During pregnancy, an extraordinary biological process unfolds: fetal cells cross the placenta and enter the mother's body, where they can persist for decades, sometimes for the rest of her life. This phenomenon, known as fetal microchimerism, is more than a scientific curiosity—it may help explain the profound and enduring bond between mother and child, and offers a poignant perspective for mothers who have experienced pregnancy loss. This blog includes: The Science of Fetal Microchimerism; How Fetal Cells May Influence the Mother-Child Bond; The Biological Legacy of Pregnancy Loss; A Deeper Connection—And a Source of Comfort; and The Ongoing Mystery and Promise.
