Near-birth experience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A near-birth experience most commonly refers to a parental encounter which involves some form of intelligent communication with an offspring not yet born, either during the pregnancy or before conception. This experience may reveal the forthcoming child's gender, name, character or similar traits.[1]
Less commonly, the term near-birth experience can refer to one's own recollection of an event which occurred immediately after one's own birth, or during the pregnancy, or even also before conception. Under this usage, the term "near-birth experience" is analogous to the term "near-death experience."[2]
