Contrasting Characteristics
of Prenatal and
Postnatal Life


PRENATAL LIFE

PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Fluid (Amniotic Fluid)

EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE
Roughly constant temperature

SENSORY STIMULATION
Sensory stimulation other than kinesthetic or vibratory stimuli at a minimum

NUTRITION
Hematotropic, dependent on maternal to fetal bloodstream at the placental surface .

OXYGEN SUPPLY
Oxygen passes from maternal to fetal bloodstream at the placental surface

ELIMINATION OF PRODUCTS OF METABOLISM
Discharged into mother's bloodstream



POSTNATAL LIFE

PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Gaseous (air)

EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE
Temperature fluctuates with atmospheric conditions

SENSORY STIMULATION
All sense modalities stimulated by a variety of stimuli

NUTRITION
Dependent on availability of food and functioningof the digestive tract

OXYGEN SUPPLY
Oxygen passes from lung to newborn's pulmonary blood vessels

ELIMINATION OF PRODUCTS OF METABOLISM
