Brain Candy for expectant parents! Pregnancy is an adventure. Lots of books tell you the basics?“the baby is the size of [insert fruit here].” But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body?and vice versa?and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn’t ask her doctor, such as: ? Does stress sharpen your baby’s mind?or dull it? ? Can you predict your baby’s temperament? ? Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers? ? Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys? ? How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years later? This is a different kind of pregnancy book?thoughtful, fun, and filled with information you won’t find anywhere else. |
