I do not read to my belly specifically and didn't with DS but I do talk and sing to baby. We did start reading to DS within his first month though and he loves to read together so I read aloud many times a day right now.
I never talked to or read to my baby when I was pregnant. I also don't talk much during the day so I'm pretty sure she didn't know my voice until she was born. It didn't cause any problems.
Nope, although DS likes to read a lot, which means handing me a book and having me read it 5 times in a row and then switching to another book, so baby will hear that.

No not really. We've read a couple of our kids books out loud just because they're funny but not necessarily directed at my belly. I also don't talk to them. That seems awkward to me when I try. DH likes to sing and play music for them tho because it usually perks them up.
We read to baby/belly. H likes to read because he feels connected to baby and it helps him practice reading in a kid friendly vs. monotone way. It's part of our nightly routine!

I read to DD but not to inside-baby. I started reading DD a bedtime story every night when I went back to work at 11 weeks and will probably either include baby on her story time or do story time for the baby early on, too. Reading/talking to my belly feels weird to me. But I sing "to myself" when in my head I know it's for the baby.
I don't yet, but probably will sing or talk to the babies. I'm almost certain that if we get gifted baby books, MrRama will read (and sing/talk) to them because he's the kind of guy that would like that intimacy.

I will melt into a giant puddle of goo the first time I hear my husband read out loud to our baby. I can't picture him doing it at all because it just doesn't seem like the type of thing he would do, but I'm sure he will once we have an outside baby, and it will absolutely melt my heart...

So many dads are just gooey husbands in hiding. I can't wait to see mine, too. *hearteyes*
H and I both do. He does more than I do, because it makes him feel more connected to her. He's gone out and gotten some books, which I think is the most adorable thing.
