Currently, the Korean society is faced with an increasing number of sterile couples and of children having ADHD (attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder).
Bullying, autism, suicide, and such problems are a concern for a
teaching doctor in a Seoul hospital, who feels that proper prenatal
care would help solve these problems.
In the past, everyone considered prenatal care an ideal goal, but if you
didn't bother with it, no one paid too much attention. However, today
the baby is understood to be influenced by both the physical and the
psychic environment into which the baby is born.
In addition to the influence of genes given to the baby
from the parents, the personality of the baby is also likely to be influenced by the
thinking and activities of the mother.
This is all medically verifiable. Children who are bullies and
violent show abnormal brain activities. Consequently it is now standard
practice for the medical profession to recommend that the baby in the
womb get as much care as possible, with the intention of providing the
best environment in which to form the baby's personality. A baby born
healthy, both in body and mind, and raised well, is a fundamental and
virtuous
responsibility of the parents. It is an act of love, and should be a
concern not only for parents, says the the
professor, but should be a concern to all of us.
He mentions that his dissertation on the effect of
classical music on the fetus was the starting point that changed his
thinking on how he now sees the issue of prenatal care. From that time
on, he devoted himself to the study of prenatal and natural remedies,
beginning a prenatal school in
his hospital and giving lectures to the interns on the importance
of prenatal care, using natural measures as much as possible.
When we have the correct understanding of life, he says, then the
importance of caring for the baby during the prenatal period, as well
as the importance of attending to the proper raising of children, will
become self-evident. This understanding will be especially
true for mothers; by understanding what is happening, how their thinking
and activities are affecting the baby in the womb, the mothers will no
longer be able to see the prenatal period as before.The sex act also will be seen
differently for there is the possibility it will continue for 100 years.
The professor will publish a book on prenatal care next month.
And he hopes that there will soon be natural birth centers in all the general
hospitals of the country, and that the leaders of our society will
take an active interest in pursuing this issue by encouraging more acceptance of prenatal care by all expectant mothers.
