Only if you are worried or sad always - endorphins etc cross the placenta.
If you have a stressful or bad day, try to take some time out and have a warm bath, or do a facial, put some good music on, give yourself a treat, watch a feel good movie, feel your belly and talk to your baby, pass through some good vibes

I'm sure he/she (do you know) just curled up and had a sleep through it, then cheered up with you when you put your feet up.

Just so long as you have happy days too you will be fine, -you're coming up 4 months aren't you? You baby should be starting to recognise your voice by now and to enjoy music as well.

Take care honey Wink

I'm 16 cms today Smile my doctor says i'm a big 4 months though not gaining much weight at all Smile hahah aww i'm gunna have a big baby. I talk to the baby all the time. Is that weird? And like my husbnad comes up to my tummy and says goodnight and I love you to the baby and all its adorable. We had a check up today for blood work for down syndrom and spinal bifia (sp) and like just a weigh in to see how I was feeling. I am usually in a pretty good mood. I just got some bad news yesterday and was so down. So like I didnt want my baby to be sad. I cant wait 13 days!!!!!!!

Wow its great that you husband talks to your bump too.
Especially now that hearing is developing, it means that your baby will recognise hs voice too when it is born, although it may still prefer yours as womens voices are more sing song and of a higher pitch.

No, its not weird at all, keep talking, tell it about your day, what you are doing, what you think and feel - would you feel silly doing that if your baby was in a buggie? It's no different you are your sepcial baby carrier - be its tour guide hehe Wink
