Study links morning sickness to brighter kids

Then by golly Michael I daresay you've got some genius' in your household

Funnily enough I'd say this to be somewhat true. Out of MIL's 5, 2 have high IQ's. One is in Mensa and one could be if he wanted to. However she had what your lovely wife had for all pregnancies.

Guess that explains my kids then?

And me.

Well it appears my child is destined to be a bloomin' genius as I've been suffering from 24-hr sickness most days since I've been pregnant.

ok im a little concerned about this study...
first of its only 121 women(not a large study) surely over 5 yrs more then 121 women rang the hotline?, also the fact that only the mothers IQ was included as if iq is only hereditory not also environmental, babies breast fed or formula?

Koren says the most important message pregnant women should take from the study is that diclectin, which is the only medication approved to help relieve morning sickness, is safe and effective.

THIS is the scariest part that he is pushing a drug.. so it makes me wonder who paid for this study and if it was more to do with if this drug has an effect on baby then on morning sickness(alll disgused under another name) because very few mothers would choose to do a drug study while pg...
