Bonding in Pregnancy and as Preparation for Birth
Individual Mom or Couple Coaching for Secure Attachment Building During Pregnancy
For many women and couples, pregnancy means pure joy and happiness. You are expecting a wonderful little baby, a miracle of life.
During pregnancy and birth, physiological processes work that produce wonderful hormones and processes so you can fall in love with your baby. From this love, a secure parent-child attachment can grow, which is fundamentally important for your child’s development and has elemental effects on the formation of a healthy personality.
However, if concerns, physical complaints, a lot of stress or other overwhelming events occur during the desire for children, conception or pregnancy, attachment-promoting processes can be interrupted and overshadowed. They may simply not take place.
Unprocessed experiences from one’s own childhood or dealing with the mother/father and parent role can trigger feelings of ambivalence, insecurity or fear. Even if something doesn’t go quite as desired, if joy about the baby doesn’t set in as expected, or stress and burdens temporarily make attention for the unborn impossible, guilt feelings can overshadow the pregnancy.
It can also certainly happen that artificial insemination can be physically very stressful or energy-draining. With not infrequently occurring fears of loss or constant hoping and recurring disappointments, competent support can be very soothing and uplifting.
With targeted supportive conversational work and gentle bodywork, you get a foundation on which a loving connection to your unborn child can develop. This has a strengthening effect on your baby’s thriving, as well as on the relationship between you and your baby. We humans are attachment beings from the beginning.
With BABY BONDING you gain more serenity, security and joy in your pregnancy.
Do something good for yourself and your baby and create the foundation for a happy relationship with your baby. I’m happy to support you:
- with contact and attachment building to the unborn child
- during the process of artificial insemination
- with stress or anxiety states during pregnancy
- in dealing with joy, uncertainty, hope and fear or experiencing loss
- in finding the mother and father role
- in family formation
- in preparation for a caesarean section
- in tuning in to birth
“Attachment is the most important social need of humans and only through the fulfillment of this need do we feel satisfied, calmed and whole.”
