There are many opinions - some people believe that being a mother is hard work - washing, feeding, sleepless nights, etc. In contrast to the first opinion, there are supporters of more life-affirming explanations that consider motherhood a real sacrament, priceless wealth.
No matter how many questions and opinions arise, one irrefutable fact will always be important, summarizing all previous statements: being a mother is real female happiness and one of the most symbolic destinations of a woman. Especially today, when becoming a mother has become even more difficult.
By the way, in Russia, Mother's Day is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of November. This day is important to remember, not to forget.
Motherhood - as we have already found out - is an amazing state, familiar to almost every woman. However, even women themselves do not know some interesting facts about motherhood. So:
5 FUN FACTS ABOUT MOTHERHOOD
artist: Vladimir Volegov 1. The word "mom" was invented by ... the children themselves!
The word "mother" in almost all languages sounds the same or very similar. And Russian, and Spanish, and Chinese children call their mother the same - mother. English-speaking children say "mom" - "mom." Amazing, isn't it? The secret is that the children themselves chose what they would call their mothers. One of the first syllables pronounced by a child is the syllable "ma". That is why in almost all languages of the world this syllable is used in the word meaning "mother".
2. The physical bond between mother and child never ends.
The woman carries the baby under her heart for nine months, and then the baby is born and the obstetrician cuts the umbilical cord. Do you think this is where the physical bond between mother and child ends? Not at all. During pregnancy, the body of mother and child exchanges cells through the placenta. Sometimes these cells remain in the mother's body for a long time, they can be detected even several years after childbirth.
During one of the studies, geneticist Diana Bianchi (Diana Bianchi) from Tufts University (Tufts University) found in the body of one woman the cells of her 27-year-old son! So far, science does not know how the child's cells affect the mother's body. However, some researchers suggest that these cells can both provoke autoimmune diseases and protect against these diseases.
3. Motherhood changes a woman's brain
artist: Vladimir Volegov A study back in 2011 showed that pregnancy can cause changes in a woman's brain. Scans have shown that the brains of women who have recently given birth contain an increased amount of gray matter for up to four months after giving birth. In addition, scientists conducted experiments on rats and found that pregnancy provokes the growth of special cells in the brain of rodents associated with smell.
Some scientists suggest that hormonal changes may cause permanent changes in a woman's brain, similar to how hormones produced during adolescence contribute to the development of a teenager's brain.
4. The mother's portrait changes
The world is changing and mothers are changing too. AT Soviet time mothers became much earlier than in modern society. On top of that, the education of the mother, even taking into account the availability of all the information on the Internet, does not make modern mothers more educated. Our mothers listened to the advice of their mothers and grandmothers, listened to their life experience. Independence in the upbringing of their children and the lack of an authoritative opinion of the older generation are firmly entrenched in the minds of modern mothers today ... Whether this is good or bad is another matter.
The mother's portrait is also changing along with the fact that the percentage of full-fledged families is still undergoing a sharp decline, and the number of single mothers is increasing.
In addition, researchers report that over the past 30-40 years, increased average age in which women become mothers. Today, according to statistics, they began to give birth on average at the age of 30 years and older. At the same time, the annual birth rate remained the same.
artist: Vladimir Volegov 5. In ancient times, mothers asked goddesses for help.
And today, many pregnant women and mothers turn to religion for help. In antiquity it was even more common. In many ancient religions, there were special deities who guarded women during pregnancy and childbirth.
For example, in 2001, during excavations, scientists discovered a stone depicting Hartor, a cow-headed goddess who was considered the patroness of women in childbirth. Ancient Egyptian women sat on this stone during childbirth. The ancient Greeks had many other deities - the patrons of pregnant women and women in childbirth. The pregnant woman and mother of the newborn feels defenseless. It is not surprising that women in this state turn to God for help.
There are many opinions - some people believe that being a mother is hard work - washing, feeding, sleepless nights, etc. In contrast to the first opinion, there are supporters of more life-affirming explanations that consider motherhood a real sacrament, priceless wealth.

Some peoples have been celebrating this day since time immemorial: for example, the ancient Greeks paid tribute to Gaia, who was considered the mother of all gods. The Romans for three days in March honored another mother of the gods - eastern Cybele. For the Celts, such a goddess, personifying the mother, was Bridget. In the UK, Mother's Day has been celebrated for four hundred years - since the 17th century.
In medieval Europe, children were still early age they were usually sent to work far from their father's house. The money they earned was sent to the family budget. Of course, both parents and children missed this forced separation. Therefore, in England, once a year, a day was appointed when you could go home to your relatives and spend this day with them. Children brought their mothers, grandmothers small gifts- fresh eggs, bunches. This day was full of joy and had quite a festive atmosphere.
The feeling of the holiday was complemented by a special simnel cake, which was called “mother's cake” and was prepared according to a special recipe. Now it is often baked for Easter.
Of course, not all families could afford to bake a cake, but everyone tried to pay extra attention to their mother that day.
Today, both in the UK and in many other countries of the world, the hashtag #mothersday (in Russia - #mother's day) is very popular. A week before the holiday, social media users post photos with congratulations and wishes.
But back to history and interesting traditions, dedicated to the Day mother. Yes, in USA and Australia There is an interesting tradition: when this holiday is celebrated, people pin carnation flowers to their clothes. If the carnation is red, it means that the person’s mother is alive and well, but white carnations are worn on clothes in memory of the mother, who is no longer alive.
Mother's Day celebration in Austria very reminiscent of March 8 in our country: matinees are held in schools, children learn poetry and make crafts and give their mothers bunches of spring flowers.
in Italy a traditional present that children present to their mothers is sweets.
In Canada there is a custom to prepare breakfast for mom, bring it to bed, give flowers and small symbolic gifts. Also, mothers and grandmothers are released on this day from the traditional duty of washing dishes - this is done with pleasure by children and grandchildren.
The Maltese have been celebrating Mother's Day since time immemorial. Historians believe that the tradition itself originates in the female mysteries of ancient Rome, intended to honor the Great Mother - the goddess, the mother of all gods.
In Finland Mother's Day began to be celebrated officially since 1927 on the second Sunday of May. On this day, flags are hung out, children prepare gifts for mothers, and dads try in the kitchen that day, each to the best of their abilities and capabilities. Grandmothers are also congratulated.
The origin of this holiday in the United States is interesting. In 1872, the famous pacifist Julia Ward Howe proposed that Mother's Day be celebrated as a symbol of the unity of mothers for world peace, but her concept did not find support. This was done in 1907 by another American, Anna Jarvis, who grieved so much after the death of her own mother that she decided to arrange a mother's day all over America. Anna acted decisively: she wrote letters to many government agencies and legislative bodies in order to convince everyone of the need for such a holiday.
Three years later, the state of Virginia was the first to recognize Mother's Day official holiday. In 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson announced that from now on every second Sunday in May is appointed national holiday in honor of all American mothers.
Immediately after the United States, the second Sunday in May was declared a holiday by 23 countries (Australia, Ukraine, Estonia, Oman, Singapore and others).
Mother's Day in Russia began to be celebrated relatively recently - since 1998. According to the decree of the President of Russia Boris Yeltsin, this holiday is celebrated on the last Sunday in November.

If I were born again, I would still choose you as my mother.
