The "Old Wive's Tales" as they are still called, are being studied and scientifically authenticated.  What our elders used to call "marking" the baby is now referred to as birth imprints. During pregnancy mother's thoughts are chemically communicated to the baby by wayof neurotransmitters crossing the placenta. The more stronger the thoughts of mother and the more continuous they are, she will stamp an impression on the mind of her child in utero. 

With knowledge and support the mothers of today can change the conditions of our communities.  Her desire must be to influence the character of her child as well as it's balanced mental and emotional state. Not to think in terms of what gender mother gives life to.  In giving birth to God-Conscious youth, take this a step further. Focus thoughts on the child who resides in the laboratory of her womb, she writes her child's future with the thoughts she thinks of producing a new: pioneer, diplomat, visionary, builder, liberator, counselor, teacher, entrepreneur, philanthropist etc.....  She produces from her mind a youth ready to take their place in the upliftment of humanity.
