The second samskara, performed once the pregnancy is visible and around the time movement begins. Its roots are in the Atharva Veda.
The rite marks and blesses that stage of the child's development.
Procedure, duration, materials and whether it can be performed in your absence depend on your circumstances, so I discuss those with you rather than list them here. Wording on this page is awaiting my review.
