AMMRL,
I can't report any healthy babies, but I would like to point out that
anecdotal evidence is not epidemiology. There are plenty of healthy
children of chain smokers and alcoholics out there. If there are any
harmful effects of static magnetic fields, they would probably occur at
very low probabilities which would require very careful comparisons with
similar groups of pregnant women who are not exposed to magnetic fields.
While these reports from individuals are encouraging, they only prove that
magnetic fields are not acutely harmful.
