They say a mother’s love knows no bounds—and one woman argues it may extend even further than we realize.
Ever pondered why you feel a unique connection to your maternal grandmother? A fascinating theory suggests it’s because she once carried you as an egg inside her.
The creator of a viral video shared this thought: “You were once an egg in your grandmother’s womb. A female fetus is born with all the eggs she’ll ever have. Your grandmother had your egg when she was pregnant with your mother. The three of you are linked through generations.”
A caption from @momhustlempire struck a chord with many who resonated with this idea. She expressed how she’s always felt a deep bond with her grandmother and now sees the same connection forming between her daughter and herself.
As one viewer put it, “It’s like the missing puzzle piece. Even though my maternal grandmother passed before I was born, I’ve always felt this spiritual connection with her. Now it makes perfect sense.”
It’s a Fascinating Connection
Robles acknowledges the intriguing concept that you share the same egg that was present in your grandmother’s womb when she carried your mother.
This egg theory, though poetic, is challenging to scientifically verify. While an egg provides important genetic material, the contribution of sperm is equally crucial in forming the unique individual you are.
Yet, while the biological aspects remain enigmatic, the powerful surge of oxytocin during childbirth and breastfeeding fosters an intense bond between mothers and babies. The “love hormone” plays a pivotal role in forging emotional connections.
Robles explains how mothers culturally tend to form strong attachments with their children, reinforcing the psychological bond through early nurturing and attentiveness.
While the notion may be more lyrical than scientific, it provides comfort to many. One commenter shared, “This revelation brings solace as I lost my mother before having my children. They carried a part of her, and now she lives on in our hearts.”
