The Womb : Episode 3 - The Umbilical Cord Connection

 The umbilical cord is the living link through which a mother feeds her baby and removes its waste. The cord also becomes the conduit of an ongoing exchange, a silent conversation, in which hormones from the mother
and the baby signal changes in each other’s bodies.
     The umbilical cord consists of three blood vessels—two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein—embedded in slippery connective tissue called Wharton’s jelly. The arteries spiral around the vein, giving the cord the toughness of a cable. At one end of the cord is the baby; at the other is
the placenta.
     The baby’s heart pumps depleted blood out of its body through the umbilical arteries to the placenta, where the arteries divide into a network of tiny capillaries. The mother’s blood in the placenta forms a free-flowing, living five-ounce lake about the size of a glass of red wine. This blood is refreshed completely three or four times each minute to supply the baby’s needs. The replenished blood returns through the umbilical cord like a steady, unhindered river bringing the stuff of life to the fetus.

The Womb : Episode 2 - The Greenest Room on the Planet

The womb is an incredible piece of living engineering that provides an ideal environment for the amazing transformation that occurs during the forty weeks of gestation—a time when a baby’s brain is developing faster than at any time later in life, at one point making one hundred thousand new neural connections an hour.

     While growing and developing in this protected biosphere, your baby is intimately connected to the outside environment, including all the nutrients entering the womb, and the smells and sounds of the outer world, which have a lasting impact on her neurological, physical, mental, and anatomical development. These external influences provide you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give your baby a strong and healthy foundation on which to grow. In fact, at no other time in your child’s life will you have this degree of control over the way her environment influences her development.

     The most direct way you can affect the health of your baby before he is even born is by making smart decisions about what you eat, drink, and absorb (through your lungs and skin), as well as what you introduce into the womb in the way of smells and sounds.

     The swift passage of nutrients, protective proteins, and molecular messages through the umbilical cord from mother to baby offers the ideal opportunity to enrich your unborn baby’s room in the womb and to contribute to the health of the planet your baby will inherit. You can do this each day through your own careful intake of organic foods and healthful beverages. Bring on the green!

The Womb : Episode 1 - The Greenest Room on the Planet

    The first room your baby lives in is the pearshaped organ called the uterus, which we know as the nurturing womb—that safe enclosure in the mother’s body that separates the developing fetus from the outer world. In many ways, if you make the right choices, the womb can be the greenest room on the planet. The womb is a warm and comforting place where we have all been rocked, fed, and snuggled. It supplies with natural efficiency the food, water, oxygen, hormones, vitamins and minerals, and complex brew of neurological developmental messages needed by every baby to flourish in safety and good health.

BABY CARE TIP

     Dear Heloise: A recent letter warned of the swiftness with which a baby being diapered can harm itself by getting hold of the powder, safety pins, etc.
     

     As the mother of four, a grandmother of four and a frequent volunteer baby tender, I have a solution to offer in addition to being watchful.

     Always give the baby a favorite small toy to hold while you are changing him or otherwise caring for him in a personal way. With little hands already busy, baby does not need to reach for something else.

     Another safety tip: Always close each safety pin immediately upon removing it from the diaper and be sure to put it out of baby's reach.
