Relación materno fetal y establecimiento del apego durante la etapa de gestación

Abstract

Daily news often make us wonder what goes through the mind of a mother who comes to treat her children in a negative way. It’s well-known how important is an appropiate rapport between mother and child, from the beginning of life, in order to achieve a cognitive, emotional and social maturation during childhood. But little has been studied about the importance of the formation of this attachment during pregnancy. This paper tries to put a high value on the fact that pregnat women estatblish a strong maternal bond with their fetus. The objective of this research is to analyze how 117 pregnant women, from the town of Huelva, have interacted with their babies-to be for the pregnancy period. For that purpose, the Scale and Adaptation bonding Prenatal (EVAP) has been used. The conclusions reached from our study provide practical guidelines for working with women and families, and help to a better comprenhension of the early relationships in families.
