Pregnancy is not gentle. Babies begin as invaders, growing a brand-new organ inside another human. For months, they sap energy, hack the immune system, and fight for survival. Out of this struggle emerges the most magical thing there is: new life.
This is the brutal and beautiful story of how you and all of us came to be.

"It is likely that parts of you are still in your mother."
My mum died last July, so the thought that I was still with her in some way is very reassuring.

It is a human from conception. You are incorrect.

Only IF the people involved allow a new human to enter into the world… And be good parents. Otherwise, JUST A TUMOR.

Out of the many sperm cells or lives that could have formed inside your mother, you sir lady were the chosen one, mathematically the probabillity is so low, yet you stood still and began to form 💪🏻

Love you guys but you totally left out a huge part that had to do with a VIABLE egg! We saw the sperms journey and hardship but there was no reference to the fact an egg might not be viable!

Reminder that there are species that lay thousands of eggs at a time

Very interesting choice of words. I wonder if similar words are used to describe the body's biological relationship with itself?

This was so interesting. Too often I’ve seen this story end at fertilization. Hearing about the struggles and activities of the fetus after fertilization was so cool.

I dont think it is that hard for sperms to get to the egg, i literally mistaken one time and now i have to take care of a kid😢

Really a bizare video and a must watch for anyone! Just can't wrap my mind around how common and "easy" pregnancy seems to be when in reality the amount of steps and "luck" involved from
ejaculation to the pregnancy succesfully concluding in childbirth is insanee

My baby's placenta nearly killed me. It didn't leave the womb properly after birth causing a haemorrhage and i almost bled to death. I do not feel at all bad for all the placentas that die after doing their job 😂
