Prenatal education first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, prenatal education refers to the moral and behavioral norms that pregnant women must abide by, thus bringing good influence to the fetus.
The mother of Ji Chang, King of Zhou Wen, is smart and kind, and she is a good person. After pregnancy, she used ethical norms to restrain herself, not to look at evil things, not to listen to bad news, not to say arrogant words, to ensure a positive impact on the fetus. After Zhou Wenwang was born, he was very clever, and he could draw inferences from others when studying. According to Liu Xiang's Biography of Women, Zhou Wenwang's cleverness and inference are directly related to Tairen's emphasis on prenatal education. Since then, prenatal education has attracted people's attention, and Zhou Wenwang's mother, Tae In, has also become the first person in China.
Now the definition of prenatal education has been extended in detail, that is, pregnant women should have a good attitude, ensure a balanced diet, and advocate prenatal and postnatal care.
2. Why do you want to do prenatal education?
A research team in the United States, after long-term observation and experiments, came to the conclusion that "only 48% of human intelligence is affected by genetic factors, and the remaining 52% is related to the fetal environment". Notanitz, a famous British biomedical doctor, also pointed out that obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease are all related to the fetal environment. This shows that prenatal education will have a decisive impact on people's life health.
Most of the babies who have had prenatal education are easy to raise. When you cry, you will stop crying when you hear your mother's voice or play familiar music. In addition, they are more familiar with their mother's voice and feel safer more easily.
Many pregnant mothers and prospective fathers are very concerned about prenatal education, and after buying prenatal education books, they follow the trend in an orderly way. But in fact, indiscriminate absorption is risky. I have bought several books and CDs about prenatal education. On a CD, a pregnant mother lovingly leans back on the sofa with headphones on her stomach. Intoxicated eyes make me feel something is wrong. Later, through comparative reading, I finally understood what the problem was.
Music prenatal education can't directly put headphones on the stomach. If the sound is too loud, it will affect the auditory nerve of the fetus, which will seriously cause fetal deafness. Music prenatal education, pay attention to the distance between headphones and stomach in more than 2cm.
It is really necessary to do prenatal education, but it is necessary to distinguish books. When choosing books, choose those authoritative prenatal education books, and it is best to buy two or three books for comparison, so that it is easy to know which ones are right and which ones are wrong.
3. Do these things well and make prenatal education a pleasant thing.
First of all, emotional prenatal education needs pregnant mothers to maintain a happy mood.
The fetus is in the pregnant mother's belly. Although the mother's face can't be seen, the fetus can feel her emotions. People's emotional changes are related to endocrine, and the secretion of adrenocortical hormone will increase under tension or pressure. This hormone will flow along the blood and then enter the fetus through the placenta. Adrenal cortical hormone has obvious destructive effect on embryos, especially in the first three months. If pregnant women are anxious for a long time, it may lead to fetal malformation.
American psychologists Osig and Simmons found that if pregnant mothers are mentally anxious and highly nervous, after the baby is born, the mood will be unstable, easily excited and prone to personality or emotional disorders. It can be seen that the mental stress of mother during pregnancy is very unfavorable to fetal development. Therefore, it is very important for pregnant mothers to keep a happy mood.
Pregnant mothers need the cooperation of the whole family to maintain a happy mood and take care of pregnant mothers, especially prospective fathers. They can actively participate in prenatal education. They might as well give their baby a lovely nickname first, and often call the fetus by nickname, so that when the baby is born, they will feel familiar and safe when they hear you call him by nickname. The prospective father can talk to the fetus about daily life. If he really can't find a topic, he can also choose to read fairy tales and classic picture books.
During pregnancy, I went to the maternity school of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital to attend classes. The director of obstetrics and gynecology told us that there must be prospective fathers involved in prenatal education. When the fetus is familiar with the voice of the father-to-be, it will help to build the trust of the father after the child is born. At the same time, it can make pregnant mothers feel comfortable, participate in the prenatal education process, enhance the relationship between husband and wife, and be full of love and expectation for the little life.
After the fetal movement, the baby seems to be more willing to interact with mom and dad, and pregnant mothers and prospective fathers also like to touch the baby through their stomachs. Bernard Dees, a French psychologist, said: "Parents can communicate with the fetus in the womb by touching the sound. Doing so can give the fetus a sense of security and make the child feel comfortable and happy. "
After 20 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant mothers and prospective fathers can touch the fetus, but they can't touch it back and forth, otherwise it will cause contractions. Put your hand gently on your stomach or touch it gently. In addition, touch prenatal education for 5- 10 minutes, not too long. Of course, it is best to touch prenatal education under the guidance of prenatal education experts and obstetricians and gynecologists.
Pregnant mothers should keep a happy mood, besides the cooperation of their families, they should also find more happy things to do, such as trying DIY baby clothes. Please remember that only when the pregnant mother is in a good mood can the fetus grow up healthily.
Second, nutritional prenatal education, what you eat, what the fetus absorbs.
Everyone has about 654.38+06 billion brain cells, of which 654.38+04 billion brain cells are produced in the mother's stomach. If pregnant mothers don't get enough nutrition, it will greatly affect their children's IQ. In addition, the eating habits of the fetus after birth are also closely related to the eating style of the pregnant mother. For example, the poor appetite and partial eclipse of the baby after birth are mostly related to the poor appetite and partial eclipse of the pregnant mother during pregnancy, or because she is busy with work, she does not eat on time.
In the encyclopedia of pregnancy and childbirth, the author points out that prenatal education is not a technology, and there is no prenatal education method suitable for a specific period. The method of prenatal education based on weeks or months is not like prenatal education, but more like prenatal education for pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant mothers should not have too much psychological pressure. Just choose a professional and authoritative prenatal education book and have a general concept in their minds.
For pregnant women, try to eat regularly, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplement some nuts, such as pine nuts, hazelnuts and walnuts. If possible, it is best to go to a training school for pregnant women. After all, you have to know what to eat and how to eat, which is more conducive to the baby's growth.
In fact, nutrition prenatal education not only starts from pregnancy, but also pre-pregnancy nutrition is very important. Many pregnant women begin to care for their bodies in order to create a good "home" for their babies.
Third, music prenatal education should be based on the preferences of pregnant mothers.
For the fetus, the most beautiful voice is the mother's voice. As long as what you see and hear every day is positive and happy, pregnant mothers can tell it to the fetus. Besides, music has the same function as mother's voice. Therefore, pregnant mothers will seriously do music prenatal education. In music prenatal education, most people will recommend Mozart's music, or other piano music, because these music are very similar to mom's heartbeat. However, many mothers said that the music was really hard to listen to, and they often lost their minds when listening to it.
In "The most beautiful education is the simplest", your teacher Yin suggested that everything that please your mother is good, so it is suitable for prenatal education, otherwise it will be ineffective or negative. Therefore, if pregnant mothers don't like piano music, there is no need to force themselves, just decide according to their own preferences. If pregnant mothers like pop songs, then listen to pop songs. But there are some principles to pay attention to, such as horror stories, which are obviously not suitable for listening during pregnancy.
Music prenatal education can start from 16 weeks of pregnancy, because the fetus begins to respond to external sound stimulation around 17 weeks. Pregnant mothers can observe the law of fetal movement. When there is fetal movement, it is enough to carry out 1-2 music prenatal education every day, and each time lasts about 15 minutes.
Fourth, exercise prenatal education and avoid aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercise consumes a lot of oxygen, so it is very effective for losing weight. But pregnant mothers are not suitable for aerobic exercise, because adults consume a lot of oxygen, and the fetus in the stomach is prone to hypoxia.
Besides aerobic exercise, what other exercises are suitable for pregnant mothers? Yoga, swimming and outdoor walking for pregnant women. Exercise secretes dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that can convey information of excitement and happiness. In other words, doing exercise every day can make pregnant mothers feel happy, control their weight, keep healthy, and be conducive to a smooth delivery.
According to the research of the University of Michigan, pregnant mothers can exercise for half an hour every day, which can improve their baby's IQ. When the pregnant mother does exercise, the amniotic fluid will shake, which is equivalent to giving the baby a full body massage.
Of course, the simplest and easy-to-operate exercise prenatal education is to take a walk outdoors every day, breathe fresh air and bask in the sun while increasing vitamin D, which can promote the absorption of calcium. It should be noted that the daily exercise time can be controlled at 30-60 minutes. In addition, when you see lush trees and hear sweet birds singing, you can tell your baby softly. It is not difficult to see that these prenatal education methods are not isolated and can be used in combination, such as walking and listening to music, to make pregnant mothers feel happy.
Conclusion: Doing prenatal education well can breed a smart and nurturing baby to a great extent. It should be noted that the core of prenatal education lies in: don't completely believe the information in books or online, but must carry out prenatal education correctly according to your physical condition.
