Great thread! I use visualisation. Either sit or lie down (I do it in the bath as I'm most relaxed there, but if you easily get into deep meditation probably not such a good idea! ) Do some gentle deep breathing and concentrate your thoughts inwards ( stop trying to listen to sounds, close eyes, shut the outside world off). place hands on belly and think about bub. start with the toes, visualise the size, colour, how would they feel? then move on upwards (mentally), slowly visualising each part of bub. Imagine the blood flowing through the umbilical cord between the two of you. How must it feel to be submerged in the warm amniotic fluid? Imagine the filtered light shining onto bub from outside your body. try to visualise the sounds of your heartbeat, stomach rumblings, your voice - how does bub hear it? What is he/she thinking? Communicate with bub by thinking of your thoughts and wishes for him/her. Tell him/her how much you love them and want to meet them, your hopes for him/her, what things you will do together. Get in tune with how bub might be feeling. Warm, fuzzy, weightless, jumping around in the safe warm haven. Sing, hum to bub if you want.
HTH. Connecting with bub is beautiful. Good luck hun.
