The trouble with research like this is that it usually gets generalised and distorted in the public opinion, leading to a new kind of mythical thinking because “science”. Publish some research about the influence of stress on fetal genetics, and suddenly everyone scoffs at pregnant women who don’t do daily relaxing pregnancy yoga with relaxing aroma therapy. Or the ones that even watch stressful TV shows like GoT despite being pregnant!
I’m only mildly exaggerating here. I am still underwhelmed by my recent peek in midwifing literature.
