Microchimerism exists
Posted on 29th June 2018

Knowing how the fetal cells get into the mother's tissues is one thing. But why so many manage to stick around still raises questions.
"We don't know why the ones that stay, stay," Boddy said. But the fact that they do stay suggests that there could be an adaptive explanation for it. Perhaps "these fetal cells might be beneficial, or at least not so harmful," to the mother, she said.
One hypothesis that answers the question of why the cells stick around is "that they can maybe even benefit the [baby]; that they can help the mother provide resources to the [baby] after birth," she said. The idea is that perhaps the cells could hijack and increase levels of maternal hormones for important post-birth processes including lactation, Boddy said. (She and her team are currently researching these hypotheses.)
Other research, however, has shown that the fetal cells may possibly harm mothers. For example, a few autoimmune or cancer studies have found more fetal cells in diseased tissues than in nondiseased tissues, Boddy said. But scientists aren't sure if these cells are just there as bystanders because there's increased blood flow to the area, or if they're actually harmful, she added. A third possibility is that they're trying to help repair the tissue.
"There's so much to study," Boddy said.
It's clear that there's a special bond between mother and child, and it's powerful — but how powerful? We just don't know.
My advise
1..  Scientists are trying to know various causes between fetus and mother.
2... Eat well
3... Give affection to your fetus
