How healthy would a baby be, born in space?

Asked by everephebe (11611points) January 23rd, 2011 from iPhone

How healthy would a baby be, born in space or 0G? Provided that the baby was conceived, developed and born in zero gravity. What effects would a lack of gravity have on the baby in the womb, on the pregnancy?

Would there be major birth defects, or would the baby come out completely symmetrical?

Theories, thoughts and science appreciated… Thank you.
