Guest guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 I used to study stats and that maybe why I am often cynical of any stats I hear. I guess people who are stressed maybe likely to have a smaller birthweight baby, but maybe it is more due to the fact that stressed people are more likely to smoke, drink, or have a poor diet, rather than the stres itself. Do the stats from this research go into all that? I am no expect, just really interested...sorry if it seems like I am being picky...its just a subject area that I am really interested in.

This must be why DS wasn't small as I don't smoke I don't drink alcohol and I eat loads of yummy food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 , Me too, I dont smoke or drink, and regularly ate a large pizza right up to the day before the birth of DS1 (he never engaged). He was 8lb 13oz!! I did have a stressful pregnancy though, but maybe the pizza counteracted it!! Mum to Rohan (4 mths) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
