A device for allowing for spoken communication between a pregnant woman and her fetus. The device has a speaking tube component connected at one of its ends to a mouthpiece component and at its other end to a stomach-piece, megaphone-type component. The speaking tube component is made of flexible and soft plastic to allow for reconfiguration to suit the size and stage of pregnancy of the woman. The stomach-piece component has a canted annular edge surface to allow flush positioning against the stomach. The pregnant woman speaks into the mouthpiece, the sounds being amplified and sent to the megaphone-type component positioned against the abdomen so the fetus may hear.
