Why Emerson calls the prenate vulnerable and how that impacts early development
By Christina Warmenbol.
The unborn baby is an aware, sentient being, conscious of the life it is starting, and conscious of his surroundings, aware of his mom’s feelings. It is a rudimentary consciousness that is not able to reason about his experiences or put it in a philosophical perspective. That is why we can say that it is at the mercy of his direct environment (his mom) and his broader environment: he is a vulnerable being and can be easily traumatized with lasting effects on his further life.
The prenate is vulnerable from the complete beginning: the moment of conception, where the first cell is influenced by subtle but powerful dynamics between the 2 gametes, in the journey of the morula towards the uterus and in the process of implanting. The prenate is physically and psychologically vulnerable because in his fragile growth he is dependent on his mom’s physical and psychological state of health. He is affected by the physiological processes that are happening in his mother’s body because emotional states of the mother reach the baby as hormones and biochemical substances that intervene in the development of his organs and body.
Medical procedures that are not explained to the unborn or that are not necessary are possible traumatizing factors. But especially stressful life circumstances that are overwhelming for the mother such as conflicts, separation, violence, financial hardship, death of a loved one etc. can also affect the emotional state and the development of the baby. As the baby is a conscious and sentient being, some events in baby’s life can have big impact such as intention for abortion or failed abortion, previous miscarriage and loss of a twin in utero. The unborn baby is also very receptive for the belief systems of the mother: beliefs about herself and about the world are internalized by the baby. An event can become traumatizing for the baby when it is repeating itself before or during or after birth. The fact that parents are not aware of this vulnerable state makes him even more vulnerable. Later in life, all life experiences are perceived according to earlier traumas: all events in life reinforce earlier trauma and are called recapitulations. The complications of birth become often recapitulations of earlier trauma. Unresolved prenatal trauma impacts the bonding process that predisposes the child to destructive and violent behavior.
Other results of the unacknowledged and unrespected vulnerability of the prenate can be low self-esteem, insecurity, relationship problems, learning difficulties and depression. It is time the world wakes up and recognizes the dynamics of the development of the human child before birth so that every unborn can be protected.
