Subject: Assignment 3 / Prenatal Development

Bonding begins before birth in my opinion. Personally speaking, I formed an instant attachment when the doctor confirmed my pregnancy. I was never more excited. Viewing my children each time during an ultrasound was also very special to me. I know all women who become pregnant experience different things, but I personally enjoyed being pregnant. My children and I have very close relationships, and I work hard at keeping that bond strong.
It is also key that mothers and infants bond immediately for optimal development in my opinion. It is said that new babies especially respond to touch, and that touch is key to healthy emotions. Personally speaking, I am a mom of three and my second pregnancy was considered high risk. I recall after the birth my son, he was taken immediately to N.I.C.U., and I was unable to hold him. I was unable to rest and I asked to be taken to see him, as soon as I got there they were ready to place him on a ventilator. I believe that my uneasy feelings were telling me to get there, because after he was placed on the ventilator, I was unable to hold him for two months. Being able to hold him for those few seconds meant the world to me.
