Hello, I have been pondering this question lately... I am only just over 9 weeks pregnant, but the other day I saw my acupuncturist, who also does emotional/spiritual healing (and uses muscle testing to detect which areas need work).

Anyway, he said my baby's energy was nice and strong, but that he needed to treat me for anxiety/insecurity (this is my fourth pregnancy after three losses, so I am pretty nervous); and that he needed to treat the baby's emotional state too!
I was surprised at first, since things are so new I hadn't considered my tiny baby having emotions yet, until I realised that this could be an old soul who has chosen to be my child. My acupuncturist said he was sensing a feeling of disappointment from that soul, different from our idea of that emotion, more in the sense that things were so easy when in a purely spiritual state of being, and it's a bit harder going coming back into a physical form....so he cleared that emotion and then said the soul simply thrived in life. I felt pleased about that.

He said things will need finetuning in both of us as I progress through the pregnancy.

It got me thinking about many concepts along these lines (as I have when I was pregnant before).
When does a soul enter the body? Does it come and go during the pregnancy, going between a physical state and purely spiritual until it is time for the physical birth?
Is it hard for souls to adjust? How do they choose us?

My DH is happy to listen, but he is not really as open minded as I am with some things and has a bit of trouble getting his head around it.

Just really interested to hear other's thoughts.

Thanks
