Invest in Prenatal Life: A High-Yield Stock

  • Chapter

Abstract

In the last 20 years, various associations have been formed, inside and outside academic and health circles, to provide information on prenatal life and the importance of this special period for our physical and emotional life and relationships. Founded in 1992, Associazione Nazionale Educazione Prenatale (ANEP) is the Italian chapter of the Organisation Mondiale des Associations pour l’Education Prénatale (OMAEP), founded in France in 1982, which now contains 18 national associations. Another association, Associazione Nazionale Psicologia Educazione Prenatale (ANPEP), was founded in 1999. An understanding of prenatal life needs to become part of the cultural heritage, especially for couples planning to have a family or expecting a baby and for school children. Thus the fascination of the first 9 months of life will leave a mark in the DNA of the heart, as well as in the personal cultural heritage that school inculcates in us all, and respect for life and its wonders will have a stronger foundation. Knowledge and respect for life, especially the bud of life, when it is so small as to seem insignificant and so defenceless as to seem in our power, can enable us to know our origins, which are the same for all of us—the basic equality—and need to be embraced in common by all of us, reinforcing ancient words of peace. Knowledge of prenatal life is therefore precious.
