This mater- nal task of pregnancy is also known as developing at-
tachment to the fetus. It is the only maternal task that starts in the first
trimester and does not end until the end of the newborn period. This
task is also called "binding in" to the pregnancy. Events that make the
fetus more real, such as seeing the fetus on sonogram, feeling fetal
movenent, or hearing the fetal heart beat, result in the woman feeling
surges of love for the fetus. The woman feels protective of her fetus,
and has increased feelings of vulnerability. The woman starts to take
pleasure thinking about her new role as a mother.
