1. A method for treating a developmental condition or disorder, comprising:
positioning an electrode in contact with an outer skin surface of a pregnant woman to treat the developmental condition or disorder in a fetus within the pregnant woman;
generating an electrical impulse with an energy source
transmitting the electrical impulse through the electrode and the outer skin surface to a nerve within the pregnant woman, wherein the electrical impulse is sufficient to modify the developmental condition or disorder in the fetus, wherein the electrical impulse comprises a frequency of about 1 kHz to about 20 kHz.
