Prenatal care has an ancient history, knowledge that has hardly been appreciated or recognized in our culture. In the common practice of prenatal care, the socioeconomic and cultural factors that govern each family are affected.
We must take due care of women who do not have family support. Why can't we ignore a pregnant woman? Remember how we see a pregnant woman in our culture. Mothers considered themselves two people, you need to constantly educate others.
We Iranians are talking about VIAR or craving for a certain type of food. There are many stories about the placement of food that a pregnant woman craves. The absence of this provision is considered a sin. We believe that some fruits and nuts have a direct impact on beauty, intelligence, brain, length, sex, and hair quality. Do we not say that an apple makes a child cute or a grape helps a new mother to have breast milk?
We have this custom at home, when a pregnant woman walks down the street, she can many times offer food with a certain type of spice or taste. Why do we do this? I think not everyone in those old days like today could afford good food. Pregnant women were known to need additional nutrition. Elders generally believe that a pregnant woman should be around good, loving and kind people. A baby in the womb learns to raise these positive strokes from people around the mother.
Of course, some superstitious people believe that this affects our antenatal care. Many times our culturally colored relationships create problems and barriers for pregnant women.
Today, in Western cultures, there are large-scale studies that confirm much of what we know only with old jokes. Now the point is not to boast our ego, we have enough of it; The fact is that we must remember the logic of what our ancestors passed on to us. It is well known that psychological care for a pregnant woman is associated with a multitude of social resources. It is believed that a pregnant woman can not be distracted, because the child will be affected.
Another old practice in our Iranian communities is not yet recognized, culturally necessary home help for a new mother for up to forty days. Who does it at home? Usually involved parents of the new mother. It is believed that this time is crucial in order for the new mother to remain on her own feet in order to take care of the child on her own.
Forty days is a time to heal from within. It is believed that this period of time is crucial for the development of the child. Postnatal care for the mother is another traditionally implicit area. If there are no parents, there is always someone who comes forward and offers help to the mother and child.
I think that many embassies in Iran have daily interaction with the older Iranian generation who apply for a visa to go and visit a pregnant daughter who lives somewhere in Iran. Being there for a pregnant daughter is absolutely important for many Iranian families. It is believed that mothers are on the edge of the so-called paradise. To challenge this notice, we can ask if others are bribing the promises of heaven for the hard work they do. Prenatal and postpartum care in our Iranian culture covers all aspects of retention, care, protection, connection and attachment to the baby.
The point is not to say that everything we do is the best way, however, since there is an existing practice of prenatal and postnatal care, why not highlight this perception through the lens of science? Perhaps this is something for future research. I hope I understood: I am not saying that we are Iranians definitely and should take care of our pregnant women a hundred. The number of abusive husbands abused by pregnant women is too high. Cruelty against Iranian women in history, pregnant or not, is too complicated.
The number of pregnant women who were hanged, raped or executed in the prisons of our native country is also too much. With all due respect to all those pregnant women who have died with their unborn children, this article attempts to emphasize the importance of caring for our pregnant women.
I think my idea is not to generalize at all. Why not accept the positive and leave the rest?
