Creating a Baby, Creating a Mother

Before you were born, you were already doing incredible things.

At just three weeks, your heart began beating before your mother even knew you existed.

By ten weeks, you could move, stretch, and even hiccup. Your mother's body

created an entirely new organ, the placenta, just to keep you alive.

By six months, you could recognize her voice. Every word she spoke, you remembered.

And while building you, a mother's heart grows bigger so it can love someone

more than herself. Pregnancy isn't just about creating a baby, it's about creating

a mother.
