Premature aging in babies due to stress during pregnancy

Genomic Instability Group of the National Cancer Research Center in Spain found that the stress you are exposed to the baby during pregnancy could accelerate its future aging.

The entity is directed by Oscar Fernandez-Capetillo, who was the sixth wing Banco Sabadell Award for Biomedical Research, aimed at young scientists.

The Basque research center 36-year career in explaining the role of DNA damage in cancer and aging, on the basis of this damage in the genetic material is probably the most universal feature present among tumors, and probably the ultimate cause of aging of living beings.

Questions to learn skills such as parents

 There are a variety of questions that can lead to a better understanding of what is required to become a parent and what it takes to be successful. If you want to discover more about yourself and identify changes needed to be parents, here I bring you some questions.

Do you spend time with children? Do you enjoy it?: Whether the answer is yes or no, can not predict how you feel with your own children , but to think them a bit you can reveal some of your assumptions and attitudes about life with children.

Strabismus in infants

In younger children, up to 6 or 8 months, inability to coordinate exactly the movements of both eyes while fixing some object, leads to the appearance of a divergent motion may suggest the existence of strabismus. If this difference persists after this period, we must think seriously about the possibility of a squint. It is therefore necessary to go to the optometrist to establish an adequate therapy.

In fact, the risk posed by the strabismus is due to the lack of convergence of the eyeballs prevents correct image fusion, that makes objects look "double" (double vision).

Born with a birth in squatting

When in vertical position, the baby does not compress the aorta and maternal blood so that it gets sent to freely. There is a basic fact in this position: the ease with which the head enters the area. The explanation is simple enough to know the mechanism of balancing the bones of the pelvis according to the position he finds women.

When crouching, there is an opening of up to 28 percent of the diameter of the channel entrance of birth and ends at the same rate when lying. An obstetrician, a prestigious and experienced, I always explained to his colleagues that this was the cause of women gave birth in taxis more easily than in hospital beds.

Spaces in the nursery

While the spatial organization of the child must respond to logical principles, autonomy and authenticity, we must not forget that the physical characteristics that predetermine the housing, and in particular the place for the child, reduce the possibilities of applying these principles.

Despite the frequent constraints imposed by the conformation of the home-and location of windows, doors, heaters, etc. - Is more important to organize properly the overall space to find a brilliant solution to the details, which may be waived if necessary. Rather than placing the different items of furniture, be concerned in the space between them, ie... the surface which can provide the child: this space is the relationship between the objects present and itself.

Dealing with crying

 For the child it is gratifying that their parents are able to stay calm in difficult times,

Sometimes when the baby is upset, instead of trying to stop his crying by all means you need is a person that simply being with him and keep quiet. Someone who has held while crying or sit next to her crib and stay there, quietly, stroking his head. That reassures him a lot.

However, the inconsolable crying of a child and not knowing how to appease parents can make them explode despair and nerves. So instead of tenderness and affection, the child receives a demonstration of anger (for interrupting your sleep, impotence giving not know what to do). Naturally, the infant perceives the change, though I can not understand the meaning of words, he realizes that his voice is different, note that the hands are not so delicate that the attitude is not as affectionate as ever ... But That does not make you lose confidence, recognizing the situation as a slip.

Making the decision to become parents

With all the romantic ideas that float in the environment of children and their parents, almost no one has a realistic idea of what being a parent before they become one. So before making the decision to become parents, you can take a look at the reality tending the baby of a friend or relative for a night.

Being parents is not for everyone, maybe never wanted to have children or have other ambitions that would make child care impossible to perform. And indeed there are many people who have children, but fail to complain because their achievements with those long dreamed.

But equally, many people are surprised by how much they love being parents, even many women who had the idea of not having them, but when they no longer imagine life without their children. Also women in particular, hoping to become mothers grow.

From the wrists to the baby shower, girls and women are always surrounded by images and expectations of the parents, friends, religion, advertising and media. But the decision to become a parent does not depend on your mother, father, friends, church or the expectations with which they grew up. Either way is your life and only you can choose what to do with it.
