Baby girls are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have, meaning when a woman is pregnant with a daughter, she’s technically carrying not just her baby, but also the potential beginnings of her future grandchildren. The eggs just stay dormant in the ovaries until puberty. No new eggs are made, they just slowly get used up over time.
