The remodelling of the brain during pregnancy!

Pregnancy remodels the brain, and (interestingly!) a second pregnancy seems to impact different regions. A first pregnancy affects areas such as the default mode network, involved in empathy and theory of mind, while a second pregnancy appears to shift more toward attention networks and motor systems.

Female biology truly is so very fascinating. (Thirty-five years into this work, and I’ve never lost my curiosity or sense of awe about how it all works.)

A little info on how a reclining birthing position became common- over the more physiological effective and intuitive positions!

It's only in the past 300 to 400 years that women have been largely giving birth on their backs. Here’s how it started: https://bbc.in/4vh6wp0
