Extra time commitment, and therefor missing some sleep, can start before the baby is born.

Reminds me of when I would stay up late ironing my wife's maternity BDUs.

With or without starch? Please tell me you were taking care of boots as well!

I don't recall using starch on the BDUs, I might have polished the boots once or twice, but that was just over twenty years ago, so who knows.

If you cosleep with your 8 month pregnant wife she might not be sleeping well and by proximity you may not be sleeping well.

> Several of the studies described changes in hormones before the child was born.

For me, sleep dropped off right after I got the "I'm pregnant" phone call. I'd only known this girl for [time it takes a baby to be detected] days.

Given this is "BBC Future" let me guess, barely above significance and n=16?

I'm unfamiliar with the subject. What's the problem with BBC Future?
