BEFORE THE BIRTH

Making a connection with your unborn child can strengthen the bond you share, make you feel closer, and enrich you and your baby's lives.
Jeanne Berkowitz is expecting a baby in late January. In October, Jeanne and her husband went to Hawaii for a "babymoon." While there, Jeanne got a massage from a woman who works frequently with pregnant women.
"She told me that it was important to massage my belly often to introduce the baby to human touch and to the world outside the womb," Jeanne recalls, adding that she now massages the baby regularly, as does her husband. "We can often feel him respond by kicking back and changing positions."
Jeanne says she's not an expert on the benefits of prenatal massage, but reports that "it's fun for us, helps us (especially my husband) think of the baby as a real person, and I can't help but think it has to be good for the baby, too."
