Find a comfortable and quiet space where you can relax and focus inward.
Gently close your eyes and take a slow deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it for a moment and then exhale softly,
Releasing any tension you may be holding in your body.
Allow each breath to bring you into a deeper state of relaxation.
As you settle into the space,
Bring your awareness to your growing baby.
You might not feel their movements or see them,
But know that they are with you,
Growing and developing in their own quiet way.
Imagine the connection you share with your baby.
Though unseen and unfelt in the physical sense,
It exists deeply within you,
A bond of love and care that is already growing.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Invite feelings of warmth,
Love and gratitude to fill your heart.
You are already a parent and this love you carry for your baby is beautiful,
Is a powerful force.
Let your heart open wide,
Creating space for this bond to grow and deepen with each breath.
Now imagine that you are sending love to your baby through your breath,
Through your heart and through your thoughts.
Picture this love flowing gently like a soft light surrounding your baby and creating a protective nurturing space around them.
Know that your love is already guiding and comforting them,
Even before you can see or feel them physically.
Take a moment to reflect on how this bond might feel.
Perhaps you feel tenderness,
A quiet joy or a deep sense of connection.
Imagine that as you continue to connect with your baby,
This bond will grow stronger with each passing day.
Even though you may not yet have physical contact,
Your heart and mind are already in tune with your baby's presence.
Allow yourself to sit in this quiet space of connection,
Embracing the love that is already forming between you and your baby.
There is no rush,
No need for physical signs.
This connection exists in the quiet moments,
In the feelings of peace,
Love and nurturing care that is already present.
Now take a few moments to silently speak to your baby.
Send them loving thoughts,
Offering them peace,
Comfort and protection.
Trust that they are feeling your love,
Even in this early stage of their development.
This bond transcends the physical,
It's emotional,
Spiritual and heart deep.
Take a moment now to rest in the warmth of this connection.
Know that this love is always available to you,
Whether you are feeling joy,
Uncertainty or anything in between.
Your relationship with your baby is a constant,
Growing connection that will continue to evolve as you both journey through this experience together.
And when you're ready,
Bring your awareness back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
And when it feels right,
Open your eyes.
Carry this sense of love,
Peace and connection with you as you continue through your day.
Remember your bond with your baby has already begun.
You are nurturing this connection with every breath,
Every thought and every moment of love.
