Do Moms Who Work Less Have Healthier Babies?
Pregnant women and their newborns tend to be healthier when the economy is worse, a new study shows. Why?
Imagine you lived in Barcelona and lost your job, like thousands of Spaniards did each year of the most recent recession. And also, imagine you were pregnant. Would you sit around the house, anxiously sending out job applications and stress-snacking on churros? Or would you take long walks in the Mediterranean sun and stop at farmers' markets along the way?
Spanish moms, it seems, often choose the latter.
