“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.

Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.

Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.

The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.

How cool is that?

This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.

It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive.

Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?

Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”

If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.

I find this to be so very beautiful.

Reposted from One of the most effective ways to increase your chances of having a straightforward healthy birth is to choose intermittent monitoring in labor.

Continuous monitoring may be the default care option in your hospital - even if you are healthy and well. This is definitely something to discuss with your provider especially for US hospitals.

A 99% error rate is significant.

If you are being induced or have an epidural even though the error rate is so high, staff are balancing the effects of the medication as it’s no longer a spontaneous labor.

We know women were the first healers, and they did midwife work. Midwives saves lives. We need every women/birthing person cared for by midwives. The word midwife should be said as often as the word toilet paper. And everybody knows what toilet paper is for and everybody needs to know what a midwife is for. “ Make the word midwife a house hold word, they are our first line of defense from infant and maternal mortality. www.smcdoulas.com

All birthing people will lose blood during the birth process. Learning to estimate blood loss with waterbirth can be tricky.
