S2E94 THE EFFECTS OF MATERNAL STRESS ON THE FETUS: LACK OF SUPPORT FOR BIRTHMOTHERS IS A KEY FACTOR (S2E94)

Mind Your Own Karma - The Adoption Chronicles

23-12-2023 • 16 mins

Join me in this powerful episode as I delve into the often- overlooked, profound impact of stress on a fetus during the birthmother's journey in adoption.


This episode reflects the topic of my latest blog. With a lack of support for birth mothers, and at a critical time in her life when stress is at a high point, what kinds of chemicals are making their way through her body and into the bloodstream that she shares with the fetus? How does this affect the child? I talk about this on a scientific level, so that you can make your own inferences about your own life and experiences.


Let’s talk about the raw emotions, challenges, and the lack of support faced by first mothers that society rarely talks about.


I want to discuss the societal stigma and isolation that often compound the challenges, leaving first mothers grappling with their emotions in silence. Birth mothers deserve to be heard.
