When to start raising your child? Many people ask this question when becoming parents, but not everyone thinks about raising and developing a child during pregnancy. However, parenting is an important part of the foundation for your child's character.
Remember that even when the fetus has not yet earned hearing and vision, even before the development of the brain and the first heartbeat, everything you do, think and feel affects the unborn baby. Your reaction to pregnancy, the reaction of your partner, friends, relatives, family environment, health and lifestyle - all are somehow transmitted to your child.
With proper nutrition and bad habits, everything is clear, but how can he feel the love or dislike of others? Through your emotions. If you are sad, frightened or upset, your breathing and heart rate are changing, there are many subtle changes in your body that noticeably affect the course of pregnancy. Don't rush to pull your hair out for a fight with your husband or short-term stress at work. We do not live in an artificial world, and it is not possible to create ideal conditions for a cloudless pregnancy. Moreover, hormonal changes make us more vulnerable to all kinds of trouble. You are required to reduce sources of irritation and sadness, fill your life with pleasant experiences, and not focus on problems that arise. Do not eradicate! And to minimize. Goal-setting can help you do this.
Love your baby now. Even if just a few minutes ago you found two strips on a pregnancy test. Talk, talk about the world you live in, find objects to admire and share. Stroke yourself on the tummy and involve the future dad in communication.
Create yourself a filter for incoming information. Limit your viewing of news, action movies, horror films, choose the most pleasant companions for walks and communication.
Don't panic about your test results. Before succumbing to despondency, consult with several specialists, repeat blood tests. Very often, doctors scare pregnant women with their assumptions and far-fetched diagnoses. If there is an opportunity to change your gynecologist to a more delicate one, do not miss it.
Your activities and hobbies also affect your child's development. You can read fairy tales aloud, draw, attend exhibitions, sing, or even develop your ability to learn a foreign language. Parents who spoke multiple languages during pregnancy report that their children showed interest and ability to learn them.
The influence of music on prenatal education is especially worth noting. During pregnancy, give preference to the classics. At the end of the second trimester, your baby will already tell you what he doesn't like and what he liked. This can be determined by his movements. Sharp shocks indicate dissatisfaction, and smooth movements indicate that he is pleased.
Talk to your loved ones, share ideas for fetal development, and ask for support and understanding. Many agree that you need to be softer in dealing with pregnant women, but some people should be reminded of this. Don't be offended if you don't get the "proper" attention. Everyone has their own problems and worries, try to understand and indulge yourself with something pleasant.
Pregnancy, despite all the difficulties and physical discomfort, is an extraordinary period of unity with your child. You can feel his movement, and it gives you joy. This cannot be compared to anything. The extraordinary mystery of the birth of a new life even after the invention of ultrasound and the development of science excites us. Pregnancy is just the beginning of a long journey towards the development of your child's personality. Try to keep your baby happy and calm for the first nine months, and continue in the same direction after birth.
