I chat with a co-worker in Shenzhen.

It’s January 2014, and I’m in my 15th week of pregnancy. One of my co-workers tells me, “Make sure to get enough rest and watch cartoons. It will be good for your baby.”
I ask her to confirm if I understood correctly: “Watching cartoons is good for my baby?”
She replies, “It is. You’ll be in a good mood if you watch cartoons. And this, in turn, will be good for your baby.”
Has anyone ever given you similar advice?
