SUB: CHAPTER 2 (HEREDITY, PRENATAL, & BIRTH) DISCUSSION
Please write a 200+ word post as a reply to
ONE (and only one) of the following
questions, which are both based on Chapter
2 (Heredity, Prenatal, & Birth).
1. What are some of the best ways to support
new mothers AND fathers who experience
post-partnum depression? Be creative and feel
free to suggest some “non-orthodox”
strategies that go beyond just therapy — bring
in your own personal life experiences if you
feel comfortable.
2. How was your prenatal development
(through the germinal, embryonic, and fetal
stages) affected by your mother’s experiences
during pregnancy? Was there anything that
might have happened to her during pregnancy
(such as experiencing severe stress, eating a
restricted diet, having an illness, etc.) that could
have affected your personal development?
How might that have affected you?
