The research on exercise was done my Dr. James Clapp III of Cleveland health center (our foremost researcher on prenatal fitness) and for antisocial behavior from smoking there is both medical research and crime prevention organizations: http://www.psych.uic.edu/news/AJPHreview.pdf, http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/reprint/156/6/857.pdf, this one is a tad crazy but still truthful: http://medicolegal.tripod.com/preventcrime.htm. of course it's not the ONLY cause which is why i can't stand comments on singular cases when "in general" meaning the masses the risk is higher. there are always exceptions to the rules and there are ways of "muting" what might have been a health problem with really super healthy habits once a baby is born. in the last 2 years there has finally been studies proving that what we do or don't while pregnant affects children health positively or negatively 2-3 generations down the line. and that what we do when pregnant can "turn on of off" certain health problem genes, that can subsequently be accentuated or be put dormant by lifestyle factors once baby is born. You say you are a PPD survivor. did you know sufficient FOLATE, (and all B vitamins) , exercise, omega fatty acids and vitamin D in the form sunshine could have prevented that? i live by one mantra alone: PREVENTION. Yes some women can't stomach pills when pregnant, mostly because they are given synthetic vitamins, you have to pick natural ones. And yes nausea plays a big part, but vitamins can be powderized and sprinkled on cereal or something.... a good whole foods natural vitamin come in capsules that can be broken and sprinkled.....if there is will there is a way. i have worked with 100's of pregnant women over the last 20 years. i get 100's of new studies every week into my email box.
