When the initial shock is gone its time to start cheering on your little one.
Self confidence is one of the greatest keys to a successful life and moms can cultivate this from conception.
You need to let your little one know that he or she is loved. Being loved gives a sense of security.
How do I do that?
Talk to the child- Give the baby a name I wanted a boy i called my baby Junior; I had a girl but at least when I was talking to her in the weeks before I knew her sex it felt more personal saying Junior -the baby is not an it.
The earlier you begin talking to a baby in plain English the earlier the baby will begin talking back to you. In my family there is no 'gooing ' and 'cooing' we talk straight to babies so they usually end up making sentences before they walk.
Such was the case with my baby girl. We concluded that if you start with 'baby talk the poor child has to learn that and then unlearn it to learn the proper English so why not just skip that . Its better for you when your ten month old can say i'm stinky or i want tea or my stomach hurts. It makes that period when you need to diagnose what your baby is crying about shorter.
begin telling the baby that you love him tell him that he is very important to you
sing to him read to him pray for him
It helps you come to terms with the way your life is about to change and the guilt you feel if you were thinking of him as a mistake begins to subside.
even before the first flutters in your womb you will have a sense of knowing that someone who depends on you totally, does exist.
