a hormone which can help your baby’s brain to develop.
You can try this by:
- talking or singing to your baby, and encouraging your partner/family/other children to do the same
- massaging your bump
- having a bath
- trying pregnancy yoga
- practising hypnobirthing
- playing music to your baby
- using an app to help you understand how your baby is growing and developing, such as the Baby Buddy App.
