Both folk wisdom and modern medical science agree. The health, diet, and behavior of the expectant mother is critically important in giving birth to a properly developed and healthy baby. What is new in the discussion of good fetal development is the role of genetics. In "Born Smart: Unlock The Potential In Your Baby's Genes", Jeanette Bolvary explores the impact that proper nutrition and maternal activity has with respect to a baby's genes during pregnancy -- effects that, for good or ill, can last a lifetime. A key message in "Born Smart" is the possibility of increasing a baby's intelligence prior to birth by regulating the supply of copper to an unborn baby gestation and thereby enhancing the development of the hippocampus and dentate gyrus (the higher learning and thinking areas of the brain). Of special interest to expectant mothers is the practical advice dealing with the avoidance of varicose veins and stretch marks. Simply stated, "Born Smart" is informed and informative, thoroughly 'expectant mother friendly', and very strongly recommended reading for all expectant parents.
