Prenatal Memory: How to Accept Love from Our Children

Abstract : Dr. Akira Ikegawa opened a maternity clinic in Japan and has been helping parents handle childbirth for 40 years. His interest in ensuring the healthy growth of children and a happy family life was stimulated while interacting with the people who visited his clinic. His research on prenatal memory resulted in a new parenting method designed to increase the happiness of parents and children. He discovered that parents must be conscious of receiving love from their children. In this paper, Ikegawa compares his experience with standard obstetrical practices in Japan and his experience after introducing the Prenatal Memory method in his clinic. He also provides thoughts on Prenatal Memory Education, which evolved from prenatal memory research from Japan

Investigation by Questionnaire Regarding Fetal/Infant Memory in the Womb and/or at Birth

Abstract : The purpose of this study is to clarify the possession rate of fetal/infant memory in the womb and/or at birth and to validate its characteristic. A total of 1620 answered questionnaires of the 3601 distributed were returned, giving an overall recovery rate of 45.0%. The possession rates of womb and birth memory were 33.0% and 20.7%, respectively. Parents, too, responded with regard to their own memory from birth, and 1.1% appeared possessing such memory. The possession rate is relevant to the mother’s feeling and speaking to the fetus during pregnancy, and irrelevant to the irregularity in delivery. Most memories were positive.

Change: Birthing and Parenting at Times of Crisis

by Olga Gouni (Author), Jon RG Turner (Author), Troya CN Turner (Editor)

We stand in the midst of a critical change. The whole world, as we have known it is in transition. Day by day, we witness the death of the old way of being, while the new is a little hazy to see and embrace. The pandemic, a mirror of the “unseen virus” that finally crystallized into the physical virus, affects humans debilitating systems -not only organic but also socio-economic ones placing a strain on the equilibrium of all the intricately related factors inside and outside all known structures. With the educational and other care systems falling apart or not allowed to function properly, families and especially parents have seen their everyday life go chaotic. The new reality asks them to re-visit their parenting modes, understand the essence of it all and lead themselves and their children, still in gestation or already born and growing up, to a new homeostasis. As in all transition phases, the primal trauma is re-activated. The primal pain from which we disconnected to survive is to surface again. Exhaustion, anger, isolation, social-distancing, FEAR, mainly fear of death, has become the daily menu in an atmosphere of mistrust, insecurity and loss. But this is also the time to heal, regain the lost life energy and re-create what has always been possible. This book, written by 20 experts in the fields of Prenatal Psychology, Medicine and Health is the navigator that leads each one of us, born or unborn, to the space of using critical changes as a tool to heal our prenatal trauma, reconnect with who we are and connect with and support our children as we make our next step.
