When a daughter becomes old enough to resonate with her mother’s later-in-life pregnancy, some interesting things can occur.
A 15-year, University of California research study found that early signs of puberty often result from this “eldest daughter syndrome.” Such signs include changes in bodily hair, skin conditions, cognitive development and emotional maturity. They are especially prevalent when Mom exhibits symptoms of prenatal stress.
This syndrome takes on a life of its own after the baby arrives. The eldest daughter is often thrust into a nurturing role. This might be Nature’s way of ensuring that the infant will survive if Mom were not able to provide adequate care.
Researchers from the United Kingdom’s University of Essex found that eldest daughters are often quite successful in life. Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce are convincing examples of this. It just goes to show: Real-life challenges can be way more fruitful than TikTok ones.
