When we measure the life of a person we consider the day of his birth. However, we exist as an independent being from the moment of conception. This method of recording our age is the idea that fund during the roughly nine months does a pregnancy, intrauterine baby is a kind of benign tumor that grows inside the mother and eventually be expelled to a greater or less effort. And this, that many of us may seem unbelievable, is still accepted today, considering the gestation and birth as a disease over the most wonderful experiences, without taking any account of the emotional needs mother and infant, much less what they represent in the future of the people.
The intrauterine baby, the 3 / 4 months, all organs have formed, pending further growth and finishing, and 6 / 7 months can survive if born prematurely. He is a being in training at all levels. At the physiological level, we are all clear that the fantastic and incredible process of cell division to become two cells, initial (egg and sperm) in a very complex body, both in material, mental, emotional and spiritual, any small deviation this process will have consequences on the future body of the baby, more or less severe as that ruling. Then the same happens with the process of psycho-emotional development, starting from the moment of conception. And speaking of psycho-emotional development is to mention that intrauterine baby can receive, process, store and respond to information it receives.
Channels intrauterine infant perception
Why the baby receives information channels intrauterine? We raise three channels of perception:
1. The inherent sensing organs that develop throughout gestation: hearing, touch, taste, smell.
2. Through the maternal blood the baby receives through the umbilical cord, which contains substances as neurotransmitters or hormones, producing a baby the same reactions in the mother. For example, one of stress hormones, adrenaline, that the mother produces increased heart rate, blood pressure, tension, anxiety, etc. produces exactly the same in the baby. Or the other endorphins, which in the mother produce peace, welfare, peace, etc.. and behave in the same way the baby.
3. The most subtle of the channels, which allows the baby to perceive what he thinks, what he feels his mother is a channel called "Extrasensory Perception" because it is outside the channels of perception that give the sense organs or physiology. We could also call it, from the perspective of the different energies that make up the human body, "Perception Energy" because it is able to perceive the energies of thoughts and feelings.
The evolution of perception
After seeing these channels of information, which give the baby a big and undeniable intrauterine perceptual abilities, we can ask ourselves how it processes that information, what color is the glass that filters out all that information, making it yours, do you feel?
From conception to the more or less, two years after birth, the perception might call it "purely" emotional and, from that age, pre-verbal, where the child begins (Ojo! Starts) the development of rational perception abilities. It is clearly not the same to speak of a baby three months, one year, two, three, four, etc. The difference is in the development of their perceptual abilities and life experiences (learning), including pregnancy and birth.
Emotional Perception-subjective, holistic, intuitive, images, emotionally, is the opposite of rational perception-based objective structured the trial, contrast, logic, reason, "that prevails in the adult. Emotional Perception is subjective, ie inland, making any emotional impact that gets the baby or children will, either rewarding or traumatic, it is their own.
This is a fundamental concept for understanding how the baby "in utero and at birth, and children" feel. " In order to understand how they perceive, process and store information. To understand what the baby and the child needs for balance and harmony.
But in the end, how important are pregnancy, birth and the first years after we did not even remember what happened in those times? For not only are important, but essential to the future of people.
The phenomenon of analogy
In pregnancy, birth and early childhood period is character, the most profound way we are. Are also recorded all of our emotional experiences.
"Analogy" means "a relation of similarity between two similar things." An example of analogical perception is that which occurs when the smell of incense, we are pictures of our trip to India or when we hear a particular song in mind that showing images of romantic first dance. The process is automatic, unconscious. The same happens with the traumatic emotional impacts are stored along with the circumstances surrounding it. They are retarded depth charges, hidden from the conscious mind, ready to erupt in situations "analogous" similar throughout our lives.
It is constructing a "Biography Hidden ', with emotional burdens beneficial or harmful, depending on the sign and intensity of impacts. As adults, similar situations (like or similar), you can pop one of those negative emotional charges, becoming a Pathology Update or symptoms.
Logically, this baby's emotional perception, and children, this finding of the impact on their present and future requires us to rethink aspects of pregnancy, birth and early childhood education.
Gestation
What feels the mother feels her baby. And we have seen how he feels, how it is processed, how it affects you now and in the future. What can we do to make the baby feel happy, accepted, protected, desired, loved?
First, the mother should try to be as long as possible in a state of tranquility, peace, relaxation. Secondly, communication has to maintain a strong, constant, with your baby through his thoughts, his hands on the belly. This tool is also a great relaxation and visualization. When we go into deep relaxation, we reach the emotional perception, which is the perception that the baby is. It is as if we were moving the radio dial to find the frequency of the station you want to hear. Tune with our baby and an incredible communication occurs between mother and baby and vice versa.
The mother should try to avoid negative emotional states like sadness, worry intense fear, anxiety and the continued state of stress. Should be reconsidered, given the above, everything about the working environment of the pregnant woman. Today is not only supportive, but in many occasions the discrimination. Lack understanding of what is the gestation for the mother, physiological changes, their greater sensitivity, the need for quiet, to feel respected, supported in the process. Many pregnant women suffer stress during pregnancy because they require the same dedication and effort, or even more, that if they were not. There are enough studies that show the negative effect of stress on infant development. The risk of babies whose mothers have suffered stress during pregnancy are hyperactive, have motor problems and attention deficit is much higher than for babies of stressed mothers.
The feelings and moods of mothers are related to hormones and neurotransmitters that travel through the bloodstream through the placenta, reach the developing brain of the unborn baby. Prolonged exposure to stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, show the developing brain to react according to the mode of "flight or fight 'throughout life, even improper. Moreover, the efforts of the mother in the love and joy, fills the same endorphins developing brain and neurohormones "positive", such as oxytocin, which promotes a sustained sense of well being.
Emotions and even thoughts of a mother directly affect the "configuration" of the mind. Having a child is the most wonderful experience and worth living in all its intensity, with all our senses open, with all its emotional charge, and from pregnancy.
The role of the father during pregnancy
The parent can and should be more than a mere spectator in the pregnancy of his partner. It has two important functions. The first, knowing that the mother needs a balanced emotional state, you should make effort to make your partner feel loved, together, understood, supported, in the process of pregnancy (including fulfillment of the traditional cravings). The second, the onset of the affective bond with your child, putting their hands in the womb, talking, singing, playing with him. It has been found that if the father has established this relationship with your child during pregnancy, the baby born recognizes her voice from that of other men, reacts with pleasure in his arms, sit quietly with him. For its part, the father, shows a very emotional parental instinct than others, so far, to take her baby for the first time, had not real aware of his paternity.
