Stress is known to cause labor and birth to be more difficult and uncomfortable, and is a contributing factor in many complications of pregnancy, such as high blood pressure and premature labor. Research now shows that your emotional state affects the brain growth and emotional development of your baby. The pre- and perinatal period and early infancy have a profound impact on our mental, emotional and physical well-being. Babies need to feel wanted and loved right from conception. Dr. David Chamberlain, a well-known psychologist who has done research in prenatal development, psychology and bonding has said,“ Considering all we know today about the realities of life before birth, we must reset the clock on parenthood. To start parenting early, you cannot miss the period from conception to birth! All the new facts of life plead for parental involvement and participation in the powerful matrix of intimate interactions that take place in the womb. Pregnancy is parenting de factor. Parental influence on a child is at its peak during construction in utero.
Creating is what early parenting is about--creating a physical body and brain, creating emotional foundations for living, and establishing a rich connection with the prenatal self. „ Did you know that all of your unborn baby’s senses are developed by the time he or she is 23 weeks old.
