After giving birth, it takes a woman six months for her internal wounds to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, 2 years for hormonal balance, and up to 5 years to rediscover her identity. Relationships often struggle during this period due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new moms; they're facing more challenges than it may seem.
Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Women’s Day 💐
