Amongst them, the responsibility of the mother is higher. The best period for fulfilling the strenuous task of a child's character development is the time he spends in his mother's womb. The embryo stage is the stage when there is a lot of physical attachment between the mother and the child. This proximity and attachment makes the whole job very easy and successful.
The genetic scientists in the west have now concluded based on their intense research that there is a direct link between the child in the mother's womb and the mother's physical and mental health.
When the child's entire existence and personality is a part of the existence and personality of the mother, she can exert whatever influence she wishes, on her child. When every act of the mother impacts the child, she can use the talent and insight of a potter, on her dough of mud and create the shape and form that she wishes.
Along with the natural growth of the child, when the divine chemicals of right upbringing are added, the mother's womb becomes a precious designer spot where a valuable and priceless jewel is being crafted.
Every pregnant lady should never let off the contents of the third and fourth chapter of the holy scripture Kalpa Sutra, where a detailed account is rendered, of how the care was taken by queen mother Trishala when she was pregnant with Bhagwan Mahavir. The mother who follows the iconic example cited above, and looks after her womb, protects it and imparts moral education to her child, does a great favour, not only to the child who is yet to be born, but probably the whole family, the society at large, her nation and the whole world.
