Every day we realize the vital importance of those nine months that moms carry our babies inside the womb. To what extent the life inside the uterus marks the later life of the human being. Each time, luckily, we have more data.
The topic continues to be deepened, since the latest is a study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry which ensures that low-weight babies are at higher risk for adult depression.
But beware, this does not mean that because they are small they will suffer depression, but that the key is in why are they small at birth.
When the living conditions of the baby inside the womb are adverse, that is, instead of spending 9 quiet months in mom's womb, she spent them under a state of stress, the fetus received less food.
The mother's stress causes the flow of blood that brings nutrients to the baby to be restricted, causing her to be born with a lower weight than desired (we don't talk about premature babies).
In turn, this lack of nutrients inside the uterus causes an automatic response in the baby's brain that is already programmed in the face of stress situations that will live throughout his life. Thus, each program from the uterus his own response to stress.
Of course, the personal situations that each person lives throughout his life are those that end up causing depression, but it seems that the germ could be found in intrauterine life. Therefore, for the sake of our children's mental health, it is essential to carry a pregnancy without stress if we do not want to transmit it to the baby.
