Ultrasound monitoring has shown minutes after a pregnant woman experiences a stressful event that her baby responds with an accelerated heart rate or strong kick.

When the input you receive through your five senses is soothing, your body releases health-promoting chemicals. It's been demonstrated that adrenaline, noradrenaline, oxytocin, serotonin and most other messenger molecules are transported across the placenta.

Each sensation pleasurable or uncomfortable, imaginary or real releases chemicals through your body which have an effect on you and your baby.
