“A fabulous book for pregnant mamas and bubbas-in-bellies! 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 heartfelt rhyme is written in the first person, for you to bond with baby while pregnant by reading as if you're having a sweet conversation with them about life now, and once they arrive.

The real-talk rhyme also helps to emotionally prepare you for the transition to motherhood. Transitioning into motherhood - matrescence - is a major adjustment for women physically, psychologically and emotionally, yet it is something rarely spoken about. This rhyme provides support and validation for your mama-to-be experience, as well as tips gently woven through to help you, and your new little family thrive.

Includes pregnancy journal pages and letter pages to write to yourself, baby & your partner which are perfect to capture your memories of this season.

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 aloud 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.
