Pregnancy

[Alex.fi]

Hello all Avalonians!

My wife is pregnant, this will be our first child. My first question: is there any way I can influence(positively) on what type of soul/consciousness will entangle with the baby? Any experiences? :)
Second question: Any other advice on the subject appreciated?!

Hi Alex,

Congratulations! How exciting for you both!

I'm afraid I don't have any advice regarding the soul involvement - that's a really interesting question, and I'd love to hear the responses.

I'm a childbirth educator and have started 2 threads on here which you may/should find interesting and useful.

It's also my belief the child's soul will have chosen you to be its parents.

Yes brother congrats to you & your wife! :)
Sing, Read, Converse with baby bump even something as simple as resting your hand on!

[Arak]

Onnea! I personally think that there is nothing much you can do from spiritual point of view, but by keeping your wife happy and well fed you will give the baby best possible start to life. And I encourage you both to lose all possible fears as recent studies show that fears are also inheritable.

Millions of blessings!

All you do during the pregnancy time is important for physical and spiritual evolution of the child ..
fresh air , walks to nature , meditation , receiving blessings .. visiting sacred places, eating healthy, no alcohol, no smoking, peaceful music and experiences ( no horror movies ), no dramas , or least dramas possible ..

the love you share ..

Whatever you can do for the mum will become important for the baby .


Good luck and blessings


lots of love

Might I suggest a cursory review of the work of Masaru Emoto (water crystals and tofu), and then expound and apply the theories and practices to your gestating child?

Perhaps you might want to learn a type of hands on energy healing, like Reiki. Then, you could place your hands on your wife's belly and send Reiki to your yet to be born child. Once he/she is born, you can continue to give them Reiki as you hold them in your hands, and perhaps, you can pass the skill on to them someday.

Blessings to you and your family, especially it's newest member.

Hey Alex,
Really warm congrats for you and your wife! You are going to live through some of the greatest experiences you can get. I am a father myself, our son is nearly 2 months old at the moment, so I think I can share some practical tips from our own experiences. Please keep in mind that below is just my experience and that I am not a specialist on the matter - just a dad in training :)

During the first 2/3rd time of pregnancy, I think the best thing for us men to do, is to be as supportive as we possibly can. I tried my best to be always there for her, accompany during medical checkups, do stuff for her when she had a bad day, go to a 24h store at 2:30 a.m. because she was hungry and wanted a really specific thing to eat :).

Later on, when you'll see beautiful belly growing, I strongly encourage you to talk to your child. Let him/her hear your voice. It may also help to to put your hand on the belly. My son was sometimes kicking a lot - wife told me many times he gets calmer whenever I've put a hand above him.

As you will be approaching the date of birth, pack a bag -- with all the things your wife will need in the hospital. I wont tell you what to take, because it depends on medical standards in your country - I think with Google you will be able to find a checklist for items specific for your country. We had this bag packed around 7/8th month, because you never know what your kid has planned for you :).

The hospital (if you plan to be there during the birth) -- some people don't want their kids to be fed with artificial milk or vaccinated with certain vaccines. I've even seen mothers complaining they don't want nurses to bath their children. I am not telling you what to do here, just letting you know.

And the last advice - regarding items for your child, especially clothes -- be sure not to over-buy, because, trust me, child will grow so fast that you may find yourself in a situation, that some clothes wont even make it to be used at least once :).

It may be also useful to kind of shield yourself from friends, during the last part of pregnancy, when you are very near the date of birth. Especially these who you are not close with. Why? Well, mostly they want good, but replying over and over and over again to the question "are we there yet?" (and it's variations) can bring unnecessary stress and pressure.

Hope this helps at least a bit :) All the best for you!
Bartek.

Well I don't know if it works or not, but Frank Lloyd Wright's mother put engravings of the great cathedrals in her home while she was pregnant n' then moved them into the nursery after his birth...granted the family was nuts on so many other levels.

So excited for you!

[Elainie]

Congrats on your first baby!
I've had 6 and several of them have appeared to me years before they were conceived/born. They came to me in dreams, repeated dreams. When I conceived my first two (twins) I even had a dream that night of 2 Moses baskets floating down a river. With my 4th, she appeared to me before she was conceived as she was going to be the reincarnation of the woman who had raised me and had died she years earlier. I couldn't attend her funeral so instead I sent a heart shaped wreath of red roses to be placed upon her in her casket. I *communicated* with her throughout the pregnancy addressing her by her name as I knew her in my life and after my daughter was born I gave her that name as a middle name. My midwife was examining the placenta and said to me, oh wow, look, what a perfect heart shaped placenta. That was confirmation number one. The second confirmation came when my daughter was 3, I was visiting my mom and I brought home a picture of the woman holding me as a infant and I placed the picture on my night table. My 3 year old walked into the room and having never seen the picture before picked it up and exclaimed "mommy, that's me when I was a lady and I used to take care of you". The chills that went up my spine after she said that whoa. I get chills typing this. There were more confirmations down the line too from food preferences to friend preferences (this was a woman of color and my daughter always gravitated to friends of color too).
With my 6th baby, I had repeated dreams about him for 3 years prior to his conception. It was always the same- a 9 pound baby boy with very unusual looking cat eyes born in my bathroom in the afternoon of a warm day. Where on earth was this kid coming from I would ask myself. Then I met someone and had to tell him flat out, oh it's you I was meant to conceive this baby with. I even doubted at my ripe old age whether this was all really going to pan out. But it did and my son was born on my 45th birthday weighing 9 pounds in the afternoon on a very hot day in my bathroom (it was 88 degrees in my bathroom when I birthed him). He has vivid blue eyes that look like a Siamese cat (we have no idea where these cat looking eyes came from). My son was conceived on a beautiful October day in the forest and my husband was meditating on a certain race of ET's at the time lol.
So with all that said, I am absolutely sure that souls choose parents prior to conception.

Re: the OP ...

I'd say no, the soul chooses you. Congrats! I have three and I recall the first one being entirely a very "magical" process. The amount of progress that a soul (as in yours) can make during the first pregnancy and childbirth and early years is nothing short of amazing. Use this time to let the soul that has chosen you, to have the greatest influence on you in this area, the rewards will be greater than "getting" the child that you think you want. Far greater. My 2 cents ;) ... and congrats again!

BTW, I have 3 :)

Hi Alex! Congratulations! I wish you lots of unforgettable moments, and that everything will be perfect for the whole family.
Even if you could influence the 'type' of soul of your future baby, although I have no idea what that 'type' might mean for you, how would you be able to know what are you doing, being here on Earth? :)

Enjoy the moment!
(funny, I just read what DeDukshyn has written before me)

[Alex.fi]

Thank you everyone for all of your cheerful posts and advice :) I think now that the babys soul have chosen us before the conception, might be depending on the life we have led this far. I'm sure this will be a big chance for expanding consciousness, like in a way DeDukshyn mentioned. And really liked the experience of ERK!! I will report back how this goes while we go forward :)

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Hey Karamba,

I can agree with your book selections. I've read the first two that you recommended. I'll have to look up the third. My wife is a birth worker and really in to natural childbirth. We had our latest baby with the midwives at the Farm in Tennessee. It was very special to meet Ida Mae, though she wasn't present herself at the birth.

Hello Alex,

The book that was most helpful to me, as an expecting father was referred by none other than Camelot interviewee Pete Peterson. The book is "Magical Child" by Joseph Chilton Pearce. I will paste that part of the interview and give the link if you want to read it all:

http://projectcamelot.org/lang/en/dr_pete_peterson_part_3_kerry_cassidy_en.html

"PP: It’s a medical fact. There’s a very good book that anyone who has a child that doesn’t read this book, should be jailed. [Kerry laughs] I’m serious. It’s called The Magical Child by Joseph Chilton Pearce, [spells] P-E-A-R-C-E, and he has follow-up books on it. For example, The Magical Child Matures tells you why that no center-city, fatherless child is ever going to amount to anything, ever. They can’t because their brain doesn’t form properly.

KC: Really?

PP: Yep.

KC: A fatherless child?

PP: Well, or motherless.

KC: An orphan.

PP: A child that’s raised outside of a normal family environment, let’s put it that way. That’s much more accurate. It’ll tell you why that can’t happen, why they can’t really become useful to society.

KC: Well, is this the thing you were telling us about the heart? Being close to the heart?

PP: It’s part of it, that’s part of it; that’s just part of it. There are a number of different factors. But one of the things that Pearce writes about in The Magical Child is, for example, that during the first 16 days or so after the amniotic fluid breaks, the child is exposed to the electromagnetic field from the mother’s heart beating, and that field is modulated by what’s in the brain cells in the heart, which are the emotions, and those emotions are transferred to the child.

So, they thought: Well that may be true. They went to Europe, where a lot of women have their children raised by wet nurses who nurse them on their breast, and they find out that the child takes on the emotional content of the wet nurse. Or children who are raised without a father never get the emotional – the male emotions – from the father, as compared to the female emotions.

KC: But you’re saying it happens in the first 16 days, after that…

PP: The greater part of it happens in the first 16 to 18 days.

KC: Incredible.

PP: It turns out, for example, the Russians did brilliant and massive research on this. They found out that if the child is born underwater in a fluid – remember, the child’s already in a fluid, it isn’t going to hurt him to be underwater for a while. The child’s born under water in the fluid about body temperature and moved up, with contact with the mother, to the breast.

Where, if you look at how you would naturally hold your arms and nurture a child, the heart of the mother and the heart of the child are going to be right next to each other. The child starts picking things up. If the child is kept in that position for the first 12 to 14 hours, the child usually develops speech by six months of age and is able to stand on their own at six months of age.

KC: Can you talk about that Russian doctor?

PP: I… unfortunately… I could if I remembered his name. I can’t remember his name. He was brought to the United States... I can tell you that his techniques were used by Madonna in having her children.

BR: We were talking about generating an IQ as high as 275 in the children.

PP: Right. I can tell you that her children are some of the most brilliant children on the face of the Earth because of that. I know that she worked using those techniques for a year to a year and a half before they were conceived, just to become ready. That could well be privileged information, but it leaked out to me, and I know it to be true.

DW: So you’re saying that the heart has an information field component, which somehow entrains the formation of the nervous system?

PP: No, I’m not saying anything about the information field. I’m saying the heart has an electromagnetic component that is there because the heart beats and it takes a large electrical current to beat the heart.

DW: Okay.

PP: The body is bioelectric. Anything near a magnetic field or an electric field that’s conductive, then, has components that come from the things around it that are electric or magnetic or conductive.

KC: Okay.

PP: So, you can see that stuff in the heart field. The information – not the information field – the information transfers to the – just like programming a ROM chip – transfers to the heart of the child.

As an example, one of the final proofs of this is: There was a man who absolutely hated the odor, the sight and the taste of mustard, and got a heart transplant, and all of a sudden, couldn’t get enough mustard. Just by happenstance, the wife of the donor somehow got word to him that her husband loved mustard. So he had the heart; that came along with it.

A number of people were, in essence, SOBs, or were very tense individuals and they got a heart from a man who was a very calm man, and all of a sudden, their wife and their children didn’t even know who they were. They were a completely different person.

That information was encoded in there, and when the nerves were sewn together and some of them grew back, that information got out of the heart. It may well be that the magnetic field of the heart transmitted, and the brain picked it up.

I don’t know that. But, I know that we instrumented peoples’ hearts and would let them see things that would excite them. The heart rate picks up, adrenalins produced; maybe what they see causes anger or fear. And if you anesthetize that part of the heart, then they don’t have those fears and those angers, and so forth.

So, that emotional information and some things like preferences in flavor, or color are transferred and transmitted in there. So, it’s very important to get the child up into a nurturing position. Children who were nurtured by both mother and father have both male and female components. Children nurtured by one or the other have only the one component of their emotional make-up.

BR: And it’s the first 16 days that does it, is that right?

PP: Well, read the book. The greater part of it occurs in the first 16 to 18 days. And yes, maybe that’s 30%. Maybe another 10% occurs in the next 50 days; maybe another 10% in the next 180 days.

KC: Okay, but very early on as opposed to later...

PP: Very early on. You want to get that in there very early on."

[DeDukshyn]

BTW as an anecdote, I recall meeting two of my children in dreams before they were conceived. Now that those two are 15 and 5 years of age -- there is no doubt it is the same souls that met me in my dreams - before conception. I believe I was already chosen by them ;)

[pugwash84]

One of the beauties of having a child is that it's a surprise and a mystery and getting to know your child as he/she grows up is such a joy and is so exciting to see them develop and grow into little people with big personalities :) Good luck xxxxx

Hello all Avalonians!

My wife is pregnant, this will be our first child. My first question: is there any way I can influence(positively) on what type of soul/consciousness will entangle with the baby? Any experiences? :)
Second question: Any other advice on the subject appreciated?!

Congratulations to you and your Wife, Alex. My belief is that your child's soul has already picked you. Go with the flow and smother him/her with love and support. Blessings...

Congratulations! I agree with 42. Your child has already picked you and I would add that possibly you already picked your child even before you were born. You made pre-birth agreements. :)

I hope she has an enjoyable pregnancy and best wishes to all of you for the birth.

[happyexpat]

I really, really recommend checking out "Opening the Way" from the Monroe Institute.

I did it with my pregnancy and cannot begin to describe how much we all received out of it. There is a meditation for the father, along with all the meditations for the mother. One of them is connecting with baby's soul, and it's fantastic.

Also, with the labour tracks, I had a very short, mostly pain free labour and birth. I had three contractions during transition, three more where I just let the baby drop on his own, and three that I actually pushed. From the time I put the pushing audio track on, it was less than 14 minutes. :)

Versus 21 hours with our first one and hypnobirthing, this was significantly better. Plus this is much more spiritual.

Everyone in the room was very moved by what an incredibly peaceful birth it was.

Best wishes for pregnancy and birth and beyond.
