I still remember the terrifying moment during my daughter’s toddler days when I had come out of the house instinctively to check on her only to have my heart skip several beats! I found her dangerously close to falling from a wall! I profusely thanked my motherly intuition for that savior moment! The undeniable #SahiWaliFeeling- or not - that every mom has for their child.
We’ve known for a long time that motherhood changes us—duh, right?—but scientists are just starting to characterize the precise nature of those bodily and psychological changes. Scientists have known for a couple of decades that women’s brains shrink during pregnancy. The running hypothesis is that ‘brain shrinking’ might actually be a sign of the brain honing its circuits for mothering.
We might often say and mean it in a funny vein but the ‘mommy brain’ is a result of pregnancy. Women’s brains are permanently altered after childbirth. While science has confirmed the permanent changes in women’s brains, there’s an ongoing conversation on the ‘motherhood instinct.’ Experts agree that moms can be more sensitive or susceptible to particular cues, and this kicks off almost immediately after childbirth. Thanks to Huggies #SahiWaliFeeling campaign that is instilling confidence in a lot of moms to trust their instincts. Stop judging yourself. Go with the flow.
