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

It depends on individual. Some mummies may feel not connected as still unable to touch/hold the baby in their hands. For me, I would like to connect with my baby before he/she is born. What I do to connect with baby: every night I will place my hands over my tummy to feel the movements/kicks, whenever I notice baby is kicking I will gently tap back to let him know I am here, I have decided a name to call him to connect with him. I managed to get a 4D ultrasound scans for this pregnancy and I can see how does he looks like. The picture is very precious to me and I paste it in my bedroom and I look at it few times before bedtime.
