Abstract
A system analysis of the results of modern scientific research has shown the most complex organization of the parturition, during which the unfolding and activation of the genetic birth program initially embedded in the mother and child occurs. 2–3 weeks before birth, desympatization and formation of an acupuncture network begin in the uterus. Along these acupuncture channels the wave flows of biologically active substances with both contractile and inhibitory properties move. These substances are delivered to the uterus by the bloodstream and blood cells. Some of them also have psychotropic properties, thereby enhancing the effect on the brain and causing a state of altered consciousness in the woman and her child. As labor approaches, the prenate revealed activation of the locus on chromosome 2, which allowed the researchers to assert that the prenate is initiator of the birth beginning. The totality of the data presented in the article served as a prerequisite for the formulation of a scientifically substantiated Theory of the parturition, according to which childbirth is a genetic-psychosomatic phenomenon, free of pain.
