'Pincott uses the latest medical understanding to answer once and for all some of the biggest mysteries and misconceptions of this extraordinary time' - DAILY MAIL
Have you ever wondered what foetuses actually learn when they eavesdrop? Why thinner women have more daughters? Or where the maternal instinct comes from?
Fun, entertaining and informative, Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies? is a different type of pregnancy book. Instead of looking at the how-to it looks at the why, the QI of maternity books. Full of surprising facts that will intrigue expectant mums and dads, Jena Pincott writes about the quirky, under-the-radar side of pregnancy. Understand what is happening to a woman during pregnancy, physically and psychologically - the how and why of pregnancy science.
While pregnant, Jena Pincott found herself wondering how her baby's gestation might tinker with her body - and how her body was shaping the future development of her unborn child. She started to ask questions her doctors couldn't always answer, and uncovered unexpected answers in scientific journals. How does Grandma's diet affect her unborn grandchild? Does stress sharpen your baby's mind?
Drawing on her scientific background, Jena Pincott writes about the hidden science of pregnancy. Here is fascinating supplement to the typical maternity guide, delving into biology, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology and epigenetics. Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies? gives a deeper understanding of what is happening to both mother and baby during pregnancy.
