Fair warning: I'm not a scientist, nor a doctor, nor any kind of medical authority. Hell, I was an English major. I also apologize if this has been posted before and I just didn't see it.
But someone posted this blog on the MPL board and I've never read anything like it: https://lauragraceweldon.com/2012/06/12/mother-child-are-linked-at-the-cellular-level/
If this research is accurate, then as early as GD10, fetal cells migrate to the mother's bloodstream. These fetal cells may help to generate new neurons and even help heal the heart. The cells of a mother's child stay with her, and may even migrate to future children.
Throughout this TTCAL process, I haven't found much comfort in religion. The possibility that my baby is still connected to me on a cellular level, though, that is something that feels very true to me.
((hugs)) to all who need them today.

Re: How our angel babies help heal us? (pg mentioned in general, no one's in particular)
I felt the same way when I saw that on MPL. Hugs right back to you.
TTC since March 2010 ~ Dx Unexplained IF September 2011
2011: IUI + Clomid = CP#1
2012: 3 more IUIs + Clomid = 3 more CPs. One on-our-own pg, also CP
2013: BTB IUI + Lupron/Follistim/Prometrium/PIO = CP #6
IF testing, RPL testing, Autoimmune testing = all normal
So lost.
I listen to a geeky radio podcast called Radiolabs. You can listen on itunes or download the radiolabs app..LOVE them. They did a short cast that called "fetal consequences" that mentioned the same thing. They also talked about how not all fetal cells are always helpful, but they're still doing alot of research about how these cells effect the mother pretty much for the rest of her life. Very interesting.
On a side note:I totally recommend Radiolabs to everybody!!

Freaking LOVE Radiolabs! I always have their podcasts and This American Life on my phone. I haven't heard the "fetal consequences" but my work is going to continue to wait, because you know I'm googling it right now...
Thanks, PK!
