Chocolate During Pregnancy Has Good Impact on Baby
Tue Apr 6, 4:56 PM ET  
 
LONDON (Reuters) - Pregnant women rejoice. Eating chocolate is good for the baby, say Finnish researchers.  
 
Scientists at the University of Helsinki, who asked 300 pregnant women to record their chocolate consumption and stress levels, found that daily treats had a positive impact on the baby's behavior.  
 
Six months after the infants were born the mothers who had eaten chocolate reported more reactions such as smiling and laughter in their offspring.  
 
"And the babies of stressed women who had regularly consumed chocolate showed less fear of new situations than babies of stressed women who had abstained," New Scientist magazine said on Tuesday.  
 
Katri Raikkanen and her colleagues who conducted the research admitted they can't be certain that chocolate consumption and the babies' behavior are not linked with other factors.  
 
"But they speculate that the effects they observed could result from chemicals in chocolate associated with positive mood being passed on to the baby in the womb," the magazine added.

I'm a chocoholic.  When I was preggers, it gave me gruesome heartburn.  My daughter is preggers with #2 and she experienced the same.
 
Interesting article, Rhune.

The beauty of Pepcid-AC is that you can take it when you're pregnant and it does a lot for controlling pregnancy heartburn.  If she doesn't take it, I'd recommend it.  I took it throughout both my pregnancies and it sure made a difference.

On the eighth day, God created chocolate....  
Chocolate creates endorphins (happy hormones), which will put a smile on you and the child's face

Grin Grin GrinChocolate?  Did someone say chocolate?  Never ate a piece of chocolate I didn't like!  Grin  Addicted I am and don't care who knows it!  Cool Cool Cool
Yum, Yum, chocolate marshmallow easter eggs from Russell Stover are the best, unless it is in the shape of a bunny, they are larger. Grin  Then there are the assortment, pecan delights, truffless and I could go on and on and on........... Grin Grin Grin  
 
Hey, I don't need an excuse to eat chololate!
