Garbh samvad · 5 minutes a day

Garbh samvad for the second trimester

Between weeks 18 and 25 your baby begins to hear. This is a beautiful time to involve the father and family.

Steps

  1. Breathe together. Sit with your partner, both hands on the belly, three slow breaths.
  2. Introduce voices. Each family member says their name and their relationship to the baby.
  3. Tell a story. Share tonight's story or a family memory in a few sentences.
  4. Bless. Close with a wish for the baby's qualities — kindness, courage, wisdom.

Words you can say

  • “This is your papa. I'm here, and I'll always be here for you.”
  • “Tonight's story is about Prahlad, who stayed brave and kind.”
  • “हम तुम्हारी प्रतीक्षा कर रहे हैं, तुम हमारी खुशी हो।”
  • “May you be brave like Abhimanyu and kind like Prahlad.”
