Welcome to Oaktree. We look forward to meeting you!
The time babies spend in the womb is far from idle. The brain is changing more rapidly during this time than at any other time in development. It is an active time for the fetus to grow and explore - and of course, connect to its mother. New evidence from in-utero fetal brain scans show, for the first time, that this connection directly affects brain development: A mother's physical and mental stress during pregnancy changes neural connectivity in the brain and the nervous system of her unborn child.
