Pregnancy and Prenatal Development Chapter 4
Child Growth and Development Pregnancy and Prenatal Development Chapter 4 Prepared by: Debbie Laffranchini From: Papalia, Olds, Feldman Prenatal Development: Three Stages • Germinal stage – Zygote • Embryonic stage – Embryo • Fetal stage – Fetus • Principles of development: – Cephalocaudal* – Proximodistal* Germinal Stage • Fertilization to 2 weeks • Zygote divides – Mitosis – Within 24 hours, 64 cells – Travels down the fallopian tube, approximately 3 – 4 days – Changes to a blastocyst – Cell differentiation begins • Embryonic disk – Differentiates into two layers » Ectoderm: outer layer of skin, nails, hair, teeth, sensory organs, nervous system, including brain and spinal cord » Endoderm: digestive system, liver, pancreas, salivary glands, respiratory system – Later a middle layer, mesoderm, will develop into skin, muscles, skeleton, excretory and circulatory systems – Implants about the 6th day after fertilization – Only 10% - 20% of fertilized ova complete the task of implantation • 800 billion cells eventually Germinal Stage (cont) • Blastocyst develops – Amniotic sac, outer layers, amnion, chorion, placenta and umbilical cord – Placenta allows oxygen, nourishment, and wastes to pass between mother and baby • Maternal and embryonic tissue • Placenta filters some infections • Produces hormones – To support pregnancy – Prepares mother’s breasts for lactation – Signals contractions for labor – Umbilical cord is connected to embryo • Mother’s circulatory system not directly connected to embryo system, no blood transfers Embryonic Stage: -

Read Full License Page 1/22 Abstract Background Yoga is recommended as a behavioural self-management strategy for stress. However, the evidence of how it affects women's stress perception is not much studied. Hence the present study was taken to assess the perceived stress score and to explore the experiences of pregnant women of stress management before and after prenatal yoga programme according to Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome Theory. Methods This study was made using concurrent triangulation mixed method design. Quantitative part of the study was made pretest-posttest with control group experimental study, qualitative part of the study was made phenomenological method. Quantitative data were gathered from 31 pregnant women in both yoga and control groups. As for qualitative data, 21 and 15 pregnant women were interviewed in the rst and second interviews, respectively. Pregnant Woman Description Form was used as a data collection tool; a visual analogue scale was used for measuring stress score; and the interviews were made through Semi- Structured Interview Form. The themes were determined according to the stages of Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome Theory. -
Child Maltreatment 3E Guide Cover
THIRD EDITION G.W. Medical Publishing, Inc. St. Louis THIRD EDITION Angelo P. Giardino, MD, PhD, FAAP Associate Chair – Pediatrics Associate Physician-in-Chief/Vice President, Clinical Affairs St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children Professor in Pediatrics Drexel University College of Medicine Adjunct Professor of Pediatric Nursing LaSalle University School of Nursing Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Randell Alexander, MD, PhD, FAAP Professor of Pediatrics, and Chief Division of Child Protection and Forensic Pediatrics Department of Pediatrics University of Florida Jacksonville, Florida Professor of Pediatrics Morehouse School of Medicine Atlanta, Georgia G.W. Medical Publishing, Inc. St. Louis FOREWORD Safeguarding the health and well-being of all children has been an increasing focus of modern society. We have come far from the days when parents considered their children “property.” Along the way we have instituted many measures to improve the health of children: immunizations, car seats, lead detection and abatement, the “Back to Sleep” campaign, and the “Reach Out and Read” campaign, to name a few. The battle against child abuse and neglect has also made significant strides, although the war is far from over. Twenty years ago our knowledge of normal anogenital anatomy in children was just beginning to emerge, and disclosures about child sexual abuse were often discounted as stories confabulated by children. Secrets about being molested remain hidden in many cases, but sometimes they do surface in the psychiatric and medical complaints of adult men and women. It is hoped that research as well as professional and lay educational efforts have lessened the disease burden of many sexually abused individuals. -
Healing the Body-Mind in Heart-Centered Therapies
Journal of Heart-Centered Therapies, 2006, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 75-137 © 2006 Heart-Centered Therapies Association Healing the Body-Mind in Heart-Centered Therapies David Hartman, MSW and Diane Zimberoff, M.A. * Abstract: Some of the most profound influences on human behavior may be found within the deep evolutionary streams of human nature, flowing through the hormonal and nervous systems, regulated by the instinctual “reptilian brain” (limbic system). These archaic, archetypal patterns, when denied or thwarted or undischarged, split off from the whole self and become trapped in the body. That is where we find them, and how we heal them. We assess the damaging effects of traumatic response in the womb and in childhood. If a person tends toward hyperarousal (fight/flight) response that is not effectively discharged, his/her body will tend to utilize parasympathetic dissociation as a defensive effort to achieve the semblance of homeostasis. If a person tends toward hyporarousal (freeze) response that is not effectively discharged, his/her body will tend to utilize sympathetic dissociation to achieve the semblance of homeostasis. The area of the body that is not feeling (parasympathetic dissociation) can be equally as important an indicator of stored trauma as body parts that do feel (sympathetic dissociation). We review the Theory of Structural Dissociation proposed by Nijenhuis as a way to understand the common alternation between re-experiencing trauma and detachment from or unawareness of the trauma. The primary emotions are regulated neurally. The emotional operating systems proposed by Panksepp can be divided into the primordial set (FEAR, RAGE, and SEEKING) basic to survival; and the social set (LUST, PANIC, CARE and PLAY) characteristic of mammals, which depend on the creation and maintenance of social bonds for survival. -
The Vulnerable Prenate. William R. Emerson
Correct Variant The Vulnerable Prenate William R. Emerson (USA) Abstract. Emerson reports on the effects of prenatal traumas, drawing on his 20 years of research into the significance of prenatal and perinatal experiences for an individual’s life-history. More than one trauma is usually involved. Emerson assumes that children can experience consciously before birth and also have a prenatal memory. A number of examples are given to illustrate this. One of Emerson’s important findings is that prenatal traumas may result in complications at birth. In particular, a child that suffers injury before birth may experience a normal birth as traumatic. Another significant observation is that prenatal and perinatal traumas impede an individual’s ability to form relationships and predispose him or her to violence later on. An increasing number of therapists are now able to deal with the effects of prenatal and perinatal traumas in the therapeutic setting. * The prenate (i.e., the unborn baby) is vulnerable in a number of ways that are generally unrecognized and unarticulated. Most people think or assume that prenates are unaware, and seldom attribute to them the status of being human. I recall a recent train trip, where an expectant mother sat in a smoking car filled with boisterous and noisy people. I asked her whether she had any concern for her unborn baby, and whether she thought the smoke or the noise would be bothersome to her unborn child. Her reply was, “Well of course not, my dear. They are not very intelligent or awake yet.” Nothing could be further from the truth. -

Prenatal Attachment: a Developmental Model Helen Mck
Int. J. Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine Vol. 20 (2008) No. 1/2, pp. 20–28 Prenatal Attachment: A Developmental Model Helen McK. Doan and Anona Zimerman Abstract: The attachment relationship between a pregnant woman and her developing fetus has been demonstrated to be of importance because of the potential link between prenatal attachment and parental behaviour both before and after birth (Condon & Corkindale, 1997; Pollock & Percy, 1999). While there is consistent evidence of individual differences in the level of attachment (Doan & Zimerman, 2002), there is still a need to clarify the factors that may help to explain this variation in scores. Over the past few years, our research has examined a number of cognitive, emotional and situational factors that relate to the level of prenatal attachment (Doan & Zimerman, 2003, 2006). While we have examined the effects of many factors on prenatal attachment, the two variables that most consistently related to the level of prenatal attachment are empathy and the cognitive ability to mentally represent the fetus. Against the backdrop of current research literature, we will propose an integrative framework that takes into account the linkages between empathy and cognition as a means for enlarging our understanding of the complexities of prenatal attachment. Zusammenfassung: Die Bindungsbeziehung zwischen einer Schwangeren und ihrem sich entwickelnden Kind hat sich wegen des moglichen¨ Bezuges zur vorgeburtlichen Bindungs- beziehung und elterlichem Verhalten vor und nach der Geburt als bedeutsam erwiesen (Condon & Corkindale, 1997; Pollock & Percy, 1999). W¨ahrend es eine verl¨assliche Evi- denz fur¨ individuelle Unterschiede in der Bindungsbeziehung gibt, ist es noch notwendig die Faktoren zu kl¨aren, die diese Unterschiede erkl¨aren konnen.¨ In den vergangenen Jahren hat unsere Forschung eine Anzahl von kognitiven, emotionalen und situativen Faktoren uberpr¨ uft,¨ die einen Bezug zum Grad der vorgeburtlichen Bindung haben (Doan & Zimer- man, 2003, 2006). -
