- Can I eat peanuts during pregnancy? Do unborn babies dream? Can men get pregnancy symptoms too? How much do babies remember? How can I get my baby to sleep through the night? The moment she discovers she's pregnant, every woman suddenly has a million quesÂtions about the life that's developing inside her. Linda Geddes was no different, except that as a journalist writing for New Scientist magazine she had access to the most up-to-date scientific research. What began as a personal quest to find the truth behind headlines and information that didn't patronize or confuse is now a brilliant new book. In Bumpology, Geddes discusses the latest research on every topic that expectant parents encounter, from first pregnancy symptoms to pregnancy diet, the right birth plan, and a baby's first year.eat too much, as it may raise the baby's risk of diabetes. But don't diet, either, as that could have a similar effect. Avoid exercise, as it could trigger a miscarriage, but stay active. Just thinking about these things is enough to raise anyone's blood pressure--but pregnant women need to be careful about that, too, because stress can be bad for the baby. Geddes cuts through the confusion with wisdom, and wit.Packed with astonishing facts, Bumpology answers any question you've ever wondered about having a baby.
