Lot's of things can factor IQ scores besides just the actual having of the child. The staying at home raising them for a long time and not having the stimulation to the brain you used to have might be one. Another might be the stress that they go through. I would have to agree with Rache(no a coorect)l here on the fact that them getting retested after the child has grown enough to not need constant supervision would change the score again. It is an interesting thought to think it might have an effect though.
