New Study on Pregnancy

Here’s a new study on pregnancy that is not going to sit well with some mothers.

The University College London study of some 12,500 3-year-olds also found boys born to mothers who had one or two drinks a week were 40 percent less likely to have conduct problems and 30 percent less likely to be hyperactive, even when the differences between social and economic circumstances were taken into account.

They also were better able to identify shapes, colors, letters and numbers, the study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology found.

Girls born to light drinkers were 30 percent less likely to have emotional and peer problems, compared with babies whose mothers abstained from alcohol, the study found.

Just thought it was interesting.
