Everyone is in bed and I thought oh this programme looks imteresting to watch...it's called Stress and how it affects the body....
Half way through it switches to a documentry and data that was and is collected by a Professor in Holland when it was occupied by the Germans during world war two on babies who were carried in the latter part of 1944 during the Dutch Winter.....which I was, and how these babies were stressed during invitro which has altered there cells ...Left imprints.... It's been documented that these children have different reations to some stresses of life more then other babies born elsewhere at the same time.....Now it is something that I have thought about for sometime as I get stessed about strange things ..... like Airports ....... I have always wondered if having been carried during such a savage time in the war.....and my parents living so close to the German Border if all that did'nt affect my Mother and if that may have had an affect on me as a Fetus...
I remember my Mother telling me that while she was in labour she could hear bombs going off around her.
intersting....I will continue watching
MAkes sense, doesn't it? xxx
ReplyDeleteMore and more we hear of how we have reacted as infants to trauma, in and out of the womb. One new stategy now is that we have available a kind of 'comfort suit' {I can't think of the actually term}. This is placed on children on their bodies as it acts as a kind of comforter for them.
ReplyDeleteWe have a 'thunder shirt' for our little dog Friday as he gets really stressed in high winds and rain and thunder and lightning. Once it is on him, he is really settled.
I know a child in Katiya's class wears one and he is less figety, able to sit better and concentrate more etc.
