What a pile of bunk. Seasickness is most often an ocular/aural =
occurrence. The movement of a boat would be no more stressful to a baby =
in utero than any other movement that the mother performs. As far as =
the nausea goes, unless the person wretches uncontrollable and =
incessantly, it would not be harmful to the pregnancy. I'd like to see =
the studies this information came from.

100% correct. Unless the baby has visual orientation it's unlikely to suffer
from any kind of seasickness. Walking or driving would be far more jarring.
That must be some study!

They interviewed babies and they remembered being seasick in the womb!
Funny thread while it lasted.
