Do you have something?
No.
Yeah, you definitely, something is happening.
It's Chris.
Can you just put your phone on silent?
It's Unexplainable.
I'm Bird Pinkerton.
And we originally aired this episode a few years ago when we did a series on pregnancy and parenting.
But we recently had a bunch of people on the team become parents.
So I have been thinking about pregnancy a lot.
And especially about the idea that even though pregnancy is one of the most common experiences on Earth, right?
This thing that...
we all participate in in order to be alive, pregnancy is still very mysterious.
It's mysterious in ways that are amazing and awe-inspiring, obviously, but also in ways that can hurt parents or at least confuse them.
And so the story that I was telling my mom is kind of this perfect example of a lot of the things I learned about pregnancy over the course of my reporting.
Like, it has got a wonder element, but it also has an element of just the frustrating reality that we are still very, very far from satisfying answers.
All right, so let's just start with the basics here.
This whole idea of my giving you my cells, right, it's actually a subset of something called chimerism, which you know what a chimera is, right?
Yes, I do.
You want to describe that for me?
