Characteristics

Baby is developing within the womb. An unborn child receives physical impressions of the environment outside the womb via the mother's physical and emotional responses. The nervous system is actively forming the senses of sight, sound, taste, and touch ( -- from The Secret Life of the Unborn Child by Dr. Thomas Verny).

First priority: Love
Area	What you should know	Recommended products	Where to get it

If you are playing music and language tapes, see your baby's neurological pathways forming strong networks in his developing mind.	(Please see books in above section.)

Second Priority: Education
Before you begin... Please take a moment before exposing your baby to any type of stimulation to relax and "listen" to his or her needs. Is it time for peaceful, quietude? Is it time for joyful learning play? Let your instincts be your guide. Pregnancy is a wonderful opportunity to fine tune your intuitive awareness of your baby's needs.

Art and Science	This is a time for you, as mother, to surround yourself with beauty and culture. Take this opportunity to follow your educational passions and seek knowledge for yourself. Your intuition may lead you to important works of science and/or art that make an indelible impression upon the developing baby in the womb. There are many stories from history, as well as from the classroom, where a pregnant mother is drawn to a field of interest and studies it... to find the child later follows it as his major life mission.
