Children's fairy tales for pregnant women to read. Talking to your tummy

What is it like, the development of an unborn child? Maybe he needs to read smart books, philosophical treatises aloud and loudly, talk to him in foreign languages and voice the laws of physics? In fact, everything is not at all as complicated and tricky as it might seem if you don’t know the issue.

First of all, the baby’s intrauterine development depends on the condition of his mother. But this condition is associated not only with the daily routine, but also... An equally important role in the development of the unborn baby is played by the moral state of the mother during pregnancy.

I think it’s no secret to anyone that all the symptoms of the expectant mother are transmitted to her baby through the release of certain hormones into the blood. And what exactly these hormones will be depends on the woman herself, first of all.

What exactly has a positive impact on the intrauterine upbringing and development of a child?

Actually, any activity that brings pleasure to the expectant mother, a feeling of joy that arouses her interest, has the best effect on the psycho-emotional health of both the mother and the baby. And the activities can be different: drawing, clay modeling, singing, dancing, needlework, writing, cooking... The list can go on for a long time.

Of course, the endorphins you get from Pilates, yoga, water aerobics and walking should not be written off either. But why limit yourself to only this? The entire period of pregnancy can be filled with bright sensations, smiles and pleasure in a much larger quantity and variety. It is only important to accustom yourself to notice any pleasant little thing and enjoy it. And it’s even better if you learn to not only enjoy the positive moments yourself, but also share them with the people around you. This way, a good mood will come from you and return in response.

You can enjoy absolutely everything, from morning tea with mint or milk and a soft sweater, to exchanging pleasantries with a neighbor or watching a good movie. Every moment of even a slight release of the hormone of happiness will only benefit. Throw aside sad thoughts and a negative attitude, just imagine that you collected them in one box and threw them away at once. Don’t allow yourself to be immersed in emotional bad weather; let it be better expressed in the rain outside the window, after which the sun will definitely appear.

Methods of intrauterine development of a child

1. Color therapy

Perhaps, having found themselves in this position, some of the expectant mothers noticed that they began to like those colors that previously did not evoke much liking; they wanted to surround themselves with something brighter, more saturated, and a variety of some shades. And this is good. The positive effect of color therapy on the mother’s sense of self, which is transmitted to the baby in the tummy, has already been proven.

Even ordinary people are advised to surround themselves with the color orange when feeling sad and to combat depression. The influence of green and blue is considered calming and peaceful. In general, if you understand that any of the colors or shades has become very pleasing to the eye and having it in your wardrobe or household items evokes positive emotions, just enjoy it.

Painting and simply drawing can also be associated with color therapy in terms of the nature of their influence. In the process of working with paints, you will be able to play with colors to create different shades by mixing, and also express with the help of a palette what you want, be it a landscape, portrait or still life. Or maybe you will like to convey all the versatility of the sea in its different states? Go for it!

2. Playing and listening to music

The music you listen to while carrying your baby is very important. No one limits the choice of styles, and it is clear that some like rock, some club styles, and others prefer jazz or alternative music. There are many styles and they are all different. Everyone is free to listen to what he likes. But if we talk about what kind of music has a positive effect on the so-called intrauterine upbringing of a child, then it is worth considering certain nuances.

Firstly, we all know that a person is 80% water, and the water molecule is vibrated. This vibration can be either positive or negative.
I remember once watching a program in which scientists studied the structure of snowflakes created artificially from water when exposed to sounds of different frequencies. When some snowflakes sounded, the snowflakes turned out to be symmetrical, openwork, and when others sounded, they came out in a chaotic shape.

Sounds and music have the same effect on us and the baby, who is still in the tummy. Even if not to the full extent, the baby hears what sounds from the outside. Classical music, for example, has a positive effect on children; it can either calm and pacify them, or arouse interest and a desire to show their reaction in the form of light jolts. Loud music, accompanied by sharp sounds, screams and a fast pace, makes children nervous, causes hyperactivity, and can even cause stress.

There is an opinion that if in the third trimester you play the same calming music before bed, then after birth the baby will fall asleep faster after hearing such a familiar melody. Also, the music that you will introduce to your unborn baby will serve as a means of developing his taste, so it is worth paying special attention to the musical selection chosen for this purpose.

3. Education by voice

Your child is growing and slowly developing inside you. An important factor in his development and development of a reaction, the ability to recognize, will be the voices of his mother and father. Of course, you need to talk to the baby, accompanying this with stroking or light pushes in anticipation of his response. Just don’t resort to such contact too often. The baby may be dozing sweetly at the moment when you want to communicate with him. Wait for the moment when light movements inside become noticeable. Gradually he will begin to recognize the intonations and pitch of his mother’s voice, and then his father’s.

It should be noted that the participation of the father in this format of communication with the child is no less important than contact with the mother. When the baby is born, he should be equally calm and comfortable in the arms of both parents. This will make it possible to change each other’s care for the baby if one of the parents gets tired and needs rest. You've probably seen children who calm down only in their mother's arms. So, there is nothing good about this. Yes, and dads begin to feel tense and confused, not knowing how to find an approach to their own child. Therefore, you need to work on establishing contact between the toddler and his parents in advance, without delaying the moment until his birth.

4. Love for the child from the moment of conception

I would like to pay special attention to the desirability of the baby's future. Moreover, of course, it’s better if both mom and dad are equally happy with him in advance. Children who were desired by both their parents develop better, are less susceptible to stress, they feel needed, loved, protected, which promotes openness to new beginnings and greater faith in their own strengths.

Yes, it happens that for one reason or another a woman is forced to prepare for the birth of a child without the participation of his father. But even in such a situation, you need to try to set yourself in a positive mood and give your child all the love, affection and attention that you are capable of.

And all these feelings need to begin to be addressed to the baby from the first moment, as soon as it became clear that he was conceived. These maternal emotions must manifest themselves throughout the entire period of pregnancy, so that when born, the little one feels surrounded by love and care.

5. Physical and spiritual development of the expectant mother

The most important thing in the process of laying beauty in your future baby is the presence of this beauty around you and directly in you. The more beautiful, interesting things that develop taste and intelligence that surround you, the better this will affect the psycho-emotional development of your child.

So, go to galleries, classical and chamber music concerts, sing, read good books with meaning, watch interesting films and educational programs, dance and draw, cook delicious and beautiful dishes, try to look good and take care of yourself.

All this and much more will instill positive qualities in the child both before birth and after his birth. He will see a beautiful mother and beautiful objects, smell pleasant smells, hear competent speech accompanied by a calm, balanced intonation, continue to get acquainted with good music, as well as everything new and interesting.

The influence of hormones on the state of the body of a pregnant woman and on the development of the fetus

As soon as a new life is born in the female body, big changes begin, which are caused by surges of those same hormones and their effect on the woman’s body, well-being and mood. This cannot be avoided, but you can try to reduce unpleasant phenomena as much as possible.

If you are an impressionable person and cannot ignore unkind words or criticism addressed to you, then try to protect yourself from negative emotions at least for the period of bearing and feeding your baby. It is very important. Both while still inside you, with blood, and when born, with breast milk, the baby will receive and carry through all your frustrations and sorrows.

Naturally, this will not pass by and will affect his development. Children of mothers exposed to stress are restless, sleep poorly, are easily excitable, and are less able to concentrate and perceive information. They are susceptible to mood swings, and there may also be a tendency towards aggression and problems in social adaptation.

On the other hand, all the positive emotions you receive will definitely have a good effect on the psycho-emotional development of the unborn child.

Have a productive pregnancy! Develop with your baby while having fun!

We follow doctors’ orders, eat right, and don’t forget to take vitamins. And I really want to communicate with the child, but not all of us know how - and therefore they just stroke their bellies. And in general, will the baby hear us and understand us? And besides, what will others think of us when they see us talking to a part of our body?

But, despite the fact that many people do not believe in the possibility of communicating with their baby still in the womb, future mothers and fathers do not hesitate to whisper something and tell him something.

Girls, I’m wondering if anyone is talking to their baby? After all, after 18 weeks they hear everything, before 18 weeks they can only distinguish the intonation and volume of the voice. We bought inexpensive folk tales and I read them sometimes in the evenings. So the baby stops kicking and listens carefully. Yes, I show pictures. Of course, she doesn’t see, but she hears what is drawn. Even my mother-in-law advised me to talk to my tummy more often. We also enjoyed classical music. I generally believe in prenatal education. And there’s a lot of pleasure when the baby reacts to your words. At least we're listening to the folder. If she pushes very hard, he will put her hand, talk, and she sleeps with me all night.

For example, among Koreans, when a child is born, it is considered that he is already a year old, that is, according to the passport, he is the same age, but according to traditions, he is a year older, that is, while he is still in his belly, he is still LIVING. I like this tradition, I agree with it. You already talk to your belly differently - as if you were a living person, and you address him by name, and joke somehow purposefully, or something...

We didn’t know who it would be - my husband said it was a boy, and I said it was a girl. In the end, it was a girl - they said at two ultrasounds. But he is still happy, he says: “Well, okay, the main thing is that our little one will be here.” She talks to her tummy and says: “Anyutochka, our beloved girl, we are waiting for you, we love you. He puts his ear on his stomach, and she kicks him, he’s already beaming with joy...

In general, we have a tricky one, so I go to bed in the evening, he seems to be sleeping, only dad sits next to me and starts talking to me and kissing my tummy, so he immediately becomes active, starts communicating with his father, I’m already laughing that the child is still in me, but My men already have their own party.

My husband often talks to his tummy. In the evenings he constantly wishes good night.

And yet it exists...

When I started writing this article, I was sure that talking to my belly was nothing more than pleasant entertainment, a way for a “pregnant” couple to get closer to each other. And if you ask your gynecologist: “Mar Ivanna, tell me, how to talk to your tummy?”, then you will not get a clear answer.

But it turns out that since 1971, such an unusual science about humans as prenatal and perinatal psychology has existed in the world. In our country, this science is just beginning to develop, but since 1996 we have the Russian Association of Perinatal Psychology and Medicine.

Specialist in prenatal technologies Natalya PODOBED, obstetrician-gynecologist of the highest category, candidate of medical sciences, associate professor of the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Volga Medical University writes (“Bulletin of the Military Medical Academy”, 1999, N5, pp. 89-91):

The basis of perinatal psychology is the theory of perinatal matrices. The American psychiatrist Stanislav Grof has done especially much to study them. According to Grof, perinatal matrices are persistent functional structures (“clichés”) that are the basis for many (if not all) mental and physical reactions throughout a person’s subsequent life. The doctrine of the formation of matrices during pregnancy and childbirth has already become a coherent theory. ...Activation of formed matrices is the basis of a person’s reaction in his everyday life.

In the meantime, medicine conducts research, draws up theories and understands all these complex concepts, we must understand how we, who are pregnant for the first or second time, and for the sixth time, can simply communicate with our baby. What will benefit him, and what should he be protected from?

What should you tell your tummy first?

Everyone knows about the existence of the attitude “pregnant women should not worry,” but few people know that studies have been conducted in this area that have shown that information about what happened to his mother while she was carrying him remains in the subconscious of an adult. The results of these works were presented back in 1983 at the First American Congress on Prenatal and Perinatal Education. It turned out that even before birth, a child is able to determine his mother’s reaction to everything good and bad that happens to her. The mother's pulse and the baby's heartbeat are closely interconnected. If you have just been stressed and your heart began to beat faster, your child will certainly feel it. In order for your baby to be emotionally stable and resilient, it is very important to be able to quickly calm down yourself. As soon as you begin to breathe more smoothly, place your hand on your tummy and verbally reassure the child. Such a conscious attitude towards the baby is extremely important in order for his psyche to develop healthy, and thereby improve your psychological readiness for a relationship with the child.

But not only in sorrow, as they say, one must be able to “communicate with the tummy,” but also in joy. The endorphins that we release during periods of special happiness are also felt by the baby. Talk, explain to your child what is happening to you, why you are happy... Believe me, this will only benefit both you and your baby!

"Music has tied us"...

A long time ago, our great-great-grandmothers knew Russian folk incantations and chants for pregnant women, which were passed down from generation to generation:

Like a songbird in the morning

The dawn sings with a ring of joy,

So my soul sensed

That a child is ripening under your heart.

You are my prayer child,

received as a gift from God,

Through prayer I have been granted

For love, for affection and joy.

You are for mother, for father

Covered the light with light,

Became hope, consolation.

We are waiting for you, we shine with you,

We come to Christ with prayer,

To send mercy to you,

To grow as a reward for us,

And for the Lord - a joy.

In 1983, Mikhail LAZAREV, Doctor of Medical Sciences and Professor of the International Academy of Sciences and Arts, Head of the Department of Pre- and Perinatal Children's Health at the Scientific Center for Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, created a method of prenatal musical training using Sonatal music. This method is based on the unconditional influence of music on human sensory systems, on the impact of songs on both hemispheres of the brain. The method is recommended by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

In his interview with the Vladivostok newspaper (2002), Lazarev said:

In the prenatal period, the brain itself is formed, and whatever it is formed is what it will be. He molds himself physically. Even the number of neurons, which at birth in most people fade away due to lack of demand. Preventing this from happening is one of the goals of my technique...

If everything is so serious, then surely not all music can be played for your “tummy”? This is what the president of the French National Association of Prenatal Education (ANEP), teacher Andre BERTIN, writes in his book “Education in the Womb, or a Tale of Missed Opportunities”:

The fetus also perceives the music that the mother listens to during the concert. He selectively responds to the program. Thus, Beethoven and Brahms have a stimulating effect on the fetus, while Mozart and Vivaldi calm it. As for rock music, only one thing can be said: it makes him go crazy. It was noticed that expectant mothers are often forced to leave the concert hall due to the unbearable suffering experienced from the rapid movement of the fetus. So they should listen to different, more structured music.

In addition to forming the brain, music helps to influence the baby both physically and emotionally - through the mother’s feelings. It’s enough to turn on good music a couple of times a day for 10-15 minutes, whenever you want, and enjoy it!

I know for sure that the intrauterine development of a child is not nonsense. Firstly, it has been proven in practice (among the girlfriends who gave birth, the majority are musicians) that the music that the baby liked in the belly, he liked after birth, and he responded to it. The child loves fairy tales and lullabies, which the mother read to the pregnant woman. The baby develops musical/hearing/aesthetic skills when listening to live music (classics).

Science has proven that already in the womb a child hears music, speech, and voice intonations. When a mother communicates with her baby through a special melody, complete mutual understanding arises between them. And what a happiness it is for an already born baby to hear from his mother the same melody that she sang to him when he was still in the womb. Mom’s voice reminds him of that state of peace and tranquility, and the child quickly forgets about his worries and falls asleep in a good mood.

Is it never too early to learn?

We are all born with a certain number of brain cells, but the most important thing is to develop intercellular connections. Stimulating the growth of intercellular connections with music, reading or even games before birth increases the likelihood that your baby will be more developed intellectually. It is even believed that the baby will recognize the language in which you spoke to him. So, maybe it’s worth talking to him not only in Russian?

In her article (“Intrauterine education of the fetus. A version of a lecture-conversation with pregnant women as methodological material for an instructor,” Perinatal psychology and obstetrics, Volgograd, 2001) Natalya Podobed writes:

Logical thinking and language ability are formed from 16 weeks of pregnancy and last up to 3 years. The more words in different languages the child hears during this period, the easier the child will be able to master the difficulties of foreign speech in the future.

Happy Parents magazine agrees, where Jennifer Boulbren writes: “The sound of your voice is transmitted to your baby through the amniotic fluid, and by the time he is born, he will be able to recognize not only your voice, but also the language you speak. Studies have shown that little French children show greater interest in people who speak French, while Russian children clearly prefer their native language."

“Tummy” can not only sing lullabies, say Russian folk nursery rhymes, read simple children’s books, but also discuss what you read, and even !

Such communication will not only benefit future parents and allow them to relax and “practice” in communicating with the child, but will also strengthen the spiritual connection with the baby. This is confirmed by Olga ANTONOVICH, educational psychologist, candidate of psychological sciences, who, after a four-year study “Formation of psychological readiness of parents for a relationship with an unborn child” among 200 expectant mothers, concluded:

Special theoretical and practical classes included in medical support for pregnant women can have a significant impact on the formation of parents’ psychological readiness for a relationship with their unborn child.

My daughter and I “played” a lot. The husband, for example, put his hand on his tummy with the words “peek-a-boo”, and the daughter immediately pushed into his hand. They talked, read fairy tales - these are the fairy tales that were read to her in her belly, she then listened with obvious attention already at the age of 3 months. And she recognized the voices of her loved ones already in the maternity hospital - even the doctors noted that she immediately turned her head to her dad! ...You just need to learn to communicate with a belly and not have a complex in front of your loved ones. The child will not “be there someday”, but he ALREADY is, and he already needs your attention! And it’s an unforgettable feeling when you find contact with your unborn child!

How to persuade a baby to be born?

They say that even such “impossible things are possible”! If a mother talks to her child throughout her pregnancy, she will in any case form a special connection, albeit on a mental level. Surprisingly, doctors sometimes advise mothers to negotiate with the baby in the wrong position so that he turns over, or even to persuade the baby to be born sooner or later.

Larisa Sviridova, a practicing psychologist, head of the school for parents “Mama Lara,” writes about this conversation:

It is impossible to overestimate the conversation between parents and their child about the upcoming birth. Of course, there is no need to tell the child about the mechanism of childbirth, about how long it will last - here it is more important to talk with the child about how his parents are waiting for his birth, what is prepared for his birth, what diapers and undershirts his mother sewed for him, what The cradle and stroller were bought by dad, as his grandparents, brothers and sisters were waiting for. This conversation must be continued throughout the birth, and in this sense, the presence of the father becomes very important, since during childbirth there are moments when it is easier for the father to talk to the child. It is necessary to understand that the child is an active participant in the process, therefore, in case of protracted labor, before using medications to stimulate contractions, you need to talk to the child and ask him for help. When the baby moves, he stimulates the force of contractions of the laboring uterus, and it is easier for him to move through the birth canal during the pushing period. This may seem somewhat unrealistic and far-fetched, but those people who directly attend childbirth say that all children behave differently during childbirth: some of them take an active position, and some are very passive, and then all the work Mom does it.

Communicate with your “tummy,” sing and read, play music for him and play with him, and then the growing child will listen with great interest, joy and pride to your stories about how mom and dad were waiting for him.

As I wrote earlier, fairy tale therapy exists and is used not only for children, but also for adults. I would like to bring to your attention a fairy tale for pregnant women. I once read it on Pregnancy Day at the Mom’s Club, and today I will share it with everyone.

About the little lump...

Once upon a time there lived a little fluffy ball. He was very small, warm and surprisingly pretty. He lived in a cozy, warm little hole, where he felt comfortable and calm. He woke up, ate, played, tumbled, fell asleep again and woke up again.

Sometimes the lump just lay in its hole and listened to the sounds coming from outside. These sounds were familiar and pleasant. They fascinated the Kid and were so close.

He heard the sound of water, the flow and babbling of streams, rhythmic tapping. And sometimes from afar he heard a barely audible gentle voice, like the ringing of a silver bell.

But as time passed, the little lump grew and it began to feel a little cramped in its cozy hole; it could no longer tumble as freely as before.

Now, in addition to familiar, familiar sounds, new, unfamiliar ones began to penetrate into the hole. They were strange, wonderful and extraordinarily diverse. Some sounds were especially pleasant. And the lump listened to them for a long time, holding his breath.

But there were also not very pleasant sounds, and then the lump tossed and turned, trying to plug its ears, or knocked on the walls of its hole, wanting to stop these sounds. But as soon as he knocked, he heard that gentle, pleasant voice again. Now it sounded louder and clearer. And the lump immediately calmed down.

Some more time passed, the lump became quite large, and, of course, it no longer fit at all in its small hole.

Now every day he heard many different sounds coming from outside. He's used to a lot of things. And he became very interested in what was there, behind the walls of his hole? He really wanted to look at the one who had such a wonderful silver voice.

But as soon as the baby approached the door of his hole, he became scared and did not dare to go out.

And one fine day the Good Fairy appeared to the baby. She took his hand and said:

Have you grown up and want to get out of your hole? I can accompany you. You feel that the path ahead will not be easy. But I will always be with you and help you. The world you will enter will not be as cozy and calm as your mink. It is big, filled with different sounds, colors, smells, tastes and sensations. And when you grow up, you will have friends. You will learn everything you want and see a lot of amazing things!.. Well, are you ready?

The lump's heart began to pound, he firmly grabbed the Fairy's warm hand, opened the hole door, and, inhaling more air, took a step outside...

A huge and beautiful world accepted him, and the wonderful trills of a silver bell voice filled him with joy. The baby felt loved and wanted...

Every parent knows about the need to raise a child “from the cradle”. While the child is lying “across the bench,” mom and dad have every opportunity to instill in the child the necessary skills, a love of art, and rules of behavior in society. But not everyone thinks about raising a child in the womb. Although scientists have long proven that prenatal education is an important and necessary stage in the development of a baby.

Does this make sense and how to raise a baby during pregnancy ?

3rd month of pregnancy: education to the music of Vivaldi

At this stage, the future baby is already acquiring a human appearance, the spinal cord and brain, sensory organs, heart, taste buds and genitals are actively developing. The umbilical cord and placenta have already formed. Future baby able to feel parents' touch on stomach , with loud sounds, his heart beats faster, his eyes react to light, his ears react to sounds.

What can parents do?

Now it is important to “establish contact” with the baby, and the easiest way to do this is through music. According to research, classic is the best option – babies like it more than others in the womb, and Vivaldi and Mozart are “useful” for the active development of the brain and the formation of the nervous system.
As for rock music and heavier genres, they excite the child and even cause fear. Classical music and folk lullabies have a calming, lulling effect . Once born, the baby will easily fall asleep (both during the day and at night) to the already familiar melody. Relaxation music - sounds of the sea, forest, etc. will also be beneficial.
The personal relationships of the spouses are no less important during this period. All conflicts and misunderstandings will be reflected after the birth of the baby on his character. Therefore, careful, warm relationships and caring for each other are the most important thing now.
No negative thoughts! The child begins to accumulate information, and the mother’s task is to protect the baby from any negativity. All the mother’s fears can be “inherited” to the child; all the negative emotions experienced by the mother will be deposited in his subconscious. Not to mention that any mother’s stress affects the baby through hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
Sing to your little one. Mom's voice is the best in the world. It will calm, lull, and give a feeling of security. And read fairy tales - kind and beautiful. And if they are in other languages, even better (learning languages with such “preparation” will not be a problem for the child).

Sports and active lifestyle at 4 months of pregnancy

Your baby is already making his first movements, his ears and fingers are forming. The head grows, all organs and systems are actively developing, and the rudiments of teeth appear. The 4th month is the time to “lay the foundation.” The future character of the child, intellectual abilities and even laziness are being formed, according to experts, right now.

What can parents do?

Mom shouldn't lock herself in the apartment and tremble with every step she takes. (unless recommended by a doctor) - lead an active life, meet friends, take regular walks.
Don’t be lazy to get up in the morning, don’t disrupt your daily routine. By getting used to watching romantic comedies (for example) at night and eating sweets, you risk introducing this habit to your baby.
Don't exclude sports from your life. Of course, you shouldn’t jump with a parachute, fly a bungee, or conquer peaks, but light sports are not only not contraindicated, but also recommended. As a last resort, there are always options such as special physical education, yoga for pregnant women.
Remember to eat healthy. By adhering to the right attitude towards food, you shape the tastes of your baby’s future. Read also: .

Fathers and children at the 5th month of the baby's intrauterine life

The baby is already moving quite intensively, his height is more than 20 cm, hairs on the top of his head are beginning to grow, eyelashes and eyebrows are appearing. This period is important for forming a close bond between the baby and his father.

What can dad do?

Of course, the father will not be able to communicate with the child as closely as the expectant mother. But you definitely need to find time to communicate with your baby. Stroke your spouse's belly, read fairy tales to your baby, talk to him, don't forget to say good night and kiss him in the morning before leaving for work. Your participation in the life of your baby before birth is the key to a future close and close relationship with your child.
If your spouse is nervous, crying or angry, calm your baby down – thereby you smooth out the impact of negative emotions on the psyche of the future baby. And at the same time teach your mother to control her emotions.
Do not be shy with your spouse and relatives - sing lullabies to your child. The low-frequency voice of the father, according to research, has a beneficial effect not only on the development of the child’s psyche, but also on the development of his reproductive system.
Children with whom both mother and father communicated before birth endure childbirth more easily, and their intelligence develops faster than their peers.
Having remembered in the womb the gentle voice and timbre of my father, a newborn will fall asleep just as calmly with his father like in your mother's arms.

We develop a desire for beauty in the future baby during the 6th month of life in the womb

The baby is already 33 cm tall, weighs about 800 g, and his fingers and toes are already visible. The eyes open and are sensitive to light. In a situation of premature birth, the baby (with appropriate intensive medical care) able to survive .

As experts say, at this stage there is an impact on acquiring bad/good taste and even external appearance . As for appearance, this is an unproven fact, but a mother can very well instill in her baby the right taste.

What to do, how to raise a child in the womb?

All eyes on art ! Let's get enlightened, relax with benefit, enjoy the beauty of nature and art.
Watch good positive films and read classic literature (better out loud).
Go to an interesting exhibition, gallery, museum or theater . Preferably together with your spouse.
Get creative and art therapy . Draw as best you can, without hesitation, putting all your love for your baby into the paintings.
Learn to dance, crochet or make jewelry . Creativity that brings pleasure to the mother is beneficial for the psyche and development of the baby.

Teaching your baby to relax at 7 months of pregnancy

Your baby no longer only reacts to sounds and light, but also sleeps, is awake, distinguishes sour from sweet, remembers the voices of mom and dad and sucks his thumb. During this period, it is important for the mother to establish close contact with the baby.

Learn one of the relaxation techniques – yoga, meditation, etc.
Take a regular break from the hustle and bustle and turn on pleasant music, relax and tune in to the “same wavelength” with your child.
Rub your tummy , compose fairy tales out loud, read children's poems from memory.
Remember that your “relaxation” during pregnancy is this is the baby’s stable psyche in the future , high immunity, easy tolerance to stress and restful sleep.
Use light and tactile “games”. Touch the belly, play with the baby's heels, wait until he responds to the touch. With the help of dad and a flashlight, you can play “light/dark” with the baby, directing the beam to the stomach.

We communicate with the baby and teach him to enjoy life at 8 months inside the womb

The baby is already sees and hears perfectly. With the exception of the lungs, all systems are well developed. The brain is developing rapidly. The more positive things are in a mother’s life now, the more actively the baby develops, the stronger his health and psyche.

Use every opportunity to get positive emotions. Go for a massage or to a beauty salon, use aroma and color therapy, surround yourself only with good people and beautiful things.
Your baby already knows your reaction to stressors and positive moments . If you learn to quickly cope with stress, and your rapid heartbeat at this moment will be short-lived, the baby will remember your reaction and after birth will delight you with emotional stability.
The baby is now absorbing information at the cellular level. By explaining to him everything that is happening, calming him down, suppressing negative emotions in himself, you are programming the character of a strong and strong-willed person.

Preparing your baby to meet the world at 9 months pregnant

Your little one is about to be born. All organs are already fully formed, there is practically no room for the baby to move, he is gaining strength to go out into the world, and your task is to fully help him with this.

Gift from a healer

"All the magic of creation is kept
even in the smallest grain"

"Valley of Ferns"

In one Karelian city there lived a beautiful young woman who was loved by a strong, noble man, but the problem was that they had no children. They met smart people, they read smart books, they attended smart lectures, but there were still no children... Someone they knew advised them to turn to their grandmother, they say, she will whisper and help, it seems that this has already happened. Her husband was skeptical about such proposals from friends, saying it was superstition...
For a week the woman fiddled with the piece of paper with the address in her pocket and finally made up her mind... On a sunny morning, she left the house and, filled with the most romantic expectations, boarded the bus taking her out of town. This dubious journey was illuminated by the only timid hope - to conceive a long-awaited child. The thought of a child warmed my heart and spread throughout my body. Somewhere below there was a pain, and she remembered how, as a young girl, she was going on a date to her beloved. The anticipation of mysterious changes overwhelmed her at that moment. And their first intimacy took place on this very day. The world then changed around, it appeared in all its diversity, previously unknown aspects of life became visible, and it seemed that nature protected and cherished this transition from a girl to a woman. And now this inner flight and expectation of the amazing there, around the corner, has arisen.
She closed her eyes and saw a baby, about three years old, waving his hand at her and laughing merrily...
Meanwhile, the bus left the city and drove along the sandy beach of Lake Onega. Suddenly, a sharp chill ran down the young woman’s back - crosses and grave mounds flashed outside the window. How her mood was not connected with this sad cemetery, but, as if on purpose, it dragged on and on...
The final station was located right on the border between the cemetery and the village. She got off the bus, hoping to quickly leave this sad place and had already turned her back to him, when someone’s quiet hand touched her shoulder, and a good-natured voice asked:
-Are you going to Yegorovna? - and, without waiting, he answered: - Yes, you should go there.
The woman turned around and saw that the house she needed was adjacent to the cemetery fence with one wall, and all the other houses in the village were very far from it. She backed away and decided to follow that kind grandmother who showed her the way, maybe she would explain something, teach something, it wasn’t in vain that she spent so much time traveling. But the grandmother seemed to disappear into thin air. There was not a soul around, and the sun began to be obscured by heavy autumn clouds. The unexpected twilight made everything around in contrast. It became boring to stand alone at the bus stop, and by inertia the woman wandered towards the house. She hardly forced herself to go to the gate and open it. The first thing that caught my eye was the huge number of cats. The cats lay on the branches of trees, like shapeless living fruits, walking sedately around the yard, weaving between the bushes. They jumped, stood, sat, walked on the roof, entered the house and came out of the windows. And from the sight of this teeming courtyard, the last surges of the romantic mood finally disappeared. Confusion and fear settled in my soul.
The mistress of the house, an old woman with a withered, stern, wrinkled face and two long gray braids, the thickness of which any young girl would envy, came out onto the threshold. At the same time, her look was like that of a mischievous girl about to play another trick. She grumbled hoarsely at her cats, like a tired mother at small children.
- Who would hang this cat, I would give three rubles! - And the “condemned man” immediately rushed to the hostess and began to proudly rub himself against her legs, as if he had just been called with a kind word, and the rest patiently waited for such precious attention to fall to their lot. They caught her every word and respectfully turned their muzzles behind the walking old woman. Horrified by everything she saw and heard, the young woman was about to turn around and quietly sneak away from here, when the grandmother turned sharply and creaked:
- Come in, since you came! What do you need?
The woman shuddered in surprise.
- I, grandma, can’t conceive a child. Help! People say you can...
- People say? Hm! - the old woman’s eyes sparkled with cunning, she slowly shook her head left and right.
- Don’t they say that you need a good man, not a grandmother, to give birth, but faith in him, and your love, which is capable of creating a child?
“We can’t do it, grandma,” the woman stammered. Her vocal cords did not obey her at all, and instead of a ringing young voice, all she got was a hiss.
- My husband and I have been trying for seven years now, and we went to doctors, stayed in the hospital, took pills according to the regimen, put ice on my husband...
- From the last phrase the old woman burst into a hoarse, booming laugh:
- They applied ice... Didn’t they freeze the last ability?
She suddenly stopped laughing and said sternly:
- You're all fluttering! And you need to sew stones into your hem so that it pulls down, so that the earth nourishes and gives strength. You can't sew it into your pants. Take off your pants and sit with your bare bottom under a birch tree in the yard,” and with an imperious movement of her hand the old woman pointed to the old lonely birch tree.
Everything that happened next happened as if in a dream. Everything was confused in her head, the woman obediently, like a little girl, undressed naked and wandered into the yard. Near the birch tree, her legs weakened, she fell between the roots spreading along the ground, and closed her eyes. The ground was wet and cold, and the young woman felt lonely and deeply unhappy. She no longer had the strength to resist what was happening and think. The body relaxed, and the feeling of autumn freshness penetrated her to the very top of her head... Her head suddenly became empty and light. The woman was surprised to notice that she was no longer cold, but on the contrary, some subtle source of heat was flaring up in the lower abdomen and pleasantly filling the whole body with its breath. She opened her eyes and saw a red spot, which transformed into a scarf on the old woman’s head. The grandmother muttered something under her breath, as if she was talking to herself:
- Whatever happens to you, don’t throw rags with blood in the trash, but burn them, wash them off with water, or bury them in the ground.
The old woman tore three rods from the birch tree and began to whip the woman from head to toe, each one in turn, saying:
I cut off the blow, I remove the commotion
To the old, to the new,
End the month.
At dawn,
At the evening dawn,
Every day
at every time.
When all three rods passed from the right hand to the left, the grandmother broke them and threw them over her left shoulder, without looking back. Her face changed strangely; she seemed to look younger. The look became like that of a kind, wise mother, affectionate and gentle. The old woman continued her divination. She took a wooden ladle, scooped up water from the tub and began stirring it with her hand, whispering:
Day, day, night.
I put my hands in the water,
Midnighters, don't stare, don't fool around
To God's servant Varvara,
And stare and roll around
On the bast lattice,
Amen.
"How does she know my name?" - flashed through the woman’s head. At this time, a stream of cold water fell on her from a ladle overturned by the old woman.
- Varenka! Give your dear mother all your pain, all your ailments and fears; she, my dear one, will reward you a hundredfold just because you turned to her.
The old woman's voice rang, and there was a feeling that a young beautiful girl in a long white dress with black spots was standing in front of her. Varya clearly saw her like this through closed eyelids, beautiful, with flowing black hair and a dress that seemed to be sewn from birch bark, light and rustling.
It became incredibly warm. Water flowed down the body and soaked into the ground. It seemed that the earth gratefully accepted everything: pain, fears, despair, resentment, and fatigue. And in return it gives strength and wisdom.
"Mother!" - her head rang, - “Mother Earth! Only she is able to accept any of me, take all the pain and mistakes and give love. Here it is! The state of the Mother! It seems that I have learned to think again...” - the woman looked around . The world rejoiced, shimmering with the brightness of colors...
“And see,” she thought.
The wind swayed the birch tree, and because it slowed down his fast flight, and because he was desperately trying to break through the light web of branches, music sounded. Symphony of nature.
Not remembering how, Varya ended up at a bus stop. From the outside it seemed that she did not notice anything around her. But she noticed everything: how a maple leaf floats across the silver surface of a puddle, how the trees bow to the setting sun, how the wind sees off the passing day with its song. The old woman’s last words clearly sounded in her head:
- Now I won’t take your money. When the time comes, you will bring it yourself. When you become heavy, don’t live with your husband for three months. Go, with God.
In the evening, Varya told her husband about her trip. Tears sparkled in his eyes because his little girl had to resort to such methods out of desire to give birth to their baby.
“It’s good that nothing bad happened to you,” he said. And her soul rejoiced, she even wrote the first poems in her life:
While you decide: to be or not to be,
While you're wondering if there was any damage,
I love looking out the window so much
Where a raven builds a nest from birch branches.

And the sun slowly creeps over the horizon,
Throwing a thin ray into the crow's creation,
And the web of branches protects
Appearance from the eyes of my children.

While you are looking for: God's or not,
Hiding inspiration from prying eyes,
With a gentle hand your Angel will protect
There is a work in your soul of love.
Three months have passed. Life went on as usual. Varya no longer remembered her grandmother. I no longer dreamed about pregnancy and children; my husband and I tried to avoid such topics. Previously tested methods of raising vitality did not work. Neither noisy companies, nor walks through fashionable stores, nor her favorite gym with a solarium and sauna brought her out of the state of loneliness and abandonment. She was bored with her old friends, her husband was at work most of the time, and the once frivolous, always cheerful woman plunged into herself, became wild and withdrawn. The abyss of the unknown depths of her own soul swallowed her headlong, and disgusting monsters of worthlessness, inferiority and inferiority surrounded her on all sides. At night Varya was tormented by insomnia; in the morning she had difficulty remembering her name. Thoughts about death began to creep into her head more and more often, and the sensations of old age and fatigue changed her face beyond recognition.

One single desire moved Varya and gave her strength to live. She was more and more drawn to nature. In winter, she spent hours skiing in the forest, and sometimes stood for a long time, leaning her back against the trunk of a tree. She was especially attracted by the white-trunked beauties of birch trees. It was pleasant for her to run her hand along the trunk, trying to feel every irregularity with her fingers, and at these moments it seemed to her that the tree was talking to her, comforting her and teaching her wisdom. The fact that the trees became friends alarmed Varya, but also lulled her at the same time. Questions naturally arose: “Am I crazy? Maybe I’m just crazy?” But more often she thought that everyone around her was crazy.
So, skiing past a small private house, Varya suddenly stopped and for no apparent reason burst into tears. What brought her to this state, she could not understand. She quickly left this place and calmed down. But when I drove back through the same yard, tears came to my eyes again. Varya looked around and saw a large pile of birch firewood in the middle of the yard. Only now did she understand where the source of her sadness was.
It couldn't go on like this. It was necessary to explain her heightened nervous state and find some way out. A close friend advised me to go to the sea in the summer, they say, you will relax, new faces, bars, discos. My heart immediately responded to this proposal. “But not to a resort town, but to nature, with a tent,” she thought. Varya nurtured this idea for several weeks, carefully choosing the words she would say to her husband. And every time I wanted to, but could not start a conversation.
Imagine her surprise when one day at dinner her husband said:
- I don’t know what’s happening to you, but I know that you need a change of scenery, to leave here for a while. Let's go to the sea as savages in the summer?!
From surprise, Varya was thrown first into the cold, then into the heat. A lump rose in her throat, and with tears of tenderness and gratitude she threw herself on her sweetheart’s chest. He hugged her and whispered:
- My girl!
She felt small, fragile, but reliably protected in his strong embrace... They no longer remembered the last time they felt so good together, or maybe it was the first time?! It was as if an invisible magical thread passed through his and her entire body and securely tied them somewhere above, connecting them forever.
And then small miracles began to happen: one of my long-forgotten friends called and offered to buy a tent. Then Varya’s mother gave her son-in-law a large backpack, and finally they met people who every year went on vacation in this way to one of the protected places in Crimea.
The sooner nature woke up from its winter sleep, the clearer it became that the trip would take place.
When the river woke up from its sleep,
And the trees are shrouded in a light haze,
Spring is coming into the world with a light tread, ringing.
From bird voices in a colorful necklace.

While they want to rob us,
The children of the Sun will teach us to love,
And then we will walk in the dark,
After all, we are more than we are
And we also try to live right
On the way to our clear star.

A little boy lived in one large apartment. And his name was Tummy.

Tummy was a very good and kind boy. He loved his parents very much, he loved his friends, and in general, Tummy loved everyone who surrounded him. In the morning, when Tummy woke up, he ran as fast as he could to his parents’ bedroom to hug and kiss his mom and dad after a long night of separation. The parents also loved their boy very much and were always happy when the little toddler climbed into their bed to wish them good morning with his sweet childish voice.

But little Tummy had one very big problem: he forgot to wash his hands. No, he did this not because he was a lazy boy, and not even out of spite - Tummy thought that this was not very important, and therefore he completely forgot to wash his little chubby hands with soap.

- Tummy, have you washed your hands? - Mom asked when they returned home from a walk.

- Yes mom! - Tummy answered cheerfully, laying out his favorite toys on the floor. But in fact, Tummy didn’t even think about washing his hands.

Sometimes Tummy looked at his pink palms and thought: “Why wash your hands if they are already clean? Is there any dirt on them? No - they are clean. My mom and dad are probably just kidding when they say you need to wash your hands. Then I will also joke and say that I washed them. It's so fun and interesting. And I love mom and dad so much.” And with these good thoughts, Tummy stopped washing his hands altogether, even when he sat down at the table to eat.

And then one day, trouble came to the house where Tummy lived - little Tummy got sick. He lay in his small bed and could not move - his strength had left him. Mom and Dad called the doctor. A tall man came in a clean white robe. He sat down on a chair next to Tummy's crib, folding his long white fingers on his knees. Tummy looked at the doctor with interest.

- So, where can you wash your hands before I start examining Tummy? - asked the uncle. Tummy looked at the doctor’s hands and asked:

– Why do you need to wash your hands if they are already clean?

“Of course, you don’t see them, my little friend,” the uncle said just as cheerfully. “They are so small that they are only visible under a microscope. A microscope is a special tube through which you can see something that is not visible to the ordinary eye.

- Don’t you wash your hands? – the doctor asked worriedly.

“I haven’t washed my hands for a long time, because I thought they were already clean,” said the upset Tummy.

“Tummy, then why did you tell dad and me that you washed your hands when we reminded you?” - asked Tummy the upset mother, who was standing next to the doctor and wiping away tears.

“Mom, I thought you were joking like that, and that’s why I also joked that I washed my hands.”

“Tummy, if mom or dad say that something needs to be done, and more than once, it means that this is not a joke, but concern for you so that you grow up as a healthy, kind and strong boy,” said the uncle-doctor. “And it turns out that you deceived your parents.”

The tummy was very upset and even cried. And then he hugged his mother, who sat down on the bed, and said:

- Mommy, forgive me, please. I didn't know it was so important to wash your hands when you tell me about it. It turns out that I was deceiving you. But I didn't do it on purpose.

- It's okay, my little Tummy. But promise me that from now on you will always listen to what I tell you.

“I promise, mommy,” said the cheerful Tummy.
