Somatotropic Therapy, by William R. Emerson (the article Shaina briefly paraphrased in our conversation).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L03vB4jAKE a link to Dr. David Chamberlain regarding fetal experiences, author of “The Mind of your Newborn Baby” (1998) (regarding the perinatal development Shaina discusses).

Correction to Podcast: Shaina mistakenly mixed up two separate studies regarding touch and fetal development. The study that discerned fetal touch was Montagu (1978). He showed that a single hair stroke on the fetus, showed that around 8 weeks gestational age, “the first sensitivity to touch manifests in a set of protective movements to avoid a mere hair stroke on the cheek”.
