Creating a Calm and Healthy Environment for Your Baby's Development

December 11, 2023

  Avoid stimulation

Pregnant women should try to avoid watching thrilling or scary television shows and participating in tense activities. Instead, they can enjoy beautiful music and read interesting, lively and healthy literary works. Taking walks in scenic places and maintaining a normal daily routine can also help avoid a sedentary lifestyle.

Stabilize emotions

Pregnant women should strive to be in a happy and stable emotional state. They should practice self-control and avoid extreme emotions such as excessive joy, sadness, or anger. It is important to eliminate harmful information that may interfere with emotions. If a pregnant woman experiences prolonged depressive emotions for several weeks, the excessive fetal activity may continue throughout the fetal period, thereby affecting the baby's development. Psychological experiments conducted by American psychologists have shown that "emotional excitement during pregnancy can affect the emotional characteristics of offspring." It seems that a woman's emotions during pregnancy directly impact the development of the fetus.

Abdominal massage

Pregnant women can choose to gently stroke the fetus with their hands from top to bottom before bedtime. This can be done for about five minutes each time. They can also talk softly to the baby, allowing him to hear the mother's voice.

Auditory training

Select some elegant and melodious music to play several times a day for the pregnant woman to listen to. The beautiful and peaceful melody not only sounds pleasant, but also stimulates positive associations. This pleasant mood will then lead to the production of a liquid in the nervous system, which transmits the pleasant musical experience to the fetus. Experiments have shown that when exposed to music with a frequency of 250-500 Hz and an intensity of 70 decibels, the fetus exhibits calm and relaxed movements in the maternal abdomen. On the other hand, sharp, thin, and high-pitched music can cause the fetus to react in an unsettled and tense manner. Clinical observations have also indicated that when the pregnant woman reads aloud, exposing the fetus to human language sound waves, it can have a certain promoting effect on the child's language development after birth.
