Bond with the Fetus

A Comprehensive Guide to Connecting Through Ultrasounds

Forming a bond with your baby is an important part of the experience of being a parent. Whether it's during pregnancy or after delivery, getting to know your baby is a special time. Watching the little bump in your belly become the person you'll be so close to for years is an incredible feeling.

Getting ultrasounds during pregnancy can help you bond better with your baby. Many people find that watching their baby grow inside the womb helps them develop a stronger attachment. They get to see their child on ultrasound, which gives them something tangible they can remember and helps build anticipation for the birth. 

Seeing your baby's beating heart and tiny hands and feet on the screen can be overwhelming and cause a range of emotions, including excitement, joy, anxiety, and even some fear about being a parent.

Here's how you can form a better bond with your little one through an ultrasound:

  • Take pictures or videos to keep as souvenirs and review later when your phone runs out of memory!

  • Bring friends and family along as support and share in the joy together.

  • Talk, sing, or read aloud while viewing the screen—your baby may recognize familiar sounds.

  • Spend extra time looking at and discussing each feature—a nose, chin, mouth. This will help you imagine what your little one looks like.

  • Imagine what kind of person they will be once they enter the world.

  • Remember that an unborn child can feel love, so let them know how much you love them from now on!


Take some time to get prepared and make the most of your visit. Ultrasounds can be exciting, but it's also normal to feel anxious or overwhelmed. Try to take some deep breaths and relax before and during your scan.

It is also important not to leave with doubts in your mind. Ask your doctor questions during or after your scan as they come. Think about bringing a friend or family member along for emotional support. They'll also get a chance to initiate a bond with the baby!

Bring photos of your family and friends and show them to the baby during your ultrasound appointment. This way, when the technician takes pictures of the baby, they can also capture moments between loved ones!
