I would think that aside from the DNA aspect, that a child will benefit
directly if the mother looks at the trauma therapeutically even as she is
pregnant. However, the therapy *must* not re-traumatise her, and must be
done very gently and very slowly. The baby in utero and her are very much
connected in every way - so her healing is the baby's healing, and her
further trauma is the baby's trauma. Re-traumatization should not happen in
skillful hands, but if it does, the cost is high.
I've always wondered whether therapy of any kind is a good idea during
pregnancy.

This is an interesting article and points to the problems we see as we work
in the family systems. The trauma of a pregnant woman may shift the
epigenetics of her child with which she is pregnant. My goal always in doing
constellations is to find the love oriented solution that might offer hope
and change. To find the problem, of course, is only diagnostic in nature.
Having said this, I still would like some input on the current client with
whom I am working and who is 6 plus months pregnant. Since my client had a
recent and severe trauma, there is a possibility
that the child she is pregnant with may be affected. Is there, then, any
solution that we can offer her for this possibility? I will be working with
her to deal with the trauma response she is having and will later look at
family systemic issues, but for now, my prime concern is exactly how to
offer her and the baby with which she is pregnant some way of altering the
severity of what the child may be inheriting. Hmmm? Can we do this? Are we
allowed? Is this any different than treating an illness when it is at an
extremely early stage of development? What are some specifics that may alter
the outcome so this baby is not born with difficulties from this trauma? If
we can work with trauma years after it occurs, how do we work trauma in a
pregnancy in the immediate aftermath of the trauma?

We see this inheritance regularly in Constellations - it's grounding to
