Fetomaternal Microchimerism: When a mother gets heart attack at the time of pregnancy then the fetus growing in the stomach will releases the stem cells that crosses the placenta and enters into the mother bloodstream. These stem cells help to recover the mother from the heart attack and hear failure.

Wow, that’s so amazing! The baby actually helps the mother heal during a heart attack by sending stem cells.
It shows how strong the connection is between mom and baby, even before birth.

In one of nature’s most astonishing acts of love, a baby can help heal its mother—even before birth. Fetomaternal microchimerism shows us that pregnancy isn’t just one life growing inside another it’s a powerful, two-way connection where the tiniest heart protects the one it beats beneath.

yes you are right.
Yes, this concept is so fascinating and heart-touching too.Fetomaternal microchimerism shows how nature is beautifully protective — even a tiny fetus tries to help its mother during a crisis like heart attack or heart failure. The idea that fetal stem cells can cross the placenta and reach the mother’s damaged heart to promote healing is just incredible.
It’s like the baby is silently saying, “I’m here for you, Amma.”
Such deep biological connection between mother and child shows how powerful life inside the womb really is. Though more research is still going on, this could open doors for new stem cell therapies in future.
