How is the baby affected in the womb? Of course, babies' brains do not work as complexly as ours. Their desires and emotional needs are much simpler than those of adults. They can hear us from the 5th month. It is not possible for them to understand everything we say, but their mental development has developed in a way that they can easily distinguish our tone of voice. They can distinguish whether we are stressed or relaxed and happy from our tone of voice.
They also learn the effects of these hormones, as the hormones we secrete during stress reach them. The hormones secreted by a peaceful mother also create a relaxation effect on our babies. Babies of happy mothers know the taste of happiness. Babies of mothers who are constantly under stress feel in an unsafe environment due to the discomfort caused by constantly secreted stress hormones.
All the effects of the outside world are passed on to babies through their mothers. Even sounds reach the mother after passing through her body. At this stage, the sound they hear most is the mother's heartbeat. The sound of the mother's heartbeat is always with them while they experience all their functions, hear all the sounds and feel all the emotions in their own way. Babies somehow distinguish normal, healthy and happy heartbeats.
Thanks to these heartbeats, they fall asleep, play and rest. The human brain symbolizes most information and puts it in the subconscious in the fetus, as in the adult. Here, a calm heartbeat symbolizes calmness, security and love.
Since the sound of a calmly beating, peaceful mother's heart calms babies, can these sounds also be effective in baby care after birth? A study has been done for this. In this study, which was carried out during the period when the babies were left in group rooms, they recorded calm mother's heartbeats on tape every day in one of the baby rooms in the hospital. They expected a positive effect, but the effect was greater than they thought. Babies ate more, gained more weight, had better breathing, cried less and were sick less.
Of course, your heartbeat increases or decreases without your control. It is difficult to control our heartbeat. But there is an easy side to this; our emotions. We can understand our emotions better and be more involved with them. We can work with clay. We leave positive or negative effects on our baby's developing brain through the effects of emotions on our body. Even knowing this is reason enough to review our behavior once again.
It is now known that babies' subconscious is formed while they are still in the womb. That's why, during your pregnancy, you leave a great impact on your baby's character without realizing it. While these effects are positive for conscious parents, for others they settle in your baby's subconscious in the form of traumas. This issue is now examined as pre-natal trauma. In fact, psychologists specialized in this field provide training for mothers and fathers to minimize these traumas. While child psychologists talk about the problems that occur in children, pre-natal psychologists work for the positive development of our unborn child.
Of course, this does not mean that our baby will immediately be negatively affected by every exciting thing that comes to our mind or momentary stress, and this The effect will last a lifetime. No, it doesn't work like that. The hormones we secrete in response to the stress of daily life also pass on to the baby, allowing them to gradually adapt to these changes. In other words, the stresses that babies face in the womb make it easier for them to adapt to life.
In order for the negative effects to be permanent in the baby for a lifetime, learning techniques based on conditioned reflexes must be effective. In other words, the baby must learn this as a result of repeating negative effects for a certain period of time. The most impactful effect at this stage is that the baby is not wanted. Babies somehow perceive this.
In one case, it was observed that the baby did not breastfeed its mother after birth. No matter what was done, the baby rejected the mother and the breast and never breastfed. His doctor, who is closely interested in these issues, came up with an idea. They asked a mother who had just given birth to breastfeed the baby. Even though the baby did not know her, she immediately accepted this new mother and eagerly suckled. To investigate the issue, the doctor spoke in detail with the baby's mother and questioned the pregnancy period; When she investigated, she could not find any infection or trauma.
However, when the issue was further investigated, the mother actually never wanted the baby, It turned out that she was not ready for pregnancy and that she got pregnant completely by her husband's force and that she hated her entire pregnancy. In other words, since our baby grew up with feelings of rejection throughout the pregnancy, he tries to avoid and rejects this mother who does not want him, thinking that he may be harmed. Babies are born with such detailed consciousness. Of course, a loving bond would be established between this baby and the mother, but it is clear that this will take a long time.
Yes, babies learn in the womb and even communicate with you. In a study, they first discovered that babies kick when they hear a noise. However, this response did not occur when a device that created vibration in the uterus was used. Then they used this device, which would first create noise and then vibration in the uterus. The babies responded by kicking after each noise and then vibration.
After a while, just vibrations without noise were enough to get the kicking response. This study is proof that babies learn in the womb, but regular repetition is required for them to learn. These repetitions leave some effects on your baby's subconscious. For this reason, the investigation of some behavioral disorders such as excessive fears and obsessions detected in adults can go as far as the mother's womb and especially the moment of birth. In another study, while investigating the effect of smoking on baby behavior, a state of tension was detected in the baby every time the mother thought about smoking. In this case, the baby's heartbeat accelerates. This tension occurs even before the mother smokes, that is, even when she just thinks about smoking. Of course, the baby cannot see whether the mother smokes or not, but since his brain is developed enough, he can make the connection between smoking and the negative effects it creates on himself.
He knows this from the bad effects of the decreasing oxygen level in the blood on the mother. Even worse, the psychological effects on the baby are very important. He experiences chronic uncertainty and fear. One cannot know when and how severe this painful event will occur until it is experienced. Repeated negative events like these create a conditioned tension-irritability syndrome that is deeply rooted in the subconscious. (Maybe that's why I'm with the baby Could it be that some of us are branded as cranky and restless babies as soon as they are born?)
The best part of this information is that we can use conditioned learning in a positive way. A conscious family can leave lasting positive effects on their babies with all this awareness. The best example of this is the baby listening to and learning music in the womb.
Babies who listen to calm music in the womb relax with this music and learn this music. No matter how tense and crying they are after birth, they respond to this music with relaxation. (We have come across such experiences many times in our families who receive education. The important thing here is the repetition of the same music.)
< br /> When they asked a musician during an interview when he became interested in music, they asked him to explain when he said that it started in the womb. She, who is a pianist, realized that even though she came across a piece she had never played, she could see the notes of this piece and even play it instantly, even before opening the sheet music. Later, when he focused on this subject, his research went back to his life in the womb. He learned that his mother, who is also a pianist, played this piece all the time while she was pregnant with him.
I recently heard a similar incident from a patient of mine. When I brought up the subject of learning in the womb, she excitedly told me that she had experienced something similar to the one above about her first child. She was very surprised when, when her child was 4 years old, she started singing a song on her own, which she had made her baby listen to during her pregnancy but had never played again. Even though his child had never heard this piece, he was very sure that it was due to the learning effect in the womb that he sang its melodies fully.
Another example of a positive impact is the mother feeling safe. Trust is the most valuable gift that can be given to our mothers both during pregnancy and birth. All of the positive effects on the mother, who feels loved, valued and protected, are passed on to the baby both naturally and can be given consciously. Mothers who create a confident and warm environment affect their babies' lives in later life thanks to the positive impact they create with their emotions, dreams, dreams and thoughts.
At this stage, everything that affects the mother Hey, it affects the baby too. The biggest problem encountered during pregnancy is a father-to-be who rejects his wife, does not value her, and puts all the responsibility of the pregnancy on the mother. This concept gives the father a great responsibility in the development of the baby's character while he is still in the womb. The task expected from them is not actually that great; Giving love and confidence to the mother and communicating with the baby. An early relationship with the baby gives confidence and love to the mother, which means the beginning of positive effects on the baby. We now know that if a bond is established, babies know their fathers while they are in the womb. In addition to what we have read about this, the experiences we have had with our own patients prove to us that the father-baby relationship can be established in the womb. In other words, babies can recognize their father's voice, even in the first minutes of birth, who gives them love and talks to them while they are in the womb.
Babies can recognize their father's voice even in the first minutes after birth. This creates the feeling of "I am safe" in them. Therefore, the relationship with the mother's arms and voice is of vital importance for the baby to feel safe in the first minutes when he meets the world after birth. In cases where the mother cannot provide this (such as cesarean section, fainting), the father must undertake this task.
This early father-baby bond is important in terms of self-confidence in the father and erasing the negative effects from the past. In addition, thanks to this early bond, this vicious circle is broken after birth, especially in fathers who tend to spend time outside with their boyfriends in order to gain respect and value. They become fathers who spend time with their babies, communicate with them, and are aware of their responsibilities.
Yes, your babies are trying to establish a relationship with you while they are in the womb. They use their ability to act rather than words to make their voices heard. When you are too tired, they want you to rest. That's why they react by not playing. They express their discomfort by excessively playing loud bad music. When you are at peace, they accompany you with calm movements and make you feel with love. When you are hungry, they react with silence and encourage you to eat. And who knows what they are doing that we don't even know about.
