Promoting Healthy Prenatal Development

During a healthy pregnancy, the womb provides a protective environment for the fertilized egg (or zygote) to develop into an embryo, and then into a fetus.

This maturation process supports the unfolding of the genetic code that is specific to each individual. However, a child's prenatal environment also has an impact on development. In fact, during this stage, certain adverse conditions may have a profound effect on the developing human being.

As you review pages 96-107 of the course text, think about the conditions that influence prenatal development. Consider the potentially significant impact these conditions may have on a child's development in utero and beyond.

Select two of the conditions discussed in your course text that are of strong interest to you. (If you choose a protective factor, make the second an at-risk condition.) Think about how each might be addressed through advocacy and/or intervention. With this in mind:

Post the following:

A brief description of the two conditions you chose and why you chose them

The potential impact of each condition on a child's development

Your views on the roles and/or responsibility of individuals and/or society to advocate for protective factors or to take action to prevent unhealthy development associated with at-risk conditions.
