Morning Sickness linked to smarter babies

I feel so much better now!

I feel so much better now!

Of course, I am a little pissed off that the eminent doctor says that women should feel empowered to seek medication to help “if they have a job, like a doctor” and they have to work.

Personally, I think ALL women should feel empowered to seek help, regardless of employment status.

But I’m not a doctor 😉

  1. Oh dear. If you’re useful, you don’t have to suffer.

    Anyway, moving on to ideas worth taking any notice of, if there is a correlation between morning sickness and intelligence, my kids are going to make Barry Jones look like a bacon-stained mouth-breathing half-wit. I hope I’m not getting into a I-suffered-more-than-you-did trip*, but on my first dental visit after the kids were born my dentist actually gasped, B movie style. Apparently my teeth were, well, dissolved. Noice.

    *Which I did, of course! 😛

  2. well, that explains a whole lot! Hopefully if my kids have babies and are morning sick like I was, they too will be smart enough to surround themselves with wonderful people that can help them hold it together while they are so sick, even if they aren’t as important as _some_ other people with important professions…

    1. Hopefully by the time your kids have babies, they will have proper doctors that treat this illness like a medical condition, not a figment of the imagination, or a just punishment for pregnant women (because being pregnant is so much fun, not!).

    1. Don’t worry Celia! I am sure Alex is a very bright little boy! I think this study was just meant to reassure women that seeking medication would not affect their babies in the long term 🙂
