Is it important to feel a connection with your unborn baby?

Everyone experiences pregnancy differently but I believe that mothers have an intrinsic connection with their unborn baby whether they realise it or not. Studies have shown that babies in the womb think and feel more than we used to know. If we look at it that way, connection to your unborn baby is important to a child's mental and emotional development. Just my two cents :) http://www.parenting.com/article/what-babies-learn-in-the-womb
