Re: 14
Moderators,
maybe make this a note on its own?
Pregnancy tips.
For example, my wife swears by red respberry leaf tea during pregnancy
to help against nausea, and it is said to help in a smoother delivery.
Why? I don't know, but it seemed to work for her, if only psychosomatic.

When I was 2-4 months pregnant I suffered from severe nausea and
I got rid of it by taking a vitamin B6 and a Dolamite tablet every
morning. It got rid of it. I had read about it in an Adelle Davis
book.

| 152.3 | Pregnancy's impact on the child's personality (?) | TOKNOW::METCALFE | Eschew Obfuscatory Monikers | Thu May 24 1990 15:26 | 41 |
[before I start, could the person with the raspberry leaf addition, post her concoction here?] I have been fascinated with the relation that the mother's attitude may have on the baby while still in the womb. Four cases (my children): While pregnant with Miranda, (two years before we decided to have number one; a surprise at the time) we decided to enjoy it and be happy (we were 19 and married for two and a half months when Joy conceived). Miranda was a happy baby, is optomistic, and out-going. While pregnant with Jessica, (3 months to conceive from when we decided to have number two), we had stresses in our lives. Jessica is shy, had crying fits at the drop of a hat in her early years, and is very sensitive. While pregnant with Emily (11 months to conceive from when we decided to have number three), I had just changed careers into High Tech, things seemed to have gotten much better (out of school and all that). Emily is out-going, intelligent (Joy and I played chess almost always during her pregnancy), happy, and unique. While pregnant with Andrew (conceived on the night she said "tonight is a very good chance..."), things were a little hectic, but not the stress of Jessica's pregnancy. Andrew is shy, sometimes impatient, very loving, and happy. Each of my children are different from the other. I know some of it has to do with child positioning (second child) but I can't help but wonder about the feelings, emotions, and attitudes that pass through the umbilical cord and how it affects the child. I've observed other mothers during and after pregnancies with (IMO) interesting results. Have any of you mothers/parents had these types of thoughts? Do you think there is a significant bearing on the personality of the child from the mother during gestation? Mark Metcalfe | |||||

Re: Mark,
Absolutely! Having had 7, I can strongly agree that my attitude
affected each of my children. The body does release various chemicals
according to stress levels, so I see no reason why attitudes would
not cause the body to react in different ways.
Now for maternity tips...
Pour boiling water over cinnamon sticks and steep. Add sweetner
if desired. Very good for nausea.
For those gawdawful leg/thigh/foot cramps...
Try antacid tablets--especially effective at bedtime.

Barbara and Mark
I also think that the child in the womb has a personality. However
I've only been pregnant with one of my 5 kids so I have no way
to compare.
But I definite felt that there were things about my oldest that
I 'knew' about him before he was born.
(one being that he is a very stubborn individual when he really
wants something)
