Mother Baby Love Exchange

“During pregnancy, some baby cells migrate into the mother’s bloodstream and then return to the child. It’s called “mother-fetal microchimerism”.
For 41 weeks, the cells mix and circulate back and forth, and, after the baby is born, many of these cells remain in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the tissues, bones, brain and skin of the baby to mother, and they often remain there for decades.
Every other child a mother has will leave a similar imprint on her body.
Even if a pregnancy doesn’t end, or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into the bloodstream.
Research has shown that if a mother’s heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the injury site, and transform into different types of cells that specialize in repairing the heart.

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

This is often the reason why some diseases fade away during pregnancy.

It’s amazing how the mother’s body protects the baby at all costs, and the baby protects and rebuilds the mother in return, so they can safely develop and survive.

Let’s think about pregnancy cravings for a moment. What did the mother need, that the child make her wish?

The studies also showed the presence of fetal cells in her mother’s brain 18 years after birth.
How wonderful is this? “

Critical Psychiatry Textbook, Chapter 8: Depression and Mania (Affective Disorders) (Part Fourteen) – Mad In America

I know a gal who started a group of mothers against drugging of moms after her horrific experiences with her 1st child .

I knew another gal, pregnant in late 30s , who was given Topomax , and her son, died just after delivery .

Warnings about wine , yet vaccines and RX are ok?

Whose insane here ?

Peter Gøtzsche covers the textbooks’ discussions of depression pills in pregnancy, as well as psychotherapy and psycho-education.

Hold the mother

Hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Because the baby’s being taken care of—⁣⁣

fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the world—⁣⁣

by not only the mother,⁣⁣

but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

But the mother,⁣⁣

may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,⁣⁣

may be mechanical in her motions as she’s healing,⁣⁣

may feel more like a mess than a mother,⁣⁣

may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,⁣⁣

may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, “she’s not good enough,”⁣⁣

and she’s bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And the mother’s that baby’s whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn’t disappear into that postpartum fog.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So, hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

A mother agrees that her baby matters more.⁣⁣

But she’s hurting, while she’s the person behind the baby,⁣⁣

in the background, making it all happen:⁣⁣

feeding her baby at all hours,⁣⁣

snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,⁣⁣

and being that baby’s everything.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So, it’s the mother who needs your love.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And a mother will remember who held her up.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So instead of “I’m coming to see the baby,”⁣⁣

try saying, “I’m coming to see you 𝘢𝘯𝘥 meet the baby, too.”⁣⁣

⁣

Because the mother needs to be held more.⁣⁣

Fathers Do not forget

“Fathers, do not let your sons forget

Do not let your sons forget

where their essence was just formed,

when their bodies were most vulnerable,

they were protected by the womb of a woman.

If they ever call all women weak,

remind them of the strength of their mother

who pulled her whole body apart

to give theirs a home.”
