I had done endless sessions
of hypnotherapy at home, printed off affirmation cards to stick to my wall, made a
visual birth plan, practised my breathing techniques, watched calm home birth
videos, had a pregnancy blessing with all
of my most cherished female friends; and hired a fabulous doula to make sure that I had the best possible chance
of achieving what I needed for myself and my
baby.
Researchers followed the volunteers with
video cameras (including ones mounted in a three - wheeled stroller, prompting passersby to wonder aloud about a lost
baby, Kaur recalls) to capture
visual evidence
of exhaust blasts or lurking smokers that they could then correlate to particle measurements over the course
of the trip.
