Be pregnant of your beloved!
|
In many Eastern and aboriginal cultures, the father is thought to be pregnant of the mother. The village or the community in turn is pregnant of the father and of the couple! Why?
Each appointment in your schedule to make your pregnant partner feel good is the most significant investment in the health and positive future behavior of your child! By nurturing the honey moon effect, through your tender & attentive presence, you trigger oxytocin in your beloved, this renowned hormone of love able to develop the best potentials in your future child for his or her lifetime! By sharing quality time with your partner, you become pregnant of her. - François Amigues |
Pregnancy of the father
Guys are doers!
By François Amigues.
Men want to offer help and support during the pregnancy period but they need direction and empowerment to do it right. In our society where pregnancy has traditionally been restricted to women, men often feel anxious and rejected during this period. This can lead to future dads being potentially more of a nuisance than a help!
Our recommendation to expecting dads is "become pregnant of your beloved". In other words, be your partner's best friend by being very attentive and cultivating "us moment" that make her feel cherished through a "honey moon effect". By making time daily or weekly for shared moments of tenderness and intimacy with their partner, pregnant fathers can positively impact their unborn child because when mom is happy, baby in the womb is happy.

Pre and perinatal psychology is so important to human development!
By Christina Warmenbol.
For a long time, the western world was convinced that an unborn baby was in a paradise-like state for nine months. At birth the baby would be a ‘blank page’. A newborn baby wouldn’t be able to see, to hear or to feel pain.
All these myths have been proven wrong by the discoveries of Pre-and Perinatal Psychology in the last three to four decades. This developing science explores how the human psyche starts already before birth, even from conception on. It studies which elements influence the mind of the unborn baby: his universe is rich with experiences in the womb and with interactions with his mother and father and with the outside world. These prenatal and perinatal experiences program him for a lifetime in a stronger way than in the rest of his childhood.
Prenatal memories that came up in regression under hypnosis, with LSD or in a psychotherapeutic session show that lots of intense moments during the 9 months or during birth have shaped the baby’s view on himself or on others or the world. So he can have decided prenatally that he is not worth anything, he is not good enough, etc. He can develop a belief that in order to be loved, he needs to work hard, and become a workaholic, or be always kind. A difficult birth experience can bring him to the belief that the world is a dangerous place and never in his life find a way out of fear and anxiousness.
The unborn baby is a conscious human being who knows if he is loved or not, welcome or not, of the right sex or not. These findings have followed a long road towards acceptation of the academic world. The idea that consciousness and memory are possible even when the brain isn’t fully formed has been a riddle for many years that in the last decade has found overwhelming evidence. Memories don’t belong only to the brain, but to the whole body in which each cell can have a story to tell. Intelligence is not originated in the brain, but is the total sum of all the functions in the nervous system, the immune system and the endocrine system. All these systems under construction in the womb are influenced by the environment during this sensitive period. The first environment is the mother and the way she interacts with the child. Her way of life, her feelings and her thoughts are the real building blocks of the health of the baby’s mind and body. Through the endocrine system, the hormones affect the baby as much as his mother and at critical times they can interfere with the development of certain organs and weaken their structure or their function. Baby needs to bond with the mother, even before birth. It needs to know and feel that it is loved, that it is safe and secure. The love of the mother is of uttermost importance for the baby to be emotionally stable and strong.
During his intra-uterine development, the baby becomes aware of his surroundings by developing 12 senses, which offer him a rich learning experience. So he can recognize his mother’s voice right after birth, or recognize her scent. He can recognize his mother tongue. He is able to recognize a melody or a rhyme that he has heard repeatedly in utero. So the ‘womb is a baby’s first classroom’ as pioneer David Chamberlain would express it.
How we come into the world influences many important developments: it builds the foundation for the way the body, the heart and the brain develops. It defines how our body system, how our senses develop, how our nervous-, immune- and endocrine system organizes itself and how we relate to the world: the beliefs we install in order to survive in a difficult world.
The beginning of life is a very complex unity and so many aspects can disturb the harmonious unfolding of this incredible miracle. An unborn baby is a very fragile being, exposed to an environment that is not always ready to recognize and respect his needs.
Many situations can then also lead to physical, emotional or mental imbalances or illnesses. Bonding problems, stress and tension, lack of support of the mother, toxicity in the environment, unnecessary medical interventions during birth etc. can damage the normal development of the child: not only the emotional, but also the intellectual, social and sexual development. This can result in violent and anti-social behavior and undermine the health of the entire humanity.
Pre- and Perinatal Psychology has put the finger on the important spot in determining the origins of health, balance and empowerment for each human being in the very beginning of life.
