Emotional preparation for birth is not a therapy itself. It is an approach that aims to help parents establish with their baby - several months before he was born - an intimate, affectionate and very tangible. For many women, this is done naturally, but for others, especially for men, it can be difficult to feel truly in relation to the unborn baby. It is mainly to them that addresses the emotional preparation for birth.
Emotional preparation for birth offers parents adopt the attitude and the tools to:
experience a true mutual love relationship with the fetus during pregnancy;
birth of the baby in a conscious and loving support;
guide the child towards autonomy in the first year of his life.
Stakeholders emotional preparation for birth are trained to give future basic information parents found in prenatal classes. However, they insist more on the aspect of the emotional relationship with the unborn. This can be done in private lessons, tailored to the needs of parents on a schedule that suits them, or group classes, offering the opportunity to exchange with other couples who live the same concerns. Giving great importance to the affective experience, the approach aims wellbeing in the short and long term 3 individuals involved, the baby (from its intrauterine life), the mother and father.
The approach is largely inspired haptonomy, a "science of human interactions and emotional relations," developed by Dutchman Frans Veldman early 1980. In the early 2000, the Belgian psychologist and psychotherapist analytical Brigitte Dohmen, who had been trained by Frans Veldman, has enhanced the approach. She chose to add to the central concept of presence and affective called "confirming" of haptonomy inspired practices of prenatal singing, developmental psychology, osteopathy and labor perineum, creating emotional preparation at birth.
Hello baby, we're here ...
Guided by the speaker, the two parents learn to create emotional contact with the unborn child through the quality of presence, touch and voice. The technique includes the "relational games" through which parents felt their toddler it is already a real person for them and that is expected with love and respect. From the third month of pregnancy, it seems that the fetus can react to touches. He would be able, for example, to move according to the movements of the hands of the father or the mother's belly resting on it. The practitioners of the approach say that the baby could so soon before his birth, feel a sense of inner security.
This promotes attachment and early investment of 2 parents. It allows the father to strengthen its role by not having to wait for the birth of the child to establish a personal relationship with it - as the mother can already do it naturally.
Emotional birth preparation
also includes a support component at the time of delivery. The doula acts as a comfort and support, including from the father. It does not take its place, but advises him what to do and encouraged to get involved as much as possible with his girlfriend. It can, for example, massaging the back of the mother while her spouse looks into her eyes with an invitation to breathe deeply. Thanks to its experience and the close ties it has created with parents, the doula can also help them make decisions when the birthing process has an unexpected situation. (Note that this kind of work is one of emotional support only and that such training does not give the skills to intervene technically at time of delivery.)
The support may also continue for several months after delivery to help parents decode the messages of their baby. This would allow them to better perceive and understand their needs and respond appropriately. This dynamic would give more assurance to parents and better security status to the child.
Although touch is a natural thing and even if the future parents are already filled with love for their baby, it seems that the art of touch is not natural, at least not in all. Men, in particular, would need to be encouraged in the practice of emotional touch, a touch which has neither the technical coldness of touch, or the ambiguity of sensual touch.
Pregnancy and birth are seen as steps in a love story that lives 3.
