The child is still in the womb, but she can't wait to talk to him. There is nothing unnatural in this, because you need to start communicating with your baby right from this time.Stories to read for babies in the womb (32)

In a child who is in the womb, sense organs begin to form from the first days of life. From 16 weeks, the baby begins to hear, and from 20 weeks, when he begins to move, you already understand his moods, it is during this period that you can already understand each other and fully communicate, because he needs your affection and attention so much. nine0003

The child and mother are very strongly connected not only physiologically, but also psychologically, now he is a part of your body, because he is not yet able to survive on his own.

Pregnancy and childbirth is an ordinary miracle. The first book of the expectant mother

Hello, dear readers! First of all, I want to congratulate you on the fact that you have decided to give birth to a child, and perhaps even two or three at once!

Children are truly a real treasure! They fill our life with meaning, make it bright, rich, like an exciting adventure.Stories to read for babies in the womb (38) You will definitely never get bored with them. They give us so much joy! When a woman watches a laughing baby, dopamine is produced in her body - the “hormone of joy”, which stimulates a person to new achievements and helps to cope with stress. In addition, demographers have proven that although children make our life more stressful, they prolong it! One explanation for this fact is that those who have children prefer to lead a healthier lifestyle. Of course, a child will change your life. Instead of rush jobs at work, you will have joy from the first smile, the first tooth, the first step of your baby, and instead of the boss’s notations, you will hear the word “mother”. However, the birth of a child does not mean the end of your career. It is not necessary to stay at home with him until his 18th birthday. And you can also have fun from time to time. Nanny, grandparents will stay with your baby while you go to the store, cinema or restaurant. But among the bonuses that give birth - a new sensuality.Stories to read for babies in the womb (39) nine0003

Many women experience vagin*l org*sms only after childbirth. Scientists have found that motherhood improves a woman's memory and her ability to learn. After the birth of a child, the shapes and sizes of individual areas of the brain change. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding increase the size of cells in certain areas of the brain. In addition, the perception of a woman who has given birth is sharpened, she is better oriented in smells and sounds. Of course, parents have a great responsibility, because the life of your crumbs depends on you not only while he is a baby, but also in the future. The fact is that it is the time spent in the womb and the first years of life that leave the clearest trace in the subconscious of a person, which forms the future life and determines various events that will make him unhappy or happy, sick or full of strength and health. But you can do it! The main thing is to love your child with all your heart. nine0003

Popular wisdom says that children of love are beautiful children.Stories to read for babies in the womb (40) When the sowing season comes, the seeds are taken and the soil is prepared. Thinking people who want to have a child will take care of the quality of the "seeds", will try to prepare the "soil" in the best possible way. It has been proven that the state of health of a woman in the months before trying to get pregnant has a big impact not only on the health of her unborn child, but also on how easy the pregnancy and childbirth will be. Many complications can be prevented if properly prepared for them. During pregnancy, the child copies the state of health of the mother, exacerbation of her ill health. The physical condition of the father also plays an important role in the health of future generations. It is known that a new generation of spermatozoa in the male body matures in an average of 72 days. So with the systematic poisoning of the body with cigarettes and alcohol, it is not necessary to talk about healthy heirs. Therefore, for the happy nine months of pregnancy, both future parents should begin to prepare in advance.Stories to read for babies in the womb (41) nine0003

Suitable age for having a baby

Doctors consider the optimal age for the first pregnancy to be between 21 and 26 years of age. By this time, puberty has already been completed, the hormonal background is stabilized, the body is young, the tissues of the ligaments and joints are elastic, which facilitates the normal course of pregnancy and childbirth. However, in most developed countries, the age of women expecting their first child has increased. Previously, the desire to become a mother arose in women by the age of 20-23. Women of the 21st century become psychologically ready for motherhood at the age of 27-0, and sometimes even later. And the thing is that the role of women in society has changed. Before the birth of a child, she needs to have time to get one or more higher educations, make a career, change several sexual partners, and only after that decide on motherhood. The level of modern medicine allows a woman to give birth at 30, and at 40, and even at 50 years old.Stories to read for babies in the womb (42) nine0003

Late motherhood (and we are talking about the first birth) has its advantages. In adulthood, a woman, as a rule, takes a responsible approach to the birth of her first child, she already has an established career, good financial security. However, the "aging" of primiparous causes concern among doctors. They do not object to the emotional and psychological state of a woman, but they are sure that a younger age is physiologically optimal for the first birth. Indeed, you should not postpone the birth of the first baby for a distant “later”. Since, firstly, the ability to conceive decreases with age, the chance of getting pregnant, compared with twenty-year-olds, decreases by 2 times, and by the age of 40, the probability of spontaneous pregnancy is only 10% compared to them. And secondly, in women older than 35–40 years, the likelihood of various gene disorders at the level of germ cells increases, and this can cause congenital diseases, including genetic ones, and malformations in the child.Stories to read for babies in the womb (43) In addition, women over 35 during pregnancy are at risk of exacerbation of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, complications with the kidneys or liver, etc.). But the complicated course of pregnancy adversely affects the health of the child. It is not uncommon for women over the age of 35 to have a caesarean section, as the likelihood of a long and more difficult birth increases. Therefore, to reduce the risk of complications, take care of your health now, before pregnancy. In addition to the generally accepted examination, women over 35 years of age should have a mammogram before pregnancy. It is also advisable for both parents to consult a geneticist. Don't be afraid of difficulties. Most women over 35 give birth to healthy babies. nine0003

Previously, it was believed that the age of the father has a lesser impact on the health of the unborn baby. Now, French scientists have found that starting from the age of 35, male reproductive abilities are deteriorating and postponing fatherhood threatens with miscarriages in partners.Stories to read for babies in the womb (44) Therefore, they believe that gynecologists should pay attention to the age of the father and inform the couple about the influence of this factor, and not focus only on the age of the mother. In addition, the solid age of the father (more than 50 years) can cause such a congenital disease as Down syndrome. nine0003

The opinion that childbirth rejuvenates a woman is a myth. At any age, bearing a fetus, a woman experiences severe stress. The birth of a late child does not delay the onset of menopause, although it reduces the number of menopausal complaints.

If a woman is practically healthy, she does not have chronic diseases: hypertension, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, complications with the kidneys or liver, then she may well give birth after 40.

Planning the time of conception

Conception in summer - childbirth in spring . Conception occurs in one of the most prosperous period in terms of weather conditions and saturation of the body with vitamins.Stories to read for babies in the womb (45) This time is favorable for the most vulnerable first trimester of pregnancy. The birth of the baby and the lactation period will occur in the spring season. This is a period of hypovitaminosis, so both mother and baby will need enough vitamins.

Fairy tales during pregnancy for the baby

Structure of the article

Conversation with the "tummy" strengthens the future understanding between the child and parents

Telling your child about what happened today, about your day, you will instill confidence and peace in him. Such communication helps the formation of the brain and the rudiments of cognitive functions. As for reading books, it instills a desire to learn in the future. When you communicate through music, you instill in your child a sense of beauty in utero. If you often sing or listen to music from the outside, the child's musical ear develops well.Stories to read for babies in the womb (53) nine0003

The child recognizes the voices of those whom he heard more often during his life “in the tummy”

When not only the mother, but also other close people talk to the child, the child begins to react to their voices earlier, calms down faster. Conversations not only help the development of children, but also have a positive effect on the physiological state of the pregnant woman. You establish an emotional connection with each other. Feel each other's desires. When an affectionate name or some code word sounds from the lips of a pregnant mother, the child reacts tactilely in utero: pushes, moves, spins. And after birth, these words soothe him. nine0003

Communication with a child improves the course of pregnancy

Communication with a child does not require preparation, just listen to your intuition. Involve your husband, the father of the baby, in such a wonderful cause. Studies have been conducted on how the baby responds to examinations during pregnancy.Stories to read for babies in the womb (54) Scientists noted an interesting point: the children with whom their mothers spoke before the ultrasound lay very calmly, could suck their fingers or hold their hands in their fists, but the children with whom their mothers did not speak were restless, wanted to hide, and closed. CONCLUSIONS are that uncertainty and stress affect the child even before his birth, so it is important for him to voice all that a woman experiences during pregnancy. nine0003

Good news improves a child's mood

Communication with a child is important when no one interferes, when you feel relaxed and not embarrassed. Many choose the time before bedtime, when you can calmly lie down, there is a spouse nearby, who can also be actively included in communication.

When should I start communicating with my child?

“Mom and dad came to the wise man, who had a baby and who was only 5 days old. The parents of the newborn asked the sage a question: “Tell me, please, when should we start raising our child?” nine0198

To which the sage replied: you are exactly nine months and five days late.Stories to read for babies in the womb (55)

You should start talking to your baby as soon as you know you are pregnant. And very often it happens that it has not yet been confirmed, and you already feel that a new life is born inside you, you feel a small heart in your heart. When you talk together, look at nature, beautiful things, your hearts communicate, and at this moment there is that connection that we call blood, with which you will always understand your child without words! nine0003

Ways of communication with the unborn child

1. Physical contact

  • Establishing a connection with the intrauterine baby through touching the mother's abdominal wall, stroking the tummy.
  • Such communication will help you establish an emotional connection with the child during pregnancy and teach you to understand the state of the child by his movements. In addition, communication with a child before birth helps to reduce a pregnant woman's feelings of fatigue, anxiety and fear, as well as conscious childbirth and easy child rearing.Stories to read for babies in the womb (56) nine0047
  • Babies who feel contact with their mother during fetal development are born calmer, cry less and worry at night.

In further development, the child adapts better at school, is not afraid of new situations, does not conflict with others and easily joins the team. In a word, they are more social in society and successful in life.

2. Music

  • Currently, scientists have proven that listening to quality structured music by a mother during pregnancy strengthens the child's neurons, promotes the formation of a close functional connection between the cerebral hemispheres. As a result, children have a greater ability to learn, to master reading, foreign languages. They have a very finely developed ear for music. nine0047
  • The best thing that mom should listen to during this period is Mozart, Vivaldi, Liszt.

3. Tips for parents: “How to talk to a future child?”

  • Scientists have proved that the baby's hearing develops very early: the baby hears and understands everything while still in the womb, so talking to him is not only possible, but also necessary.Stories to read for babies in the womb (57) This stimulates its development.
  • The future child needs to be told about how mom and dad love him, about how impatiently they are waiting for the birth of their long-awaited little one. The kid should talk about how wonderful, kind, smart, talented he is. Conversations with the child in the womb should be very tender and sincere. nine0047
  • Choose free time for daily communication with your child, for example, every time before going to bed. If you talk to the baby at the same time, each time he will look forward to this moment when he will again hear his mother's native voice. The child will get used to your voice and recognize it. This practice also helps to better feel like a future mother, strengthen bonds, feel your body, your child in it.

so I also comment on everything I do. but I say that it is not I who do it, but WE. and already so used to it. I sing songs, in general, it will not turn out that I lisp with him, but simply tell how we live. what we buy him.Stories to read for babies in the womb (58) how we are waiting for it. nine0023 The husband also talks to him every evening. hello. asks how he got on all day. until the folder saw us. how I behaved. Did you feed on time? well, everything like that :-)

oh girls, everything is soooo cool. I’m ready from today to learn how to talk with my tummy))) only we don’t have it yet. too early. everything is so cool))
I also have a favorite singer)

“LET'S TALK” TO THE STOMACH

Being in the mother's womb, the child is an equal participant in the events in which the mother is involved. In nine months, he not only becomes attached to his parents, but also builds relationships with them. Of course, provided that the mother herself makes contact with the baby.

In Yaroslavl, perinatal psychologist Natalya Mitrushina helps parents to teach mind-reason “big tummies” to parents.Stories to read for babies in the womb (59) She graduated from Demidov University with a degree in psychology and received additional internships in perinatal psychology in St. Petersburg and Moscow. This branch of science studies the relationship between parents and their child during the period of feeding, birth and gestation. For three years now, Natalia has been showing moms and dads how to talk to unborn children, and is very offended when a mother calls her unborn baby a “fetus” or, even worse, an “embryo”. nine0003

IT WAS BETTER
WITH THE MIDWIVE

In general, science paid attention to such communication only recently, literally ten or twenty years ago. However, one should not think that women of previous centuries did not think about their connection with the child. In India, for example, mothers were encouraged to meditate, sing and draw.

Russian women are also not born with a bast - their faith in signs and various slander was unshakable. So, in pre-revolutionary Russia there was a set of rules and signs regulating the behavior of a pregnant woman.Stories to read for babies in the womb (60) The midwife played a special role - she passed on her knowledge and skills, thereby helping to endure and give birth to a healthy child. nine0003

But the miraculous technology and medicines that appeared soon overshadowed perinatal education, giving way to childbirth guidance. This is how the responsibility was transferred from the expectant mother and her family to the medical institution.

Since then, parents have stopped thinking about communicating with their baby. Then what kind of normal human communication can be expected later, when the child grows up?

Scientists now believe that this is what led to the appearance of abandoned children, a large number of caesarean sections and problems within families. nine0003

In May of this year, Natalia went to St. Petersburg for a congress, where specialists from various fields discussed issues, in particular, those related to the role of the whole family in preparing for the birth of a baby. She says that scientists all over the world agree that life after birth is only a continuation of intrauterine life.Stories to read for babies in the womb (61) Judge for yourself: already at five or six weeks the central nervous system is formed, at 9-10 the child begins to distinguish taste, during the same period he actively moves his arms, somersaults in his “house”. He can even remember the offender of his mother: it is noticed that the child remembers the voice that causes tears or resentment in the mother. Subsequently, after hearing similar sounds, the baby may burst into tears. nine0003

The fetus first develops the sense of touch. The child may even feel "tactile hunger" from lack of communication with him. Mom should talk to the baby, pat on the tummy and determine the answer by his pushes. While in the womb, the child hears the songs that his mother sings to him. It has been proven that children whose mothers sang during pregnancy are balanced, easier to learn, more capable of foreign languages, more diligent. Natalya recommends that parents listen to classical music, leaving hard rock for later, even with their mother's special love for it.Stories to read for babies in the womb (62) Although, of course, the main thing is that you like the music. It is very important not to stun the child and not cause aggression in him. nine0003

It is generally accepted that a pregnant woman should surround herself and her child with pleasant and beautiful things. The store shelves are full of CDs with collections of relaxing music for pregnant women and aids for developing an ear for music in the womb. Let's consider together why it is so important to listen to music during pregnancy, and which songs will bring the greatest benefit to mom and her baby.

Influence of music on pregnancy

Medical researches of the last decades have proved that children in the womb can hear and remember the melodies that their mother listens to. For example, if you often sing a lullaby while still pregnant, then after the birth of the baby, the same lullaby will help him calm down much faster than any other, even the most correctly chosen melody.Stories to read for babies in the womb (63) This fact of intrauterine memory seems surprising, but it is confirmed by the research of the largest scientists from Finland, Germany and the USA. That is why it is important to make a playlist in advance and think about what music you can listen to during pregnancy. nine0003

In addition, it is mother's singing along with the sounds of mother's voice that stimulate the same areas of the child's brain that are responsible for speech. Thus, the more a mother sings for her baby while he is still in her belly, the sooner he will be able to master the language when he is born.

However, music has a beneficial effect not only on the baby, but also on the pregnant woman herself. Women who regularly listen to soothing compositions and lullabies are much less nervous, do not suffer from depression and causeless anxiety. They also stabilize the level of the hormone cortisol, which is responsible for the stress response. It's no secret that pregnant women often worry about trifles and cannot calm down for a long time - such behavior, among other things, is associated with too high levels of cortisol.Stories to read for babies in the womb (64) nine0003

Meanwhile, not all music will benefit a pregnant woman and her baby. Music that is too loud or has an unusual range of sounds can, on the contrary, cause a lot of stress in the baby and lead to nervousness and anxiety in the mother.

What kind of music is good to listen to during pregnancy?

Doctors recommend three main groups of compositions for listening during pregnancy.

  1. Calm classical music - among the creative heritage of such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Strauss and others, one can find a significant number of lyrical calm or cheerful melodies. In addition to a calming and relaxing effect, such compositions develop an ear for music and a sense of beauty.

Tatyana has become a mother!

))) Fairy tales that pregnant women can read to their baby:
communication with a child during pregnancy.Stories to read for babies in the womb (71) Belly conversation. Almost all expectant mothers mentally establish contact with their unborn child. They know, well, what can a bulging tummy understand?

Today there are many schools for pregnant women - traditional and innovative, and many of them tell future parents about the importance of raising a baby even before his birth - this is prenatal pedagogy, a modern trend in science and psychology. This technique suggests that the child already in the early stages of pregnancy reacts differently to various external factors, including music. nine0003

About music and hearing

Many expectant mothers listen to during pregnancy music — it accompanies us everywhere, and the baby also becomes its listener in the womb.

Some moms-to-be put earphones on their belly - but will the baby hear them? What to choose for a young music lover? Does music harm the embryo and is it worth practicing prenatal education at all? There are no exact answers to these questions.Stories to read for babies in the womb (72) However, we somehow bring up the baby in the womb - we talk to him, sing to him, stroke him, and these are the basics of education. nine0003

For many years, the question of whether the child hears while in the uterus was controversial, since there was no confirmation of this data. But experienced obstetricians claim that the fetus definitely hears - after all, already in the seventh week of his life, the hearing organ is formed, and at nine weeks you can see the ears on an ultrasound scan.

The bones in the ear, which are responsible for conducting sounds, are formed by eighteen to twenty weeks - from this age, the fetus accurately hears everything that happens inside and outside the abdomen, albeit with some muffling, due to the walls of the uterus and amniotic fluid. nine0003

From the 24th week the baby in the stomach distinguishes the frequencies and timbres of voices and sounds: sharp, low and loud sounds frighten him, light, melodic ones amuse him, and sometimes he even dances in his stomach to energetic rhythms.Stories to read for babies in the womb (73)

How does the fetus hear?

Would you like to imagine how the fetus hears music? To feel it, turn on the melody and dive in the bath under the water. The sound of the mother's heartbeat and the peristalsis of her intestines, the sound of breathing and motor vibrations are added to the sounds of the outside world. nine0003

The shorter the gestational age, the narrower the frequency range. After 20 weeks, the fetus can distinguish sounds in the range of 500-1000 Hertz, as the fetus grows, the range of sounds expands - it distinguishes the lowest frequencies within 100 Hertz, the highest ones reach 4000, the child does not perceive low and very high frequencies.

According to some reports, hard rock and heavy metal have such frequencies that unbalance the immature neurons of the fetal brain and lead to their death. Therefore, if a woman is an avid metalhead, it is worth reconsidering her addictions a little, at least during pregnancy. nine0003

Developing the musical taste of the baby

The baby can “listen” to music through his mother, if she turns on the player and listens to sounds, or by putting headphones on the stomach.Stories to read for babies in the womb (74) However, not always your taste and the taste of the baby coincide. Contrary to popular belief about the need for classics, not all children love it and “listen” calmly. Many babies begin to actively push, demanding a change of record.

By the beginning of the sixth month your baby is 9 years old 0101 twenty three - twenty six centimeters.

At this time, the baby is already building various grimaces, wrinkling his nose and moving his eyebrows. In addition, he diligently masters various movements, swims and frolics in his warm and cozy "pool".

The baby is already big enough and his heartbeat can be heard not only with ultrasound, but also with a stethoscope.

I would like to note that the heart of a little baby beats about twice as fast as ours, adults. His heart rate is about 120-160 beats per minute . There are quite a few myths about this, for example, that the heart rate of girls is higher than that of boys, and thus the gender of the unborn child can be assumed.Stories to read for babies in the womb (75)

But since we are supporters of the medical approach, we do not engage in “fortune telling on coffee grounds” and believe the results of ultrasound diagnostics.

Starting from the twenty-third week a new magical stage begins - your baby begins to distinguish sounds and hear voices. So, this is the time when it's time to start reading fairy tales, singing lullabies and talking to your miracle, which is so conveniently located in your stomach.

Prenatal psychologists of the Center for Maternity, Natural Development and Child Health say that it is very important for a baby to hear not only his mother's voice, but also his father's. Ask dads to talk to the baby, pay attention to him. This will not only bring pleasure, but also unite the family even more. nine0003

The baby, still in his stomach, gets used not only to the voices of his relatives, but also to the motives and melodies that he heard while in the womb, but also listens, calms down when he hears a familiar voice or motives.Stories to read for babies in the womb (76)

By the twenty-fourth week your baby is already the size of a large ear of corn and about eight hundred grams of scab.

From this moment on, the baby's skin begins to smooth out, wrinkles become smaller, and weight grows more actively. The body begins to store fat by the time of birth. nine0003

The health of the expectant mother deserves special attention.

At the sixth month of pregnancy, about 20% of pregnant women begin to suffer from iron deficiency or latent anemia.

What symptoms should I look out for?

If you are familiar with one or more symptoms, gynecologists of the Center recommend taking tests to check the level of iron and ferritin in the blood.

How can iron deficiency be compensated? nine0358

Experts recommend including foods rich in this trace element in the diet:

In order for iron to be fully absorbed, it is necessary to carefully monitor the state of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.Stories to read for babies in the womb (77)

The singer remembered that she was constantly crying.

Almost a year ago the singer Yulianna Karaulova became a mother for the first time. She gave birth to a son, whom she and her husband, sound producer Andrey Cherny , gave the name Alexander . As it turned out, after giving birth, the artist fell into an emotional state similar to postpartum depression. The young mother remembered how she felt after the birth of the long-awaited baby.

Yulianna was still in the hospital when she felt an incredible surge of emotions. Due to a hormonal surge, Karaulova began to cry and could not stop. The young mother understood that she felt this way precisely because of the hormones. “I just sobbed all day! It happened on the third day after giving birth. I realized that I was crying for no reason. I felt bad and terribly sorry for myself. A child was lying next to me, this is incredible happiness, but I could not stop, ”said the 34-year-old star.Stories to read for babies in the womb (78) nine0003

Yulianna Karaulova with her husband and newborn son

“The doctor came (and I had to be discharged the next day) and said that I was not ready to be discharged yet and left me in the hospital for another day. Then I slept for a couple of hours, I was let go. I realized that hormones are to blame. I was aware of this because I had inappropriate behavior. I know women who have this period is delayed. God forbid, of course! — quotes Yuliana Karaulova edition of “StarHit”. nine0003

It is worth saying that Yulianna Karaulova announced her pregnancy after the release of the video for the song “So Strong”, in which she appeared with a rounded belly. The artist's son was born on May 29 in one of the Moscow maternity hospitals. Julianna shared an important event on her personal blog just a few days after giving birth. “The most important moment in my life. And the most special person!
