Parents often follow along with fetal development during pregnancy, but what does your baby actually experience inside the womb? What’s it like in there? How can you make it the best environment possible? All that and more in this episode:
In this episode I cover:
- Why look beyond “fetal development”
- How baby experiences time in the womb
- Did you know? Babies are graceful, not jerky, in the womb
- How to create the perfect womb environment for baby
- And how Daddy is especially good at this 🙂

- Handling stress if it’s getting bad
- Building relaxation and connection into every day
