Garbh Samvad: talking to your baby in the womb

Garbh samvad means 'dialogue with the womb'. It is one of the most loving and simple Garbh Sanskar practices.
When baby can hear
The ear structures develop by mid-pregnancy, and by the third trimester babies respond to familiar voices. Speaking earlier still helps the mother feel connected.
What to say
Tell your baby about your day, the people waiting to meet them, or what you hope for them. Read a story. Sing. There's no wrong way.
Include your partner
Babies learn other voices too. A father or partner speaking every evening builds a bond before birth.
