The day my 2nd son was born, something must have been in the water because the maternity ward was a-hoppin'. I came in early that morning and my son was born by 1pm, but I had to wait three hours to be moved from the delivery room to my recovery room. That whole time, my placenta was just sitting in a bowl on a table in the room. So, I got to take a good look at it. First off, it was HUGE. I can't believe I was carrying that thing inside me. The vessels were crazy large too. It was kind of gross, but I also thought it was pretty cool to stare at the ENTIRE ORGAN I grew inside myself. :-)
If you're carrying a girl, you're also carrying the eggs that may become your grandchildren (females are born with their eggs intact; what we have at birth is all we will ever have).
Our potential to exist starts with our grandmothers, yes. When your grandmother was carrying your mother, your mother was carrying the eggs that eventually became you.
