It is not unusual to worry about your pregnancy, particularly if you have had experienced difficulties conceiving, miscarriage or other challenges in your fertility.
When you do become pregnant sometimes there is a fear of really connecting with your baby just in case the pregnancy comes to an end.
Along with this, there is the myth that you should not really tell others about your pregnancy until you have passed the three months mark.
As a result, instead of a sense of celebration about being pregnant- new parents may postpone the joy of really connecting with baby until they are more sure about the viability of the pregnancy.
Talking To Baby to Support The Pregnancy While you may be inclined to protect yourself, the reality is that you are pregnant and have a baby now and that this precious moment will never return.

Every thought you have is shared with your baby.
When you are feeling happy and optimistic about the pregnancy you convey to your baby that all is well.
When you talk to your baby, you make a connection with this new life and communicate your desire to get to know him or her.
