Did you know that some of a baby’s cells stay in their mother’s body for fifty years or more? This is true even if the pregnancy was brief, for every conception makes its mark! I would think that other mothers who have lost a baby at any stage would, like me, find this to be comforting. During pregnancy, cells from the mother and baby cross the placenta. Our babies have some of our cells in them, and we have some of their cells in us. These fetal cells can become part of our blood, or they can become heart muscle cells, or even turn into brain neurons. Sometimes these cells may even heal damaged tissue within our body.
A woman went to a hospital with symptoms of hepatitis. She
had had five pregnancies: one live birth, two miscarriages, and two abortions. After
a biopsy on her liver, her medical team discovered hundreds of fetal cells. These
cells had migrated to the diseased part of her liver and changed into healthy
tissue, thereby repairing her liver! Further testing revealed that the cells were
from a baby that had been aborted twenty years earlier.
The woman desired no treatment. She wanted to “get on with her life.” She left the hospital with hepatitis… and returned months later. There was no more damage to her liver, and she was completely healthy.
Fetal cells may not always promote healing for mom. Further
research has shown that in some cases fetal cells seem to have no impact at
all, and in some cases, they seem to have a negative influence. To me, it’s OK. Most likely there are cells from all of my
children in my body, bringing health and extending my life, or possibly
bringing on some negative thing such as arthritis. It’s all a part of beautiful
motherhood.
