The first 1000 days of a girl or boy's life are of vital importance for their comprehensive development and this stage begins with pregnancy.
At Fundación Proyecto DEI we have a Pregnancy Wellness program that is aligned with the concepts of scientific intervention: healthy pregnancy and childbirth, quality interactions (serve and return) and emotional skills.
It is based on knowledge about the adverse effects of persistent stress during pregnancy and how it affects the structural brain development of the fetus. Furthermore, a metabolic predisposition to high levels of stress underlines the urgency of taking measures to reduce these levels as early as possible during the baby's development, reinforcing the importance of continuing to promote practices that favor a healthy environment.
Acceptance of pregnancy and early bonding with the baby is the foundation of healthy interactions, reducing the likelihood of child neglect and abuse. The emotional well-being of the pregnant woman is a priority during this stage and for her motherhood experience
