1)Have you ever heard of fetal microchimerism, sometimes also called fetomaternal microchimerism? It's a long, complicated word, I know. But it's amazing stuff. Fetal microchimerism basically describes the process by which the fetal cells of a child remain in the mother after her pregnancy. Science has recently discovered that when a woman becomes pregnant, there are many cells from the baby that remain in the mother's body, and some of these living cells even remain with her for the rest of her life. Science has also discovered that cells of the mother are also exchanged with her children and remain with her children for life. And in something that is sure to bring tears to the face of every mother, it has been scientifically verified by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington that even if a mother experiences a miscarriage or has an abortion, living cells of those children, too, remain in her body. Isn't that amazing!
