Also, we give so much to our LOs; it's amazing that nature has provided a way for them to give back to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-441074 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:52:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 441074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I know. I just think that my little 2 year old is helping to protect me from cancer and alzheimer's! How awesome.</p> <p>@littlebug: It is a bummer and I know some people experience terrible flares after they deliver their babies. But apparently, studies now show that breast feeding is quite protective against flares :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-441017 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:31:04 +0000 Shutterbug 441017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I love the idea of this! I heard about it on Radiolab (which is the best podcast ever, btw): <a href="http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2012/apr/30/fetal-consequences/" rel="nofollow">http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2012/apr/30/fetal-consequences/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-440941 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:06:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 440941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so neat! I like knowing that a part of her is really still with me. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-440936 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:04:13 +0000 littlebug 440936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very cool. Kind of reminds me of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, but sort of in reverse.</p> <p>ETA: Also, really interesting about the possible link with MS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-440887 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:44:54 +0000 Alivoo01 440887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-440518 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 23:32:48 +0000 BoogieBea 440518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read about this the other day. Very cool indeed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-kind-of-cool-babys-cells-live-on-in-mom#post-440500 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:54:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 440500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a really interesting article about microchimerism post-pregnancy. This may actually be protective to women in most cases (except with autoimmune disease). Fun to think that your baby's cells live on in you-- I guess you really are forever changed after pregnancy :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=scientists-discover-childrens-cells-living-in-mothers-brain&#038;page=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=scientists-discover-childrens-cells-living-in-mothers-brain&#038;page=2</a> </p>
