Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?
[ Betty, Mary Alice and Kelly are the winners of this giveaway. Thanks to all who entered! And thanks to Free Press for sponsoring it! You can find Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?
at Amazon.]
But that's just one interesting fact in Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?: The Surprising Science of Pregnancy
- a book filled with fascinating food for thought.From the back cover:
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.
Simon and Schuster Free Press has reserved three copies for this MommyLife giveaway. Leave a comment for drawing December 1.

Sounds like a fun book...
I don't mind the term fetus at all--it's like calling a teenager an adolescent--I think it's something we as prolifers have to reclaim :)

Wow, I'd love to read this book!

This looks really interesting, count me in! Doesn't fetus actually mean "small one" or something like that in Latin? But I agree that in a pregnancy book, usually baby is used instead of fetus.

Hmmm...intriguing. I wonder, does she also address the idea of trauma in utero? That is, that negative influences/thoughts/emotions can have a negative impact on a developing baby? Would love to read this :-)

Would love to see if what I did getting ready for my babies has any impact on what they are like today!
