But I Was in the Delivery Room: The Long Term Impacts of Prenatal Experiences

2:00pm – 3:00pm on Friday 11/6
Many foster/adopt parents don't realize how prenatal experiences impact the children they are parenting in their homes. "I was in the delivery room at birth, why do they still act like they've been traumatized?" is a question I've heard often. This breakout will explore how prenatal experiences such as malnutrition, stress, maternal experiences, substance exposure, maternal mental health, and maternal view of the pregnancy/baby can impact development lifelong. A brief look into epigenetic impacts will also be discussed.
