Once you become a parent nothing is ever quite the same again, including the brain. These changes begin before the baby is even born, and are still traceable decades later. Explore the brain through the stages of pregnancy and postpartum with our 3D model. Find out more on whether...

A woman’s body is magnificent, and motherhood is the highest, most sacred calling. I wish society honored mothers/womanhood the way they should. Today, it’s framed as a “burden” on women, an obstacle to more self, status, power, money and stuff. Very sad.

I think the word you're searching for is "mother", not parent.

"Parent"? The word you are looking for is 'mother', you know, the one actually carrying the child and eventually giving birth.

What could it be that caused XX's bodies to so suddenly see this steep rise in ovarian cancer from 2021 onward? What was introduced in 2021 to XX??

This is why women who delay children into their 30s often report a profound shift in priorities later and why the I don’t need a man / career first narrative eventually collides with reality for most

Appropriate title of the video: "Deconstructing motherhood subtly appealing to 'science' as a leverage to break into weak minds and souls and smuggling a perverse anti motherhood narrative"... hey're masters at it... 🤔

I’m sorry but reading your magazine when you are a teenager to reading you all now as an adult is a trip. “Science & technology | Well informed Does being induced lead to a medicalised birth? It might actually prevent it” WE DONT KNOW ANYTHING AND NEVER DID. IT MIGHT ACTUALLY PREVENT IT THIS IS WELL INFORMED SCIENCE THIS IS THE ECONOMIST

No tak, nie ma jak rodzinna odpowiedzialność, ale po co te medyczne sugestie, skoro każdy ma prawo do decyzji? Lepiej skupić się na realnej pomocy rodzicom.

Why do they kill our babies and laugh in our faces? Why do we allow this psychopathy? Pandering to sociopaths and allowing abuse and murder of our most vulnerable is not what healthy cultures do.

after pregnancy, postpartum trauma is a madness! majority women go mad and halucinate and blame husband and in laws. Modern marriages will only succeed if husband stays at husband’s home and wife stays at wife’s home and any kids are shared on an understanding like divorced.

Trying to make motherhood look scary lol Women who have an intimate relationship with their newborns and experience pregnancy have robust mental and physical health stem cells regenerate and the affection of breastfeeding boosts women’s mental health

People believe they are reacting to facts - to what is happening in front of them. But neuroscience shows you are responding to meaning. Your brain is a prediction machine. Research on predictive processing and the default mode network suggests that perception is not passive. The brain constantly uses past experience to predict what is happening now (Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2018). Every experience is filtered through memory, emotion, belief, and your nervous system state before it becomes "reality." Two people can live the same moment and walk away with completely different truths. Not because one is lying. But because each brain is updating reality through a different internal model. When the nervous system feels unsafe, the amygdala amplifies threat signals. Neutral events feel dangerous. When someone carries unresolved emotional memory, silence feels like rejection. When the prefrontal cortex is online and the body is regulated, the same event feels manageable. The event is constant. The interpretation is not. This is why inner work changes everything. You do not need to control the external world to change your life. You need to understand the lens your brain is using to construct it. As awareness increases, the brain updates its predictions. Interpretation softens. The world feels less hostile. More workable. More neutral. The question is: Are you reacting to facts - or to old neural patterns? -capiomind

Nothing Changes If you feel stuck and unable to make progress, here's the truth I have discovered after decades of studying brain science, and surviving multiple traumas in my own life, including the loss of my son: Nothing changes until you change something. I lost a lot of time waiting to feel better, thinking I could only change after my emotions did. But what I discovered was that you never feel better enough to change your actions, but as soon as you change your actions, you start to feel better. Change doesn't require perfection, it requires interruption. And that type of change, that type of initiative, doesn't calm until you begin to change things that you think about and the ways that you think about the situation you've been in. That's why Romans 12:2 tells us not to be conformed to the pattern of the world, which is a constant focus on our circumstances and feelings, but to be transformed by of our minds. Once you understand that your mind is in charge of your brain and know what you think about can change how your brain works, you can be truly set free the partner with God in going after the life he's calling you to. And if you feel like you can't hold it all together, I have good news: you were never supposed to. Colossians -20 says that in him everything is held together. Nothing changes until you change something. As soon as you're ready to change your mind, you can change your life. Your creator is ready to help you, your brain is designed to heal, grow, and change, and we're counting on you. Save this for the next time you feel stock, and share it with a friend who needs to know that nothing changes until we change something.
