Prenatal Memory: How to Accept Love from Our Children

Dr. Akira Ikegawa opened a maternity clinic in Japan and has been helping
parents handle childbirth for 40 years. His interest in ensuring the healthy growth of
children and a happy family life was stimulated while interacting with the people who
visited his clinic. His research on prenatal memory resulted in a new parenting method
designed to increase the happiness of parents and children. He discovered that parents
must be conscious of receiving love from their children. In this paper, Ikegawa compares
his experience with standard obstetrical practices in Japan and his experience after
introducing the Prenatal Memory method in his clinic. He also provides thoughts on
Prenatal Memory Education, which evolved from prenatal memory research from Japan
