Thanks, Annette Leytem-kimbrough, for sharing. Its moving and informative. I wonder if mom was a little doped, or believed she might not be antiseptic enough to hold the baby. My PTSD guy, John Ingle, let me know that flesh to flesh contact between mother and child is natures way to start the out-in-the-air bonding. Jim, not John continues: The down side of hospital births is the stunning amount of infection possible, and the Medical belief that anything that happens here is not recorded in the newborns muscle memory or in the amygdala. In human studies, the amygdala has been shown to be strongly involved in the formation of emotional memories, especially fear-related memories. Neuroimaging studies in humans have revealed both morphological and functional aspects of PTSD.[73] However, during high stress times the hippocampus, which is associated with the ability to place memories in the correct context of space and time, and with the ability to recall the memory, is suppressed. This suppression is hypothesized to be the cause of the flashbacks that often plague PTSD patients. When someone with PTSD undergoes stimuli similar to the traumatic event, the body perceives the event as occurring again because the memory was never properly recorded in the patients memory.[28] However, other experience suggests the little ones recording is going full-strength even in the womb, and in the delivery process.
