This article talks about misscarages after the 9/11 attacks. Researchers just released information that suggests that due to higher levels of stress and shock in September 2001, there were a higher amount of miscarages mainly of male fetuses. This reduced the number of boys born in september and the following months. A researcher found that since the male fetus hormones are more effected by stressors than female, that explains the drop in male birth in the few months following the 9/11 attacks.
I found this article interesting because it was just released 9 years after the 9/11 attacks. I also learned that male hormones are more effected by stressors that females. i found this very interesting.

I think that this is very interesting that people first related the number of male miscarriages to 9/11.I would think that they would've tested this possible answer to the number of miscarriages a few years ago. I believe that this can't be the exact reason why there was more male miscarriages.I believe that there is cycles of when there's more men than women.I hope they do more research to find out if this is true.
