Pregnant Women Shoud Stop Drinking Tap Water
	People stopped regarding tap water as a luxury a long time ago - in some parts of the world, at least - and for all of us fortunate enough to live in a modern, developed society, tap water is part of our daily lives and we need it as strongly as we need to breathe or sleep. Tap water is cleaned via a process known as "chlorination", during which a series of chemicals are pumped into it to kill germs and dangerous bacter ... [read more >>]

Morning Sickness Causes Found
	Morning sickness could be rather annoying for most pregnant women, but it may in fact have the role of protecting the embryo. According to doctors, morning sickness is the sign of a healthy pregnancy, although it’s not yet known if it leads to a successful one or not. Alternatively, it could be the effect of the pregnant woman and the embryo fighting over body resources. Samuel Flaxman, evolutionary biologist at the University ... [read more >>]

	About 3-4 % of the human babies are born bottom first.
