Stimulate baby was only done when he was born, but from the womb even Moms can stimulate your child by telling with her belly rubbed. Despite past talk, Moms actually stimulate growth had little brain in the womb!

Yes, stimulation of the best voice is the voice of their own Moms. Sound stimulation is useful to stimulate fetal brain and the newborn to perform motor movements.

To know when the right time to stimulate baby, read this article.

18 weeks pregnant, fetal brain stimulated
According to developmental psychologists Harold I Kaplan, Benjamin J Sadock, and Jack A Grebb, stimulate baby's brain could be done since the age of 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. In fact, according to the homunculus-emerged in the mid-century baby has a psychological and biological development from conception occurs (the process of cell meeting of sperm and egg). Therefore, the unborn baby even begin to react to stimuli from the outside.

For example, early-trimester fetus has a spontaneous behavior repeated? Called habituation-like thumb sucking. Or anything else, he can adjust to the outside with the sound response of muscle contraction, movement and changes in heart rate.

While based on the theory psychogenesis, the baby's brain raced at the age of the second trimester. As a result, babies can remember the situation experienced by Moms. For example, the biological mother did less well when pregnant like saying rude. Now, though later the baby was not cared for by her birth mother? Because his mother died, he still could say rough because remembering what his mother conceived him over.

Mother's voice quickened heartbeat
Because fetal nerve cells powerful, so do not delay Moms to stimulation or stimulation. Strive to provide stimulation Moms bring positive energy, do not say bad things, avoid the worry that one day soon will affect the baby after birth.

After all, naturally, when baby hear mother's voice, active pulse. But, when heard the voice of others, heart rhythm slows. When the rhythm becomes active, the baby also keeps Moms words in memory. This is called cognitive stimulation.

At the same time, emotional fetus has developed too. Thus, no wonder when the baby played songs? Classical music for instance? so her feelings would be touched. This is called affective stimulation.

Similarly, while stroking the belly, there a touch of the fetus through the skin Moms, that form of physical stimulation.

MOM key role in the family. If a mother had abused or acts of violence, risk offspring born with low weight or grow as a dwarf child.

Growing up in addition to the developing child is determined adequate nutrition, it also affected his mother's psychosocial conditions. This statement is at least proven by a recent study in Bangladesh.

A study published Archives of Disease in Childhood editions in October 2009 concluded that children born of mothers who experienced violence (abuse), risk of being born with a small and growing body of developing a stunted runt.

Previous studies showed that the physical and sexual violence on women, the risk associated with them to give birth to babies with the condition of low birth weight, also associated an increased risk of fetal mortality.

To explore more information, Dr. Kajsa Asling-Monemi and his team from Uppsala University in Sweden, to birth weight data from 3164 children and analyzing the data growth of up to 2 years of age.

The mother of these children (a total of 4436 mothers), most are housewives who do not work, with an average age of 26 years old when the study began.

Half of the mothers were known to have become victims of domestic violence (domestic violence). As many as 14 percent experienced physical violence, such as slapped or pushed, and 8 percent had more models of physical violence such as hit, kicked, dragged, and even strangulation.

Approximately 8 percent of these women also experienced some violence during pregnancy. In addition, 24 percent of whom reported experiencing sexual harassment, and the other 28 percent also claimed to have experienced psychological violence such as insults, humiliation, and intimidation.

At birth, the children in the study had an average weight of 2.7 kg. Approximately 33 percent of whom are categorized Low Birth Weight, ( LBW ) weighing 2.5 kg or less. Children entering LBW group were mostly born to mothers who had experienced domestic violence.

Furthermore, children born of mothers who experienced domestic violence nearly 42 percent of very thin, 13 percent less food, and more than 55 percent of impaired growth develops, the stunt now reached the age of two years. Conversely, groups of children born of mothers who are not abused (not experiencing domestic violence), only 37 percent are very thin, 11 percent less food, and nearly 50 percent of the dwarf.

Relations between battered women and children increasingly growth disorders higher after investigators traced the background of maternal education, frequency of delivery, and religion.

Based on the analysis, Asling-Monemi and her team concluded that women experienced domestic violence can affect two things, namely the risk of giving birth to smaller babies than their normal size and growth delay in children up to age two years.

Healthy Start Since in The Womb
It is a holistic health (overall). Not only physical health but also mental and social. These three things are important parts of the developing child to grow.

A healthy child is usually synonymous with intelligent. Well, the intelligence gained from the child learning from this environment starts in the womb. Efforts to improve the quality of the developing child grows covers five periods, which started before the mother became pregnant, during pregnancy, childbirth, infancy and toddler, until the time of school and teen age.

These efforts conducted jointly by the mother, father, family, environment, and schools.

Children are a gift that must be preserved and celebrated his presence. It is hard to do when the mother does not have the physical readiness, psychological, and financial. That is why, every pregnancy should planned. Before pregnant, be sure to have created mutual understanding and openness between partners, as well as support from family.

In addition, pregnancy is a decision between the two wives and husbands, so that should be the desire and agreement. It would be nice if the family and the environment also supports.

As stated pregnant mothers, a variety of physical and psychological readiness to consider. For physical health fetuses, pregnant women should eat a nutritious diet with a balanced diet that includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, iron, and iodine. In addition, monitor maternal and fetal health through regular prenatal care.

The mental readiness, in addition to full support of her husband and family, also need to cultivate mutual respect. In order to stimulate the intelligence of the fetus, parents can do early stimulation. The way to stimulate all the senses (sensory) fetus, especially of hearing, touch, and feelings.

Turn the music is fun mom, or sing a favorite song mother and fetus. This can be done, stroking mother's stomach, either by the mother, father, or other family members such as grandmothers and grandfathers.

PREGNANCY indicated quality of the physical and mental health of the mother and fetus, and when the baby is born and lives in the future. For that living a healthy lifestyle and stay away from cigarettes.

Smoking can cause cancer, heart attack, impotence, and pregnancy disorders and the fetus. You must already familiar with this usual government warnings contained in the cigarette packs or tobacco advertisements.

Pregnancy is a gift that should be kept as possible by watching the various factors that can affect pregnancy, one with distance themselves from exposure to cigarettes (either as active or passive smokers).

Numerous studies show that pregnant women who smoke higher risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and children with low birth weight. Recently, a large-scale study in England also revealed that women who smoke when pregnant gave birth to a child at risk of hyperactive or suffering from concentration problems and difficulty paying attention when they were 3 years old (preschool).

Previous studies have also been reported that there is significant risk in men, children of school age. Well, this latest study is the first to connect smoking during pregnancy with the problem of boys and girls aged 3 years. For the purposes of this study, the research team from the University of York, Hull-York Medical School, analyzed about 13,000 boys and girls aged 3 years in a study called the UK Millennium Cohort Study.

Observed children's behavior through a number of questions asked on parents, teachers, and caregivers. Among other issues hyperactivity disorder and attention disorders, such as how easily the child is torn concentration or attention. Another indicator is the tantrum behavior, fighting or other bad attitude children, as well as negative behavior such as stealing, lying, and cheating.

Researchers also consider other factors that influence the event. For example family economic status, parental education level, ethnicity, parental marital status, financial difficulties, as well as smoking behavior, drinking or drug use during pregnancy.

Almost 10 percent of women (mothers of these children) known to smoke heavily, which is more than 10 sticks per day during pregnancy. Meanwhile, 12.5 percent of women smoked light (less than 10 sticks per day), and 12.4 percent are those who try to quit during pregnancy.

Given that the risk of having children who have behavioral disorders or attention problems was higher in pregnant women smokers, especially those who smoked up before delivery. The highest risk is concerned, if a woman smoked during pregnancy (9 months).

They also found that the effects of smoking during pregnancy is different in boys and girls. Boys who are exposed to cigarette smoke while still in the womb tend to have more behavioral and attention disorders, while female children have behavioral disorders only.

"The emphasis of this risk primarily on how long this pregnant woman smoking (during pregnancy), not how the number of cigarettes smoked," said one of the research team, Dr Kate E Pickett, about a study published the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

She added that pregnant women who smoke heavily and continuously (persistent) higher risk of having sons who are behavior problems than lighter smokers. As for the children of women, the effect on the duration of smoking more than the number of cigarettes smoked.

"The equation, for the problem of hyperactivity and attention disorders, both heavy and light smokers were both increased the risk compared to the non smoker," said Pickett.

This study certainly adds more evidence of the trend relationship between heavy smokers and the mood of the child. Previous studies in animals showed that nicotine is a "poison" for behavior.

Imagine, pregnant women who smoke not only apparently give fetus with hazardous chemicals that can affect its development. Furthermore, she also would reduce the nature and behavior associated with their smoking habits during pregnancy.

Most women smokers trying to quit smoking during pregnancy to protect your baby. Another part of this study mention, the girl whose mother quit smoking during pregnancy have a lower risk of behavior problems than girls whose mothers had never smoked. Why be so?

Researchers assume that the determination and efforts to quit smoking during pregnancy showed that the women concerned have the capacity to adapt to the circumstances and the ability to plan and postpone the pleasure (the ability to quit smoking). In other words, it also shows signs easygoing temperament which she inherited her female children.

MOTHER who often angry during pregnancy their babies at greater risk of experiencing heart problems. According to the researchers, babies born to mothers who tend to act aggressive and just follow your heart has a heart rate variation is much less after birth. Heart rate variation is believed to be a healthy sign because it indicates that the body flexible and can adjust to the changes. For example, different breathing patterns should affect the heart rate.

This statement is corroborated by the findings of researchers from the University of Sussex, England. According to them, such behavior slamming doors, yelling loudly, throwing dishes and even food can interfere with excessive fetal heart development in the womb.

But if the heart does not adjust to the change then the risk is susceptible to interference and the infection is also greater. Adults who have a heartbeat various lower, more researchers, proved a greater risk of experiencing heart problems.
"The tendency to act as they pleased and angry without control affects the psychological development of the fetus. This makes the baby more at risk of cardiovascular disease," said the researcher, was quoted as saying dailymail site.

In addition, another researcher light, hormonal changes in the body that trigger aggressive behavior might cross the placenta into the fetus. It also may also influence the development of cells.

Detailed studies
In this study, the researchers involved 49 pregnant women aged between 22 and 39. The tests required participants to view their tendency angry without control. In an interview, they were asked to describe how they handle anger. In addition, their brain activity monitored to see their response to the sounds and images designed to trigger a negative reaction. Researchers found 22 participants (almost half of the total participants) included in the 'category of anger'.

After birth, the baby's heart's electrical activity measured by using electrocardiogram, or ECG. They found that babies of mothers included in the 'category of anger' has a heart rate variation is lower.

"Low heart rate variation is a bad thing, though have not been studied fully, because it depicts a lack of flexibility and adaptability in our body. In adults, variations in the low heart rate associated with heart disease," explained cardiologist Professor Nick Peters of Imperial College London.

PROCESS pregnancy especially early in the first month often involve professionals such as midwives and doctors content. Most of our doctors are often encountered "stingy talk" when most mothers were many candidates come to the doctor without knowing to what he was doing a series of inspections and what the right question to ask.

Three out of four new mothers who have a baby the first time determined to breastfeed, yet it largely gave up before reaching six months.

The report from Brigham Young University study showed only 36% of infants received breast milk (breast milk) until the age of six months. And as recommended by the health organization of children, babies should be breastfed until the age of one year.

Research data from around 60 thousand of children, collected during a survey of immunization. From the survey showed, breast-fed babies more than six months generally come from highly educated mothers and a large income.

Women married and living in developed countries more generally are nursing a child. While mothers who smoke are just feeding in a short time and the number is diminishing. Mothers who earn less and obtaining assistance from the program to improve the welfare of mothers and children, even more quickly stop breastfeeding.

Efforts to improve the health of teeth and mouth have been carried out since the old parties, either through government programs, mass media, advertising on television, or counseling in the health center. But the results were not so significant. From the Household Health Survey in 2001 found that 76.2% children in the age group 12 years experience caries.

If described one by one, many factors that cause the difficulty of improving the health status of children's teeth and mouth. But it might need to be seen is one thing very important, namely the role of mother. Mother plays a key role in the family, as a wife and mother of his children. The first figure is known to the child once he was born his mother. Thus, behaviors and habits can be emulated by the mother of the child. Maternal knowledge about dental health will determine the health status of children's teeth later. But 'know' is not enough, to be followed by 'caring' and 'act'.

Dental health and children need to be considered as early as possible. The formation of teeth in children have started since he was still in the womb. Nutritional factors determine pregnant women and fetal development growth, not least the teeth and mouth. Calcium, fluorine and phosphorus is an important element in the formation of the fetal teeth. So did vitamin C and D.

Holt RD, et al doing research on the effects of dental health education given to her mother's 5-year-old in London. The results revealed that 69% of the children of mothers who give oral health education at home shows the caries-free, and the number of gingivitis (gum inflammation) is lower than the children who are not educated about oral hygiene and mouth by his mother.

Dental caries can occur very early, so the teeth are growing and the environment from exposure to the mouth so he has the potential to experience caries. Mother can help clean her teeth are still a toddler with a clean gauze or cotton that added to the surface of the tooth. To determine whether there is still a plaque on tooth surfaces, can be applied disclosing solution that will give the red color on the surface covered by plaque. So whether your teeth could get caught it is completely clean or not.

Sometimes children who are aged under 5 years is very difficult to told to brush her teeth. Well, here lies the role of the mother. Just command may not work to make children want to brush my teeth. But if the mother took the child together brushing teeth, such as bathing, then the child can observe and imitate the habit of the mother.

Entering the school age, children experience caries risk higher. The number of snacks in school, with the type of food and sweet drinks, threaten the health of your child's teeth. Mothers need to monitor patterns of children in the school snack. If possible, children are not socialized to snack at school at all. Supply of food from home so much better, because it can not be denied that most children in school snacks vulnerable to hygiene and nutritious too questionable. If the child insists on for snack at school, better directed not to choose foods that are sweet and sticky. Food sticky sweet with a consistency much more dangerous, because it is more difficult to remove from the surface of the tooth.

Many women who complain, the front upper jaw teeth brown son, the crown of his teeth broken, sometimes even just a little remaining crown. But most of these mothers do not realize what it was. What actually happens is that dental caries experience, and this is often referred to as the bottle caries, early childhood caries, or baby bottle caries. Pattern of dental caries is closely related to the provision of milk or other sweet liquid with a prolonged bottle. Moreover if the child used to or accustomed to drinking milk bottle before bedtime, and not infrequently there are bottles of milk in the child's mouth when he fell asleep.

Dental caries is caused eldest feeding or other sweet drinks to use as long a bottle has a distinctive character. Involved tooth is usually the front upper jaw teeth, and usually four front teeth caries-free lower jaw.

Parent behavior factors into the supporting factors of this problem, primarily because of lack of knowledge of parents about proper dental health. This percentage is quite high, from a study reported in 3-6% of children under the age of 4 years of bottle caries.

From several studies revealed that the contents of the bottle is more significant in increasing the risk of bottle caries, rather than the duration or the duration of the use of the milk bottle. For example syrup, infant formula is added sugar, or honey water to drink with milk bottles, a high potential for causing dental caries, especially if you drink a bottle at bedtime. The flow of saliva decreases during sleep, whereas saliva has a cleansing effect of self-rinsing food or beverage remaining out of the oral cavity during swallowing movements. When liquid or sweet drinks to drink until the child is asleep, then the liquid is still flooding the surface of the teeth all night.
Lactose in milk can stimulate the growth of the bacteria Streptococcus mutants, the bacteria that is very important as a cause of caries.

TIPS FOR THE MOTHER

• Help and teach children while brushing teeth. If the mother together cleaning children's teeth, the child will be more motivated and imitate the example of his mother. In addition women also may consider whether the child how to brush teeth correctly. Do not leave a child alone or only accompanied by caregiver.
• Toothpaste with various flavors and colors are attractive to children, and the formula was designed so that safe if ingested. However, toothpaste containing fluoride is good for teeth should be given after a 3-year-old child in which he was able to rinse.
• Watch your child's type of snacks. Candy and chocolate or other sweet foods can still be given, but needs to be emphasized on the importance of brushing and cleaning your teeth before bed.
• Take time to look at and examine your child's teeth. If this is often done, the child will not feel too strange as to be brought to the dentist. If there is disorder in the child's mouth cavity can be found as early as possible.

CAUTION: Check with the child to the dentist regularly. Many of the mothers who did not deem it necessary to patch up her milk teeth are hollow. Because after all will be replaced by permanent teeth. However, milk teeth can cause a hole left some problems.

• Milk teeth are hollow (as well as in adults) may cause discomfort or pain. As a result children can be fussy and difficult to eat.
• Can cause malfunctioning of mastication, because teeth are not hollow chew comfortable to use. The result does not chew food properly, and can affect nutrition for children.
• Baby teeth can cause tooth hole is rocking and the date of premature or had revoked prematurely. Ideally in this condition made space maintainer. Baby teeth serve as a guide for the growth of permanent teeth. If premature tooth loss, tooth growth remains irregular.

Composition of irregular teeth can lead to malfunctioning of talk (especially the front teeth are irregular), not harmonious facial profile, interference with mastication, and can lower self-esteem of children. Baby teeth should remain patched, so that the teeth are already holes in it can survive as long as possible in the mouth and the date or time off in accordance with the normal.

Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) that affects about 75% of women of childbearing age is one form of mental health disorders related to women's reproductive cycle. Modern contraceptive pill can be an alternative relieve the symptoms of PMS.

PMS symptoms include physical and psychological symptoms. Physical symptoms are usually fatigue, weakness, lethargy, headache, breast pain, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, sweating, appetite disorders and sexual desire disorders. Psychological symptoms of melancholy, irritability, anxiety, concentration problems, loss of interest, and sleep disorders.

These symptoms appear because in the days before the menstrual hormonal changes in women's bodies.

To cope with PMS, can be done through medical and non-medical therapies. One non-medical measures recommended by expert is charting method. It was a production diary, which details a variety of symptoms before menstruation.

The method helps a woman to recognize the changes that happened to her throughout the menstrual cycle. Thus, in the next month a woman can better anticipate the physical and psychological disorders experienced in the days before menstruation.

Medical therapy to cope with PMS can be done partly by hormone therapy. For that, the modern contraceptive pill can be an alternative therapy.

Technological developments have produced contraceptive pill with drospirenone active substances that are not only useful for managing the pregnancy, but also overcome the problem of STDs.

Drospirenone, is a substance that has properties antimineralocortikoid. The Properties may reduce the symptoms of PMS such as feeling full in the stomach / bloating, improve your mood (mood) and the complaints other STDs. These benefits are already proven through various studies.

In developed countries modern contraceptive pills are commonly used to treat PMS cases.

"Pregnant women who experience chronic toothache or birth weight infants at risk for low birth weight due to disrupted growth", according to Jaret Heather, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, United States in his presentation at the International Association for dental research. Dr. Steven Offenbacher, director of the Center of Oral and Systemic Diseases at the University explained that the risk is just as powerful as the risk of smoking or alcohol consumption.

The experts look for the relationship between the gums disease and babies born with low, with a look at events during the past 5-6 years. Research carried out by examining the teeth and mouth health in 850 pregnant women, the age of twenty years, before 26 weeks of gestation. After it checked again within 48 hours after delivery. The study also considers the control and the various risks, such as age, smoking status and early labor had ever experienced before.

The study found that increased risk of low birth weight and fetal growth constraints appear less if the disturbances in the teeth and gums are light. It becomes a significant risk if the disease is more severe teeth. Direct relationship between gum disease and tooth affect the baby was not yet clearly known, but estimated this corresponds to a response to the swelling of the gums. Also, no studies to prove that the treatment of gum disease can reduce negative effects on the fetus. Even so, with this research we should pay more attention to oral health and teeth during pregnancy lasted.

Depression in pregnant women has many causes. First, the hormonal changes that women influence overall mood so she often felt annoyed, bored, or sad. Other causes are, changing the physical state during pregnancy. Toward a certain gestational age, women experience difficulty sleeping.

This would cause the next day the mother will feel very tired, there black circles in the eye, and facial skin becomes dull. The existence of problems in the womb as a weak content, frequent vomiting in early pregnancy, other problems can also cause depression. Mother would constantly worry about this child and will make him feel depressed. Depression can also experience the mother gave birth. In the United States, approximately 30 percent of mothers who just had a baby suspected of having postpartum depression.

Children Become Aggressive
Why is important to keep to the pregnant mother suffering from depression? Tiffani Field, Ph.D from the University of Miami Medical School answers this question based on research he had done for 20 years. She found children born to mothers who experience depression during pregnancy will have higher levels of stress hormones, brain activity that is sensitive to depression, showed little expression, and experiencing other symptoms, such as eating and sleeping difficult.

It's Dangerous if the symptoms of depression in the newborn was not immediately handled children develop into children who are not happy. They are difficult to learn to walk, asked the body is less, and not responsive to other people. If this situation remains handled the child will grow into a toddler who is depressed. When they start school behavior problems, such as aggressive and easily stressed.

Action Aid
Mother and child depression should get professional help. Consult with a pediatrician and child psychologist. The sooner help is given the more likely the child will grow normally. Other therapies, like massage, also proved good for depression, both for children and mothers. But, this too should be under the supervision of a doctor.

Importantly, this recovery effort must be made to the mother and baby. Do not just infants who were treated, while the mother is left increasingly sank into depression or vice verse. Mother and baby must work together to overcome depression. Dad also had to play an active role in helping the healing of the people closest to it.

That's why, today, the role of the mother's husband who was pregnant and after giving birth to very large. Pregnant women must get the support of as many as possible of the husband. Support from the husband can be shown in various ways, such as to give peace to his wife, helping some of the work his wife or even just give a light massage if the wife feels sore. Hopefully, with the total support of her husband, the wife can get through the pregnancy with pleasure and away from depression.

At the awaited baby is born, the role of the husband who now has become a father naturally expected to become increasingly active.'s Father and mother must share the task of raising and caring for your baby. Do not get all the care given to the mother's baby. This can make a mother depressed because his physical had not recovered after the birth of new fatigue plus caring for the baby.

Not only in pregnant women, drugs and other addictive substances also adversely affect the fetus?

The changing role of motherhood, of course, require you to change some of the usual pattern of life lived before becoming pregnant. Moreover, if one pattern of life that you live a drug alias drugs (narcotics, psychotropic and addictive substances). The problem is, that substances contained in the drug is very dangerous to the health of individuals who consume it. Moreover if you are pregnant conditions.

Damn Delicious for a moment

At first, says drug users consumed marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, and so on, to give pleasure. But, if you see the effect on the fetus and pregnant women, there was no other comment except the word "horror". Moreover, based on research, substances in the drug harmful influences fetal growth, even threaten the survival of the fetus and the expectant mother.

Now, following addictive substances commonly consumed illegally plus result.

Cocaine :

When taken, cocaine can enter through the placenta and fetal blood circulation. In fact, the consumption of cocaine in the first trimester of pregnancy can cause miscarriage. In pregnancy, cocaine can trigger premature labor, hemorrhage, and fetal death, as well as mothers.

Heroin :

It is highly addictive, so its use during pregnancy can cause your baby depends on the bandwagon. In addition to penetrate the fetal blood circulation, heroin can also cause defects in newborns.

Amphetamines :

Cause low birth weight infants.

Ecstasy :

In the mother lead to dehydration (lack of body fluids) and psychic disturbances. In pregnancy, placental bleeding ecstasy trigger.

Marijuana :

It's cause low birth weight babies and other health disorders. In some studies, expectant mothers who consume marijuana has a small baby than expectant mothers who do not eat them.

If Consumption Before Pregnancy

It can influence the long term, even when you are pregnant do not eat them. As a result, the effect of the consumption of addictive substances before pregnancy will affect the condition of pregnancy and the fetus. Therefore, consult your doctor to help monitor the pregnancy and your labor. Who knows your child needs special care after birth.
