Riassunto
La relazione tra la donna gravida e il proprio feto è una delle più profonde ed enigmatiche relazioni umane. Numerose speculazioni sono state fatte circa la sua natura, tuttavia i recenti progressi scientifici e tecnologici hanno aperto nuovi scenari consentendo di valutare la vita intrauterina e di meglio caratterizzare il rapporto tra: emozioni materne, benessere fetale, sviluppo neonatale, stato di salute del bambino e dell’adulto. Le conoscenze emergenti dimostrano l’intricata natura di questa relazione, che non va intesa come un fenomeno unidirezionale quanto piuttosto bidirezionale
