trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

Fetuses send stem cells to their mothers during pregnancy to repair maternal organ damage

the verdict

OVERSTATED

true in a weaker form than the claim states

confidence 0/100

Evidence from animal and human studies indicates that bidirectional cell trafficking during pregnancy allows fetal stem cells to enter the maternal circulation, home in on sites of maternal injury, and participate in tissue repair.

what the evidence does support

Fetal cells can enter the maternal circulation and participate in tissue repair during pregnancy, but sources do not establish that sending them is the primary purpose or function.
