The big, just got BETTER
Hehehe..
Shall we get our government to review this to promote our boom rates?
WHY Do we always have to wait for someone to do, someone to die, someone to search before we can PROVE that it works?
How come there isn't any RISKs involved in making decisions?
Or they just want to MINImise as much RiSk as possible?
Scardy CAT!!!

32-HOUR WEEK CAN AFFECT UNBORN BABY
-----------------------------------
LONDON - Pregnant women who work more than 32 hours a week in stressful
jobs risk the health of their unborn child, new research claims.
Babies born to these women have been found to be five ounces lighter than
the average birth weight - the same as those of pregnant smokers. The
results provide evidence of the effect of stress on a developing baby and
has led the man in charge of the research to call on pregnant women to
work no more than 24 hours a week.
The study - involving 7,000 women and conducted by the Amsterdam Born
Children and their Development research group - also found that mothers
suffering from stress are more likely to have babies that cry excessively.
It revealed that working long hours increased the risk of developing
pre-eclampsia, a serious complication of pregnancy caused by a defect in
the placenta that restricts blood flow to the baby.
Prof Gouke Bonsel, who headed the study, said: "Women with high stress
jobs would do better to work no more than 24 hours from the beginning of
pregnancy."
Prof Vivette Glover, from the foetal and neonatal research group at
Imperial College London, said more flexibility and understanding in the
workplace was needed. "Stress increases the levels of a hormone called
cortisol in the mother. This hormone can cross the placenta and we know
that cortisol can cause a slowing in growth," she said. - AGENCIES
