There are many ways to evaluate and assess the progress of pregnancy and the health status of a mother and her unborn child.


Sometimes, we forget, how much the fetus and the mother are in symbiosis via sound, activity and vibrations in both their bodies, and how they are connected also in unseen ways mentally and via the voice and movements and other physical and psychological ongoings, including dreams, in the body and psyche of the mother that all affect their well-being and the development of the unborn child.


Factors like language, accents, the flow of movements and rhythm of breathing of the mother also have a huge impact in the later cognitive development of the child. From the beginning of the pregnancy the developing ear and its gentle stimulation is a key also to communication skills, when the child begins to speak.


We are exploring listening skills, expand our repertoire of observation methods, and learn to refine already routined skills for looking into a wider context and dimension of pregnancy and the postnatal stage.
