The maternal bond (or motherly bond) is typically the relationship between a mother and her child.
While it typically occurs due to pregnancy and childbirth, it may also occur between a woman and an unrelated child, such as in adoption. There are hundreds of potential factors, both physical and emotional, which can influence the mother-child bonding process.
Many new mothers do not always experience the "instantly-in-mother-love" emotions. Bonding is a gradually unfolding experience that can take hours, days, weeks, or even months to develop.
The maternal bond between a human female and her biological child usually begins to develop during pregnancy, with her normally adapting her lifestyle to suit the needs of the developing infant. Beginning around 18 to 25 weeks, the mother also can feel the fetus moving, which can enhance bonding, as can seeing her baby during an ultrasound scan.
The developing fetus hears the mother's heartbeat and voice and may respond to touch or movement. By the seventh month of pregnancy, two-thirds of women may report a strong maternal bond.
My tongue is stronger than my cheek
Don't be mistaken, I'm awake and
Though a child in me sleeps
He will get the best of me
I'm afraid it's way too late now
Passion grabbed me for the takedown
Livid ire, living fire, thrives inside and underneath me
Can't hold it back inside
Can't hold it back inside
(Before I kill what's left inside)
I can't go back inside
Take back the tears you've cried
The choice was made despite me
By Arenal the Mighty
My shouts will echo down the streets
Through the town, you'll hear the sound
And it will wake you from your sleep
Balmy air of wind I breathe
Those blue eyes will fade metallic
Sprout red roots at every cowlick
Reckless rampant, cold abandon, holding passionately
Can't hold it back inside
Can't hold it back inside
(Before I kill what's left inside)
I can't go back inside
Take back the tears you've cried
The choice was made despite me
By Arenal the Mighty
Mighty Arenal would say
Stay miles away
Pack your bags it's not safe
Just a matter of days 'til the end of this place, the end of this place
Tell me the meaning
I keep waking up screaming
She's begging me pathetically to
Let her go, let her go
Stay away
Dormancy is only temporary in Arenal
And it's only a matter of time
[Repeat Chorus]
