3rd month of pregnancy: education to the music of Vivaldi

At this stage, the future baby is already acquiring a human appearance, the spinal cord and brain, sensory organs, heart, taste buds and genitals are actively developing. The umbilical cord with the placenta has already formed. Future baby able to feel the touch of parents on the belly, with loud sounds, his heart beats harder, his eyes react to light, ears – to sounds.

What can parents do?

• Now it is important to “establish contact” with the baby, and it is easiest to do this through music. According to research, classic is the best option – babies in the womb like it more than others, and Vivaldi and Mozart are “useful” for the active development of the brain and the formation of the nervous system.
• As for rock music and heavier genres, they excite the child and even cause fear. Classical music and folk lullabies are soothing, lulling… Having been born, the baby will easily fall asleep (both during the day and at night) to the already familiar melody. “Relax” music – the sounds of the sea, forest, etc. will also be useful.
• Personal relations of the spouses are no less important during this period. All conflicts and misunderstandings will affect after the birth of the baby on his character. Therefore, a caring, warm relationship and caring for each other is now the most important thing.
• No negative thoughts! The child begins to accumulate information, and the mother’s task is to protect the baby from any negativity. All mother’s fears can be inherited by the child, all negative emotions experienced by the mother will be deposited in his subconscious. Not to mention that any mother’s stress affects the baby with hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
• Sing to your little one. Mom’s voice is the best in the world. Calms, lulls, gives a feeling of security. And read fairy tales – kind and beautiful. And if they are in other languages ​​- even better (learning languages ​​with such “preparation” will not be a problem for the kid).

Sports and an active lifestyle at 4 months of pregnancy

Your baby is already making the first movements, ears and fingers are forming.

What can parents do?

• Mom should not lock herself in the apartment and tremble at every step. (unless recommended by a doctor) – Lead an active life, meet friends, take regular walks.
• Do not be lazy to get up in the morning, do not knock down the daily routine. Getting used to watching romantic comedies (for example) at night and cracking sweets, you run the risk of providing your baby with this habit.
• Do not exclude sports from your life. Of course, you should not jump with a parachute, fly in a bungee and conquer the peaks, but light sports are not only not contraindicated, but also recommended.

Your participation in the life of the baby before childbirth is the key to future close and intimate relationships with the child.
• If your spouse is nervous, crying, or angry, calm your baby down. – thereby you smooth out the impact of negative emotions on the psyche of the future baby. And at the same time teach your mother to control your emotions.
• Do not hesitate to spouse and relatives – sing lullabies to the child. The low-frequency voice of the dad, according to research, has a beneficial effect not only on the development of the child’s psyche, but also on the development of his reproductive system.
• Children, with whom both mom and dad spoke before giving birth, tolerate childbirth more easily, and their intellect develops faster.than their peers.
• Remembering in the womb the tender voice and timbre of the Pope, the newborn will just as easily fall asleep with the fatherlike in mom’s arms.

Teaching your baby to relax at 7 months of pregnancy

We communicate with the baby and teach to enjoy life at 8 months inside the womb

Baby already sees and hears perfectly… With the exception of the lungs, all systems are well developed. The brain is developing intensively. The more there is now a positive in the life of a mother, the more actively the baby develops, the stronger his health and psyche.

• Use every opportunity to get positive emotions. Go to a massage or beauty salon, use aroma and color therapy, surround yourself only with good people and beautiful things.
• Your little one already knows your reaction to stressors and positives.… If you learn to quickly cope with stress, and your heart palpitations at this moment will be short-term, the baby will remember your reaction and after birth will delight you with emotional stability.
• The kid is now absorbing information at the cellular level. Explaining to him everything that is happening, calming, suppressing negative emotions in yourself, you are programming the character of a strong and strong-willed person.

Preparing your baby to meet the world at 9 months of pregnancy

Your little one is about to be born. All organs are already fully formed, there is practically no place for the baby to move, he is gaining strength to go out, and your task is to fully help him in this.

Therefore, now is not the time for an active life and noisy parties, resentment, anxiety and despondency. Rest, recharge with joy, knit booties, buy toys and caps, do not overload the body with heavy food… Ideally, if the spouse takes a vacation for this period and devotes it to you and the future baby.

Of course, there is no need to bring the process of prenatal education to the point of absurdity. It makes no sense to read physics textbooks to a kid and quote statements from famous philosophers. Information is a necessary and useful thing, but the main thing in the prenatal upbringing of a baby is the attention and love of the parents.
