The Importance Of Fetal Early Education

Throughout this essay I will be discussing the holistic impact a premature baby within the neonatal units has on not only the child but also the immediate family. There are many health issues which can affect the child but also other issues including attachment to the mother which can also have a long-term effect on the child. This can also influence the family as there may be financial implications on the family due to these extra unexpected costs. Throughout this essay I will be discussing these topics in detail.

They teach their fetuses about abundances, scarcity, safety, and harm. Annie argued that learning is an essential quality of life that begins way before we can imagine. It is important to understand the way mothers contribute to the learning of the fetus before they’re even

The old and popular debate between ‘nature vs. nurture’ has generated a lot of interest in newborns, who were previously thought to be ‘blank slates’, and has contributed a lot to developmental psychology, a field of psychology focusing on studying infants. It is now generally accepted that both nature and nurture make equal contribution to the infant’s development.

The two pieces of information that I was surprised about is the fact that it is recommended that pregnant women get a moderate amount of exercise during pregnancy, I had always thought that a pregnant woman should not exercise or exert any physical effort because it may harm the baby, I was also surprised to see that food safety was mentioned as part of a healthy eating pattern. I knew that you could become ill from undercooked food or unsanitary conditions but had never considered food safety as part of a healthy eating practice, I had always considered healthy eating as just choosing healthy foods to eat and not the food prep that goes along with eating healthy.

There is a perplexing gap between the understanding that babies are born with innate characteristics and the understanding that they inherit these characteristics from their parents. Besides, the puzzling gap between the understandings that a baby is born with inborn characteristics that they inherit from their parents (Harris, 2000).

about the options that they have. Many don’t know that at week six the baby has a heartbeat. They don’t know that at week eight that their baby is having brain activity,and that at week nine there baby has fingers and toes and several of there vital organs. They need to know that it is a life inside of them. They also need to know that there is help for them if they don’t have sufficient finances or a stable life. And lastly they need to know the negative health and side affects

Physical development of the human begins at conception when the egg is fertilized by the sperm. Once the ovum is fertilized, the process of mitosis begins, allowing the cells to split and form the human being. Through this process, each parent contributes 23 chromosomes, which are present in every cell of our bodies, and are made up of DNA and genes (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). The genes that we inherit from our parents determine our physical features, such as hair and eye color, and height. Furthermore, the combination of various genes within the body at the time of conception may result in the individual carrying unexpected traits and illnesses (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015).

Alexandra Tsiaras came up with a phenomenal way of describing conception to birth in his interview he did for Ted Talk. There were several things and little details that I truthfully did not know happened so fast during a woman’s pregnancy. It amazes me how people can go through with abortion after watching a video like Conception to Birth. Alexandra Tsiara’s visuals on conception to birth show a whole new outline of how fast a baby becomes a human, and that makes it that much more precious.

are already learning at birth, and they build up and learn at a rapid pace in their early years when

Advancement made in regard to cognitive neuroscience has enabled a better understanding of the cognitive processes in infants. Studies have indicated that cognitive development in infants starts before they are born. In the eighth week of pregnancy, fetuses have the ability to hear. They become accustomed to their

“We have known for a long time that how we turn out depends on both our genes and our environment. What we now realize is that the influence of the environment begins in the womb, and how the mother feels during pregnancy can change this environment and can have a lasting effect on the development of her child.” (Karraa, W. (2012, September 28). Begin Before Birth; Reproductive Researchers Reach Wide Audiences with New Interactive Website. In Science and Sensbility. Retrieved October 31, 2015, from http://www.scienceandsensibility.org/begin-before-birth-reproductive-researchers-reach-wide-audiences-with-new-interactive-website/). I have found countless books, articles, websites, even applications for phones dedicated to pregnancy nutrition,

From just a single cell, a series of moments of development have been adding up. While we all followed the same path through our first eight weeks in the womb, we all did it in our unique way. Each one of us is defined by this extraordinary time in our development, a time that continues to affect us all. From our first breath to our very

Thanks to the increase in technological innovations, the life in the womb is not as mysterious as it used to be. Scientists are able to gain a glimpse of the formation of life and the struggles it entails. Despite this view one question has not yet been answered is “Can babies learn while in the womb?” Some scientists have been able to derive that newborns process vocal information in the real world through their prenatal exposure to their mother’s voice or other speech patterns. However, this is not indicative of the more general mechanisms of learning. That is why scientists Schaal and Marlier decided to test another aspect of learning by asking the specific question “Are babies able to acquire and store information from olfactory cues obtained in the womb?”

On Swedish soil, in September of 2014, a miracle happened. The world witnessed the first ever baby to be born from a woman’s transplanted womb. A healthy baby boy, to be exact. Scientists have marveled over this new advancement simply because of the fact that they have been trying to do just this for years without success. Trial after trial has been made over the years, but the professors and scientists of the University of Gothenburg (where the baby was born) weren’t giving up. And good thing they didn’t, because their work has certainly paid off. This is a huge landmark for medical science all over the world, as there is now a way for women who have uterus problems (for one reason or another) to have children.

You live and you learn, from the moment that we breathe our first breath, we are assimilating and are acquiring information. Life changing and profound learning experiences happen before we can even speak, as children our learning process is grandiose. Harvard University published a series of summaries on Child development. One of these articles mentions that “The basic architecture of the brain is constructed through an ongoing process that begins before birth and continues into adulthood.” ("InBrief: The Science of Early Childhood Development," n.d.).
