Gary Brecka explains how pregnancy rewires mothers' perception. He couldn't tell his baby's cries apart until his partner translated them, but she could instantly. Nine months of gestation creates a cellular bond that triggers instinctive, confident caregiving, turning women into something like a lioness.
Women after pregnancy, they have this heightened sense of sensitivity to frequency. What I observed in my former spouse, in all 3 of our kids, when my daughter would cry, it all sounded the same to me. I'm like, she's just in there wailing. And she's like, no, she's hungry, or she's gassy, or she wants to be picked up. And I'm like, how do you know? And I think it's a part of that miracle of birth, at least for having observed it. This entire woman emerges from them that they've never met before, and it just sort of takes over and has this confident sense of, I know what to do.
If you think about it, like, you You are literally on a cellular level bonded to that baby for 9 months, and it's just unbelievable when you think of it like that. You're so in tune with them when they come out, no matter like what your power dynamic in your relationship. When you bring that baby home, you are that lioness.
