[Communication between mother and embryo or foetus].
Molecular interactions and cellular exchanges between mother and foetus or embryo in pregnancy generate an intimate symbiosis of two different lives. Interpersonal communication is an established requirement in the life of each man to reach personal plenitude. Initially on a biological basis, each person is open to others and his surroundings. While the body of the child is developing in the womb of the mother, the mother prepares the "last finish", which will allow him to assimilate and adapt to his peculiar world. In parallel, the brain of the mother, stimulated by hormones and pregnancy factors, becomes ready for a rich and complex behaviour.
