When is prenatal education the most scientific?

In order to keep children from losing at the starting line, more and more parents begin to pay attention to prenatal education. However, in the specific implementation, everyone may have various doubts. For example, where does prenatal education begin, when does it achieve the best results, what are the contents of prenatal education, and so on.

1. When does prenatal education start?

Prenatal education in a broad sense begins with mate selection. Because the spouse's looks and temperament, health status, thoughts and personality will have an impact on the fetus. Prenatal education in a narrow sense begins with conception. Once the embryo is formed, it begins to develop and grow, and prenatal education should be adhered to throughout pregnancy. However, prenatal education is counterproductive if it is not timely, so prenatal education is a course that prospective parents should study hard.

1, the time of prenatal education depends on the characteristics of fetal development.

It is recognized by the medical community that the fetus of 4 months is sensitive to light, the fetus of 5-6 months has good sense of touch and taste, and the fetus of 7-8 months has begun to develop hearing. At this time, the fetus is also accompanied by the ability to dream, remember and think. This means that in addition to the normal physiological development process, the mind of the fetus has begun to develop before delivery.

In the process of continuous development and perfection of fetal nervous system, pregnant women are well stimulated by the outside world and maintain a good psychological state, which can promote the balance and coordination of endocrine system and transmit it to the fetus through blood and placenta, providing positive energy for the physical and mental development of the fetus. This is the charm of scientific prenatal education.

2. When is prenatal education more beneficial to the fetus?

As a way to promote fetal development, prenatal education can undoubtedly run through the whole pregnancy.

1) After 8 months of pregnancy: Regular prenatal education is more beneficial.

Studies have shown that the EEG of the 8-month-old fetus is in the same state as that of the newborn. That is to say, when the fetus is 8 months old, the cerebral cortex has begun to have its own unique function, directing the activities of the fetal hearing, smell and pronunciation organs. In this way, the fetus in the uterus can be educated regularly and moderately. Therefore, it is more appropriate to have regular prenatal education after 8 months (that is, 32 weeks of pregnancy).

2) 8 months before pregnancy: general prenatal education is medium.

So can't prenatal education be carried out before this? Obviously not. For example, in the early stage of pregnancy, expectant mothers can have emotional prenatal education; Mild prenatal education and tactile prenatal education can be carried out in the second trimester to cater to the visual and auditory development of the fetus. Nutritional prenatal education can also run through the whole pregnancy. Everything is only in one degree.

Second, the preparation work before the start of prenatal education

1, make a good prenatal education plan

Before you give your baby prenatal education, you must make a good plan first, and you must not blindly train. It is best to have fixed prenatal education time, scientific and reasonable prenatal education methods and tools in the plan.

2. Combination of various prenatal education methods

With more and more attention paid to early childhood education, the methods of prenatal education are changing with each passing day. Pregnant mothers can choose prenatal education methods suitable for themselves and their babies according to their actual situation, which can be combined in many ways. For example: music prenatal education, artistic prenatal education, emotional prenatal education and so on.

3. Prepare prenatal education tools in advance.

Some prenatal education tools, such as players, discs, tapes, etc. If necessary, you should prepare in advance before prenatal education. In order to avoid being in a hurry when prenatal education is needed, it will affect the prenatal education plan.

4. Keep a prenatal education diary.

Being pregnant in October is both nervous and exciting for pregnant mothers. When I am about to see the baby in my belly, I must have a lot to say to it. At this time, expectant mothers can prepare a prenatal education diary and write down the process of prenatal education every day and what they want to say to their babies. This is also a precious gift for the baby.

Third, the precautions for starting prenatal education

Although prenatal education is beneficial to the baby's growth and development, it can't be carried out at will anytime and anywhere. The fetus spends most of its time in the mother's body in sleep. Therefore, in order not to affect the sleep of the fetus as much as possible, prenatal education should be carried out according to the law of the baby's physical and mental development, and the time should be arranged reasonably. Here are some precautions that pregnant mothers need to pay attention to:

1, prenatal education should be timely and moderate.

In order to keep consistent with the baby's schedule, prenatal education needs to be timely and appropriate. First, pregnant mothers should always observe the movement of the fetus in the abdomen and understand its activity law. Fetal education chooses the time when the fetus wakes up, and it is best to control the time of each prenatal education within 20 minutes. Second, prenatal education needs to be timely and appropriate. Carry out prenatal education at a fixed time every day, so that the baby can develop regular living habits. Third, prenatal education needs sensibility. Expectant mothers can't take prenatal education as a task. In the process of prenatal education, expectant mothers need to concentrate and devote themselves wholeheartedly to establish the initial parent-child relationship with their babies.

2. Provide a good environment for the fetus

For the baby, a good environment is that mommy keeps a happy mood and takes in enough nutrition. A good environment is the most natural and useful prenatal education, which is more conducive to the baby's growth and development than external stimulation.

3. Pay attention to the baby's reaction when teaching.

If the baby suddenly moves frequently during prenatal education, it means he doesn't like it. At this time, teaching should be suspended, and blindly continuing may cause discomfort to the baby.

Babies who are receiving prenatal education will generally have the following reactions: when it is time to listen to music, there will be frequent fetal movements, indicating that they want to listen. When you hear music, you stop to show that you are listening. When there is a pause between two pieces of music, fetal movements begin to be frequent again, indicating that the baby is listening carefully. After the music ended, the fetal movement began again.

Fourth, the method of scientific prenatal education for pregnant women

There are many methods of scientific prenatal education. Pregnant mothers may wish to choose one that they like and is suitable for their baby.

1, music prenatal education

Wonderful music can promote the brain development of the fetus, relieve the anxiety of expectant mothers and open the baby's musical intelligence in advance.

Prenatal music should choose soft melody, and those music with too strong rhythm or too loud sound are noise to the baby. The rhythm of prenatal education music should be in tune with the rhythm of fetal movement as much as possible. World famous songs, nursery rhymes and light music are the best prenatal education music.

Methods: Pregnant women should not have music prenatal education for too many times and too long. 2-3 times a day, 20-30 minutes each time. The music you listen to every day should be relatively fixed, and frequent changes will make your baby uncomfortable; The acoustic response of music is controlled at about 75 decibels.

2. Emotional prenatal education

Maintaining a happy mood and adequate nutrition is the best prenatal education for babies, that is, emotional prenatal education. When the baby is in the mother's body, the earliest contact sound comes from the mother's heartbeat and pulse. The baby can feel mommy's mood from the frequency of mommy's heartbeat. Therefore, it is the first condition for expectant mothers to learn to control their emotions and treat people and things calmly.

Methods: Pregnant mothers may wish to choose some ways they like and keep a happy, positive and peaceful attitude. For example, walking, reading, chatting, doing handicrafts and so on.

3. Nutrition prenatal education

Methods: Three meals should be regularly scheduled, and both are indispensable. Nutrition should be balanced and diverse, eat more fruits and vegetables, try to supplement nutrition with food, and don't use health care products.

Step 4 touch prenatal education

It is a baby's nature to be caressed by his mother. Expectant mothers often touch their abdomen gently, which is to communicate with the baby in advance, but also to stimulate the baby's enthusiasm for activities and promote the coordinated development of the body and brain.

Methods: Mother lies flat on the bed before going to bed every day, relaxes her abdomen and gently caresses her baby from top to bottom and from left to right. Each time lasts 5- 10 minutes. You can also choose a fixed time period in the afternoon.

Long-term light stimulation will make the baby's visual system, movements and behaviors develop well after birth, showing strong ability to distinguish day and night.

Methods: Pregnant mothers spend 2 minutes every day shining a flashlight on their baby's head.

7, dialogue prenatal education

Methods: The expectant mother and father should talk to the baby every day, say good morning to the baby in the morning, share interesting things with the baby from time to time and express their love for the baby, and say good night to the baby before going to bed at night.

8. Exercise prenatal education

Exercise prenatal education is suitable for 5-9 weeks after pregnancy. Expectant mothers can try to do some simple little gymnastics or do some relaxing exercises. This is helpful for natural delivery and can also reduce the injury rate of perineal muscles during pregnancy.

Methods: When pregnant mommy feels fetal movement, she slowly relaxes her whole body and lies on her back. Touch your stomach gently and regularly from top to bottom and from left to right. You can also gently press the baby with your fingers and feel the baby crawling slowly and gently with the pressure of your fingers.
