We all love to sing, whether we're good or bad at it. We sing in the shower, on the drive to work, and even to our babies.
Singing to your baby during pregnancy may feel weird at first, but it's actually good for them.
A study has discovered that mums who sing to their babies in the womb develop a strong bond with them.
According to Healthline, babies start hearing during the second trimester, but they start to respond to sounds in the final trimester.
If you've found yourself singing lullabies or your favourite song to your baby then it's actually having a positive impact on both of you.
Researchers found that singing has positive effects on your emotional state, as well as your stress levels.
It also helps a mother bond with her baby before they're even born.
The team stated, "Promising effects of music and in particular singing on maternal well-being and perceived closeness during pregnancy appeared.
"Prenatal music and singing interventions could be an easy to implement and effective addition to improve mood and well-being of the expectant mother and support mother-infant bonding."
We'll be singing Taylor Swift songs from our second trimester. There's no doubt our baby will love the ten minute version of All Too Well.
