- Shared Emotions: If you're crying, your baby experiences that emotion as if it were their own.
- Preparation for Life: The gestational period is a time when your baby is getting ready for life outside the womb.
What this Means
This emotional connection highlights the importance of managing stress and seeking support during pregnancy. Creating a positive and nurturing environment can benefit both you and your baby.
