摘要

母胎依恋(MFA)是孕妇与胎儿之间不断发展的心理纽带,反映了母亲早期的情感投入和对母亲角色的期望。母亲对胎儿运动的意识和反应是MFA的关键组成部分,这表明胎儿活动可能是母亲对婴儿表征发展的有意义的线索。先前的研究表明,参与胎儿运动计数显著提高了MFA得分,与那些感知胎儿运动较少的母亲相比,感知胎儿运动较多的母亲的MFA得分更高。然而,尚不清楚这种关联是否仅反映知觉,或者客观胎儿运动与MFA之间是否存在关联。因此,我们客观地测量了51名妊娠晚期(平均孕周36.7周,SD = 2.2)的孕妇(平均年龄28.9岁,SD = 6.0)的胎动和MFA。使用Toitu MT-516胎儿心电图仪客观测量胎儿运动,使用产前依恋量表(Prenatal Attachment Inventory-Revised)评估MFA。胎动越大,MFA评分越高,与母亲情绪、胎次、胎儿性别和胎龄无关。综上所述,这些发现强调了胎儿运动在怀孕心理中的相关性,表明母体感知之外的胎儿运动可能作为一种交流信号来增强MFA。由于母胎依恋与产后结合和照顾有关,了解这些产前关联可以深入了解早期心理和相关过程如何影响围产期的产后发育。

Associations between fetal movement and maternal-fetal attachment in late pregnancy.

Maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) represents the evolving psychological bond between a pregnant person and their fetus, reflecting early emotional investment and expectations of the maternal role. Maternal awareness and response to fetal movement are key components of MFA, suggesting that fetal activity may serve as a meaningful cue in the development of maternal representations of the baby. Previous work shows that engaging in fetal movement counting significantly enhances MFA scores, and mothers who perceive greater fetal movements have higher MFA scores compared to those who perceive fewer movements. However, it remains unclear if this association reflects perception alone, or whether associations between objective fetal movement and MFA exist. Therefore, we objectively measured fetal movement alongside MFA in 51 pregnant women (mean age 28.9 years, SD = 6.0) in their third trimester (mean gestational weeks 36.7, SD = 2.2). Fetal movement was objectively measured with a Toitu MT-516 fetal actocardiograph and MFA was assessed using the Prenatal Attachment Inventory-Revised. Greater fetal movement was associated with higher MFA scores, independent of maternal mood, parity, knowledge of fetal sex, and gestational age. Taken together, these findings underscore the relevance of fetal movement within the psychology of pregnancy, suggesting that fetal movement outside of maternal perception may function as a communicative signal to enhance MFA. As maternal-fetal attachment is linked to postpartum bonding and caregiving, understanding these prenatal associations provides insight into how early psychological and relational processes shape postnatal development across the perinatal period.

期刊介绍: Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival. The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas: Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
