From Nursing Birth (an incredible blog by an L&D nurse, and one which I highly recommend): apparently the American Journal of Public Health is publishing a study which indicates that high levels of job strain in the first trimester can contribute to lower-birthweight babies.
It makes me wonder how big this baby would be if I HADN't been running my butt off last fall!
But kidding aside, it makes me thankful to have a flexible enough job that I was able to take a day off here and there when I felt like I needed to. And as I'm sitting with my puffy feet up on my first Monday off of work at 37 weeks, that feels very right to me, too. And I feel very lucky.
