Sharing Space,The Maternal-Fetus Relationship in the Uterus: Essential for Wellbeing through Life

Motherhood involves a mental reorganization including biological,
sociological, and emotional elements that come into being in the mother’s psyche
during conception, pregnancy, birth, and throughout life. The fetus is a partner
who engages in an active dialogue with the mother. From the moment of
fertilization, the process of development begins as part of the course of life. Preand perinatal experiences shape the child’s brain structure and functioning and
lay the foundation for their personality and sense of security and trust. The
attempts to build a replacement for the mother’s womb in which a fetus grows
have led me to re-emphasize the importance of the mother’s uterus as a uniquely
important place for the development of the fetus.
