This blessing....it changes you.
And not just physically.
Research shows that "during pregnancy, women undergo significant brain remodeling that persists for at least two years after birth".
This remodeling is said to help women transition into motherhood.
The surge of hormones during his time is said to prune grey matter in the brain while making room for a more keen sense of "theory of mind" (something I was fascinated with when studying for my Masters in Special Edu).
Theory of mind allows you to think about what is going on in someone else’s mind.
So....in this case, we become fricken mind readers in order for us to better predict what our baby will need after they are born.
DANG!
Furthering my point that a woman's body and mind are pretty darn incredible.
The End.
Congratulation to my friends, Colin O'Keefe & Kathy Phan on the arrival of their baby boy just one day after this session.
