Without physically evaluating her I can't be sure if this is a «preferred position» for her (i.e. if she already has underlying muscular or skeletal
asymmetries) but too much time in this position will likely lead to shortened muscles on the
right side of her body (your left when you're looking at her), which can then make it harder for her to use her

For example, certain biological events during early development, such as excessive androgen production, exposure to synthetic androgens, thyroid dysfunction, Cushing's disease, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, can combine with environmental influences to predispose women to antisocial behavior.69 Additionally, EEG research has uncovered
asymmetries in the frontal activation of antisocial females» brains.70 Normative males and females tend to exhibit asymmetric frontal brain activation, with boys having greater

In contrast, antisocial females tend to exhibit a pattern of greater

Although pre and post-natal maternal depressive symptoms did not independently predict infant frontal function, our study demonstrated a prominent association of the change of maternal depressive symptoms from the prenatal to postnatal period with

right frontal
asymmetry amongst 6 - month infants.
Although relative
right frontal EEG

Although most of studies focused on either prenatal or postnatal maternal depression, they have reached a consensus, that is, that greater relative

After adjusting for post-conceptual age on the EEG visit day, greater - postnatal - than - prenatal maternal depressive symptoms were significantly associated with greater
