The benefits of prenatal singing for mother and infant

Abstract

Prenatal singing promotes wellbeing during pregnancy thanks to the physical and vocal exercises involved. The songs can serve as a tool for expressing feelings and emotions and favour communication between the mother and infant. The voice's deep sounds, particularly natural during childbirth, are combined with breathing and create vibrations which support the woman during contractions. Doing the exercises again after the birth help her to regain a feeling of bodily fulfilment.
