Pre-born Babies Give New Life To The Mother

The pre-born babies provide living cells that cross the placenta and live for decades in the mom’s blood (1). These fetal cells remain in the mother blood stream and mobilize themselves where ever injury is occurring in the body. The fetal cells are not attacked by the mother, but rather work as stem cells that transform themselves into new tissue that gives new life to the mother.

That was the case for a mother of five who had hepatitis C (2). During a biopsy the cells were analyzed and it was found that cells from her son had come to the lesion and converted themselves into hepatic cells. The woman became healthy again with the help of her offspring!

Most amazing is how these cells can repair a maternal heart. Fetal cells convert themselves into contractile cells and vessel cells that help recover the tissue in case of a heart attack (3). These cells also have repaired Parkinson Disease by converting themselves into neuronal tissue (4).

So next time you see your children and think how tough it is; console yourselves by knowing that they are giving back in the long run.

Amazingly a woman who has an abortion receives many more fetal cells than the mother who carries the baby to term (5). It is as if the child experiencing the trauma of abortion — losing his or her life — gives her or his mother and extra large dose of his/her life that could improve her health*.

** Microchimerism is the presence of small numbers of cells that originated in a genetically different individual.

Cells from fetus cross placenta into maternal circulation to injury  zones of the maternal heart. Cells of fetal origin give rise to diverse cardiac cells, including contractile cells and vessel cells. From reference 3.

    Because of this article….I like to meditate on the fact that Mary is Jesus mom. 0:-)
