| My What to Expect book said that preg women give off a pheromone that attracts mosquitoes more than normal.
Plus we are warmer than usual when preg, and so give off more heat which also attracts them.
With all the delights of pregnancy adding up like this, does anyone else find it miraculous that the human race is even around? I would have understood if our distant ancestors had just said, no more! We're done with pregnancy already!
It's a mystery! |
