Hi, its me heather again. I was just wondering with the big meltdown I had today, do our emotions effect our babies? My mother tells me everytime I start feeling sad tht the baby is gonna be an emotional baby because the way my pregnancy is going I am very emotional. So I am wondering is this really true and if it is, what can we do to make ourselves feel good all the time? I just feel like I am having a constant p.M.S anybody else feel this way? Thanks for your help.
Lots of love,
heather

Yes emotions can effect our babies if you can try to take a warm bath and relax put on some music and light a candle while you do it that may help you out some trust me I have been there alot, also getting in bed with a good book is nice you could even read you a book in the warm bath

hope this helps

Great!

I got me this nice bath set for christmas. It comes with salts, a mask with like gel in it (they say it cools your eyes) the pillow, the body scrubber and a facial scrubber. I will wear the mask, especially for my eyes which are so swollen, Sad

it will work out great. Thanks again I probably would have got in and forgot to bring my bath bag, lol.
Lots of love,
heather

I hope ur bubble bath does wonders for u, oh and by the way I think our emotions would play a part on the baby after it is born or anything

That Is What I Thought

I thought so, is that why sometimes we have fussy babies, cause we were fussy? I don't really understand the whole thing about what our emotions do to our babies. Thanks a bunch girls!!!

Yes, ive read lots of research that says emotions do effect the baby and that they know when you sad and happy. Weird huh!

Weird

Yes, it is really weird, but I think it is cool. I mean when I am sad I don't want my baby to be sad, but I think it just shows how much our babies are bonded to us. I think that is gonna be the most awesome feeling in the world! Thanks girls
lots of love,
heather

Everything you feel your baby feels, kinda like everything you eat the baby eats. And it is funny even when you arent pregnant your child knows that you are upset, if I am crying sean starts crying. Then I have to take my mind off of myself and onto him!!

Its hard

i love those bath sets!!Exspecially when my belly hurts!!
