Hearing the soft sound of the pregnancy bola will soothe and reassure the little one and fill the feeling of lack.
According to traditions, bolas are worn from the beginning of pregnancy until the last week of pregnancy. But the ideal is to wear your bola from the 15th week. It is from this period that the baby's inner ear is formed. So he will be able to hear the ringing.
When the baby has grown up, the jewelry can be worn differently. Simply remove the beads inside the pregnancy ball. Obviously, this is only possible if you have opted for a bola that can open. Either way, this pregnancy jewelry will always have its place in every woman's jewelry collection.
