Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Drawing on studies in evolutionary psychology, biology, neuroscience, reproductive genetics, and epigenetics, the influence of the environment on the behavior of genes, Pincott explores questions such as:Â
* Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it?Â
* Can you predict your baby's temperament?Â
* Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?Â
* Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?Â
* How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years later?Â
This is a different kind of pregnancy book--thoughtful, humorous, intimate, and filled with information you won't find anywhere else. ÂFrom the Author
** Recipient of starred reviews from Kirkus and Library Journal **
Science writer Jena Pincott spent her pregnancy and postpartum months asking the types of questions that doctors don't answer, and that expectant mothers will not expect. Â In this curiosity-driven exploration into the "hidden" side of pregnancy, learn how genes play favorites, amniotic fluid carries flavors; how semen can be a fetus's friend or foe; how the brains shrinks and grows; and what mind-control chemicals are doing in breast milk, sweat, and tears.Â
