As far as I'm aware, there's no consciousness after death. There definitely is consciousness before birth. Check out the book: "Handbook of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology", a Springer textbook. I'll give you a quote: > The NYU authors discovered that the offspring of women who were in their second month of pregnancy during the height of the Arab-Israeli war in June of 1967 (the “Six-Day War”) displayed a significantly higher incidence of schizophrenia over the following 21–33 years. The study also showed that the pattern was gender specific, affecting females more than males. It’s a very striking confirmation of something that has been suspected for quite some time,” said Malaspina. “The placenta is very sensitive to stress hormones in the mother,” explains Malaspina, “these hormones were probably amplified during the time of the war.” You can be traumatized, and experience lifelong effects from that trauma if unresolved, before you're born! There are also strong links between prenatal trauma and attachment/bonding issues; there's a whole chapter on that in the textbook.
