“Mothers may feel that stroking their bump calms the baby in some situations and during public events Meghan may be either consciously or sub-consciously attempting to do this.”
There's other beneficial reasons why Meghan Markle may be cradling her bump.
Katherine Graves, founder of KG Hypnobirthing, said:
“Meghan is practicing responsive natural parenting and touching, speaking and cradling her bump will be very beneficial for the baby.”
Liz Halliday, deputy head of midwifery at Private Midwives, said:
“At public events, Meghan may feel more protective of her baby and thus cradle her bump more than usual."
