Also from the New Scientist, a Canadian study suggests that mothers who have severe morning sickness may have brighter babies. I am, on the whole, slightly sceptical about how meaningful these results are, but maybe it will interest the expectant mothers on the flist nonetheless....

I may possibly be carrying a genius. :) *is still not over the horror of those first three months*

You were one of the two people I thought of when he saw that...!

I had morning sickness the entire time--nine months of throwing up, all day, every day. I'm surprised my son is not a prodigy. Lol.

Oh, poor you, that sounds terrible!

Well, purely anecdotally, the younger one was the pregnancy that put me off pregnancies for all time (no, really, I had my tubes tied with very little hesitation mere minutes after he was born) and he is terribly bright. But he's also the product of the union of two people who do abnormally well on most intelligence-testing metrics, so I don't think I'd ascribe his brains to my crap pregnancy....*G*

I'm not convinced by their methodology, so I suspect you're right!

Since my mum was hospitalized for the first months, does that make me a genius...? It would be nice if something good came out of it!
