Description
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.
