“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 afterward 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.
Douglas Brent was an American Navy petty officer who was taken captive during the Vietnam War, he was considered dumb by his captors and they gave him the nickname "The Stupid". He acted like an imbecile, refusing to speak, instead he continuously hummed a song.
Throughout his imprisonment, he remained in a similar state, to the extent that the Vietnamese captors believed he had some form of cognitive impairment.
Upon his return to the United States after his release, Bent recited the names of about 256 fellow POWs who were being searched for by the US military.
Remarkably, Bent had memorized the names by associating them with the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," which he had used previously to hum during his captivity.
It's so crazy the leader (on paper) of the most powerful and populous Western nation is 80 years old and can't get a full sentence out without mistakes.
And he's going to run again?
Utterly bananas.
A pregnant woman in Fayetteville, NC was shot seven times by a gang trying to steal her car. She lost the child. Why isn't this a bigger news story? If the races were reversed, it would be.
In a jail call, the suspect accused of paralyzing a Vietnamese mother in Houston during a violent robbery complains that he could be sentenced to years in prison. Joseph Harrell says the victim made a lot of money on GoFundMe & should move on. https://t.co/1K8oDODpJu
If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower recently it may be due to a new setting Apple added in iOS 16.1 — Clean Energy Charging
With it turned on, iOS will only recharge the iPhone's battery when the electrical grid uses cleaner energy sources like solar or wind
You can disable it under Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging
