My boyfriend talks to her sometimes, but not all the time. When she moves he puts his hands on my belly also to feel her at times, usually when she's moving I'll say "look babe, how cool!" And he will watch her move. He's very very big on touching my belly in public, and rubbing my belly (: it's beautiful. I feel extremely calm and so loved when he shows his affection like that publicly. I just think it's amazing and I've already seen such a different side to him, and I love him so much more then I thought I could. I didn't think there was any room to love him more then I already did, but I do and I know it will be so much stronger once she is here.

My boyfriend talks to my belly and I think it's really sweet, since they aren't there every second of every day like the women are I think it's a sweet bonding for them. Our baby boy plays right back with his father when he talks to my bump.

She definitely knows when daddy is home...she goes crazy. He says that shes just ready to be in his arms ;-)

My son's father talked to him while getting a 3d Ultrasound. At first he was just lying there but when he heard his dad's voice at only 28 weeks he began to laugh and smiled for a very long time. We were able to get plenty pictures of it but that's proof that they respond to voices, he'll also move closer and they play games together. It makes me feel happy and at peace when they communicate while he's in the womb. I can't wait to meet him and see his reaction when he recognizes our voices.

My boyfriend did this my whole pregnancy :) I loved it. It made me feel relaxed and calm and it made our son move like crazy. They played games too it was so amazing. I think it's a great thing to do because the baby really does recognize voices and my son and my boyfriend have an incredible bond

My fiance does it all of the time. Before bed, in the morning, before he leaves for work, and when he gets home.. sometimes even when we're cuddling and watching a movie. He loves feeling him kick as he talks to him lol (: and sometimes that's the only time I can get him to move haha he loves hearing his daddy's voice and since he's with me 24/7 he probably gets sick of mine haha

My hubby used to do it often too but only when i was in mexico so now he cant i came back to th U.S, but when we are on the phone he talks to baby. Makes me feel wonderful and i know baby is happy because he/she starts to move alot when he/she hears him.

I absolutely love him talking to the baby. Its like she knows when hes off work cuz thats when shes most active supper sweet. I think they do sense the person talking since my
Daughter talks to her also and she moves. My son on the other hand feels weird doing it so I try to put his hand on my belly when shes moving and she stops lol

Mine wasn't interested either because he really couldn't feel it. Said that baby couldnt hear him anyway...Once the munchkin's movement got stronger I picked the time he was most active and let hubby feel it. Since then he enjoys it, even sang once and munchkin moved in response! Pick your timing. Fyi I had a talk with him before that to let him know that I needed him in certain ways and it's not about him right now but about me and baby and how we feel. If he upsets us baby would get used to mommy being upset at the sound of daddy's voice... he amended his behavior after that. Maybe yours will come around after the baby arrives. They are usually not on board until then. You are other wrong or needy. You are pregnant. Since helped, he should be more actively participating in this as well. I'm getting a doula anyway though. Good luck!

Aw thats so sweet! I think the same that the baby can recognize the fathers voice, and i think its important, and it must be lovely, but i think some men feel awkward to do it, dunno how to go about it

I Don't think It's silly. For one They say baby's in the womb can recognize voices and They sense the way mother's feel So If We are upset Or stressed Or calm They feel That. When my bf talks to my belly I feel very happy and relaxed and calm and If The baby can hear his voice and sense how I'm feeling When He Is talking to her Then I feel Like She will feel even more safe and connected to him When She Is born. I could be wrong but I Don't know I Just feel Like They will have a really good bond. When He talks to her He Just lays close to my belly and rubs It and says I love You kailaya I can't wait to hold You and see You. Sometimes He will Tell her He's excited to see how cute She will look in All The stuff He bought For her. And He tells her She's our special little princess.  It's sweet and Sometimes She will move around and push towards him When He does It.
