    It took till this year for scientists to have the idea to use mri to track brainchanges in pregnancy.

      Gravity took FOREVER before someone went “wait why?” and there’s tons of stuff we don’t even think about, like the ‘new shape’ that people just didn’t think to talk about because it’s just so simple
