Gaining Too Much Pregnancy Weight Won’t Affect Your Child
From the moment of conception, your baby is an extension of you. While they are only getting a fraction of the calories that you consume, they are taking in a large percentage of your eating habits. Did you know that children born to mothers who gain too much weight during pregnancy are FOUR TIMES more likely to become overweight themselves? These habits not only affect them during childhood but can carry over into adolescence. Conversely, babies born to mothers who gain a proper amount of weight have been shown to better process carbohydrates and fats and are less likely to struggle with weight issues.
