The answer seems obvious. You're pregnant, you eat fast food and drink soft drinks... your baby starts life overweight and predisposed to being obese because of your habits.
A study done with sheep has shown that the mother's nutrition and the environment of an embryo in the first few days of life – even before implantation in the uterus – can set the scene for later disease, such as heart disease and diabetes. There's no reason not to believe this doesn't hold true across all species of life with gestation periods. More on this study...
It bears the question, 'how many women know they are pregnant the first week of life'? This study would provide an excellent argument for eating healthy and living healthy all of the time, not just when you find out you're pregnant. There are some simple steps you can take to make the transition to a healthier lifestyle if you struggle to live at a healthy weight...or live healthy at all. Don't wait until you feel you have some 'important reasons' to get busy living healthy . YOU are an important reason, so start now.
Carpe Diet!
