About the book
 


Books to read to baby while pregnant - 

For you Mama to Read to your Baby Bump (and Yourself)

A sweet rhyme to bond with your unborn baby,
with encouraging words for you

This rhyme has heart! I love how it feels like I'm chatting with baby with words that are filled with love and mean something. I beam when I read this book to my baby bump.

This heartfelt rhyme is written for you to bond with your baby throughout your pregnancy by reading to them as if you're having a sweet conversation about love and life - about things now while they are in the womb, as well as in the future once they are out in the world.

 

Reading to baby in the womb has many benefits for both baby and mama (read all about the benefits here).
 

Reading to baby in the womb is a great way for you to bond, creating a sense of calm and connection for both you and baby. The tones and flow of words when reading aloud; especially rhymes, are different to usual speech in conversations, and are a lot more calming. Reading rhymes to baby in utero helps familiarize them with these calming tones of your voice, that can carry on after they are born with a positive association between reading and feeling calm, helping to foster a love of reading together.

 

This is the perfect book to read to your unborn baby because it was created for both YOU and Baby.


What a beautiful way to bond with bubba in utero while helping to prepare mama for the transition into motherhood at the same time. So good!

This rhyme is for you mama, as much as it is for you to connect with your baby. Transitioning into motherhood - matrescence - is a major adjustment for women physically, psychologically and emotionally, yet it is something rarely spoken about. This real-talk rhyme also acts as an encouraging love letter for you to read to yourself and provides support and validation for your mama-to-be experience, as well as tips gently woven through to help you on your motherhood journey - to help you and your new little family thrive.

I love that there's pregnancy journal pages... I know I'll love looking back at these reflections one day. And I loved writing the letters too! So precious!

At the back of this book you'll find pregnancy journal pages and pages to write letters to yourself, your baby & your partner which are perfect to capture your memories of this season.

 

It’s Mama here,
my little one.
I am the oven
to you, my bun.

I carry you around
with me each day,
but this is not where
you will always stay…

Pregnancy journal and letter writing

Reflection through journaling can be incredibly helpful for monitoring and boosting mental health as a mother-to-be and new mother.

 

Writing letters to yourself, your baby and those closest to you can be very uplifting in real-time but can also serve as beautiful keepsakes.
 

Included in this book are 23 pages for you to write:

For Conception to 4 months pregnant

  • Monthly reflections (This book is intended for mamas-to-be to read to baby from their 5th or 6th month of pregnancy - when baby is able to hear their mamas voice. Space has been left to reflect on the earlier months to be able to look back on, as a keepsake.)

For 5 months pregnant to birth

  • Weekly check-ins (small space to jot down physical sensations, cravings, scans)

  • Monthly check-ins (a page to write about thoughts and feelings; highs and lows)

Letter prompts to write:

  • 3 encouragement letters for you to write to yourself mama

    • During pregnancy (reflection & intention)

    • For birth (intention, mantras, hopes and fears)

    • As a parent-to-be (reflection on your childhood & intention for the mama you want to be)

  • a letter to your baby

  • an appreciation letter to your partner or key support person

Additional journal pages:

  • How did you shared the news of your pregnancy?

  • Space to write your baby name shortlist

  • Space to create your own self-care activity list

  • Birth reflections

High contrast black & white pictures

Fun black and white pictures have been included so you can continue enjoying reading this book to bub once they are on the outside, by simply changing the tense of some words in places to past and present as necessary.

 

For the first 3 months baby sees everything as black, white & shades of grey. The world is generally one big blur for newborns, so anything high-contrast is MESMERISING. High-contrast pictures help attract bub’s attention and develop their focus - read all about the benefits for baby.
