Happy Mom, Healthy Baby

Facts of Life

The happier a mom-to-be is about being pregnant, the greater her baby's chances of being born at normal birth weight. That's according to a study conducted at the University of Colorado's Health Sciences Center in Aurora, Colo., and published in Annals of Family Medicine. Low birth weight is the No. 1 cause of death in newborns in the United States.
