ya pete, i've also heard some theories of transplacental transmission of memory / emotions etc., which some say can even be tranmitted to eggs/sperm ... really too weird for me! then again, not too late to start the pep talk on the little swimmers !
HRH and other senior (as in aged) members of the board - please feel free to ask me your health / pills / operations related questions, here or pm, i am probably better at those than the theories on if i was a catepillar 32 years ago.
