The Nervous System During Fetal Life and Early Childhood Is Greatly Influenced by Dad's Emotions

It is common knowledge that the emotional state of a pregnant woman has a profound effect on the development of the fetus.

The baby can soak up mum's emotional traumas very easily.
In some cases mum's traumas will continue to affect the adult life of the child and cause a lot of problems - this has been observed beyond doubt.

What's less known however is that the emotional state of the father during pregnancy has a remarkable impact on the development of the nervous system of the fetus.
In one experiment researchers were monitoring the stress levels of a dad who was in London.

At the same time, they were monitoring the reactions of his unborn child who was in USA.
The experiment showed a remarkable correlation between the emotional state of the father and that of the fetus.

Every time the father went into stress, the fetus showed signs of stress as well. And the distance didn't matter.
Even if the father would have been on the Moon, his unborn child would still have been able to pick up on his stress and show a similar reaction.

This can be explained with Quantum Entanglement - a theory well known form quantum physics. So let us see how specifically dad's emotions affect the brain and the nervous system of the fetus.

The first trimester is when the reptilian brain is being developed. Any stress during that period will affect the survival mechanisms as well as the need to develop masks and be deceptive in life. If the reptilian brain is not developed properly, people tend to become reactionary.
They are also very skillful at deception and telling lies as this is perceived as part of the survival mechanism. The second trimester is when the limbic brain starts to develop. This is the memory brain, also called "the emotional brain.
" People with underdeveloped limbic system are not skillful at dealing with their emotions.
They also have problems with their intuition, they tend to be less creative, and they lack the wisdom to see the bigger picture.
Instead, they tend to be pedantic about details, and they can't think outside of the box. The third trimester is the time when the neo-cortex is being developed.

This is the part of the brain that distinguishes humans from other animals.

This is the brain that enables you to think consciously, plan, organize, make decisions, and take responsibility.
When the neo-cortex is underdeveloped in a person, the animalistic nature takes over.

Of course the development of the nervous system continues after birth but the time in the womb is vitally important and determines the foundations in brain development.
The next critical stage for the nervous system is the first 9 months after birth - this is when the pre-frontal cortex starts to develop.

The prefrontal cortex is the highest brain and relates to universal love, intelligence and wisdom.

People who achieve enlightenment in life have a highly developed prefrontal cortex. The amount of unconditional love the child receives during the first 9 months after birth is by far the most important factor in the development of the prefrontal cortex. If the world is scary, you will tend to become reactive and defensive (which sometimes can manifest as allergies, among other things).
If you receive love, you will be peaceful and content, the prefrontal cortex will tend to be more developed and the self-healing mechanism will work far better. So if you are into conscious parenting, make sure both mum and dad are aware of the effect their emotions are having on their child.
Quite often we forget that the farther has just as an important role to play in parenting as the mother.
The baby does "soak" up both mum's AND dad's emotional baggage.

That's why we can achieve very good results for the health of a young child by doing a BodyTalk session for on one or both parents. Very often, when we correct the parent's problems, their children become healthier. Other times, a BodyTalk session for the child (born or unborn) can easily clean up whatever baggage they have inherited from their parents.
