Abstract

The subject of the present study is mature motherhood in the aspect of shaping an emotional bond with the child in the prenatal period. Emotional bond plays a significant role in human life. It affects the development of the individual, especially on the emotional, social and personality levels. It is a biologically conditioned system and is an important element of human existence. It is already formed at the prenatal stage and determines the behavior towards the child. Nowadays, women decide to become mothers much later than they did just a few years ago. There are various reasons for this. The most important is the desire to achieve life stability in all areas of human functioning. Initially, women want to achieve professional stability, then partnering. The experience of motherhood is an element complementing the existence of a woman. It doesn't occupy a key role in her life but is also important. The author in this study will present empirical data showing the process of shaping the emotional bond with the child during pregnancy in women experiencing late motherhood. In the theoretical part, I will define key concepts, characterize the causes of late motherhood and the process of emotional bond formation in the prenatal period.
