Learning Fear Early.

I have a question about childbirth:

A foetus grows for nine months through a process of increasing awareness, and does so completely in the dark. And then it’s suddenly catapulted into the bright light of the delivery room. Doesn’t that scare the poor kid witless, and doesn’t the shock have a lifelong effect on its emotional development?

Has anybody ever studied this?
