Brain Candy for expectant parents!
Pregnancy is an adventure.
Lots of books tell you the basicsââthe baby is the size of [insert fruit here].â But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to wonder just how a baby might tinker with her bodyâand vice versaâand chased down answers to the questions she wouldnât ask her doctor, such as:
âą Does stress sharpen your babyâs mindâor dull it?
âą Can you predict your babyâs temperament?
âą Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?
âą Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?
âą How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years later?
This is a different kind of pregnancy bookâthoughtful, fun, and filled with information you wonât find anywhere else.
