It’s January 2014 and I’m in my 15th week of pregnancy. One of my coworkers tells me: “Make sure to get enough rest and watch cartoons. It will be good for your baby.”
I ask her to see if I understood correctly: “Watching cartoons is good for my baby?”
She says: “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?
