PiscesOverweight? Blame Your Mother's Pregnancy!
Guest blogger Kate Tuttle: Great news! Now there's something else you can blame on your mom .... It turns out that lifelong struggles with weight can begin before we're even born! New research suggests that obesity, far from being a by-product of the choices you make regarding eating and exercising -- or even genetic factors -- may stem from mothers gaining too much weight while pregnant, which apparently tips off a cascading hormonal effect that leads to babies being programmed to be fat.

When I was pregnant, my OB weighed me at every appointment—but never said anything about my weight gain. There was never any discussion about how much I’d gained or how much I should gain, except when I asked once in my second trimester. I gained a total of 40 lbs, which is well above the recommendation, but never did my OB say anything at all. I think that doctors avoid saying anything to patients about this issue because they don’t want to hurt our feelings…but I’d rather that they actually be a doctor and stop trying to be our friends.
Women are so different in body shape and size these days that weight gain in pregnancy cannot be considered normal or otherwise…it’s too difficult to group all of us together and then say that one is too fat and putting on too much weight, and another is not…let’s just focus on doing the right thing in pregnancy, feeding our body and baby the right nutrition so that our baby has the best possible start to life…
There needs to be more comprehensive research before I’ll buy this. What you eat while pregnant is much more important than keeping track of the scale. I had four normal size to large size babies. My last one was 9 pounds 1 ounce. I only gained 35 pounds during my pregnancy and had a healthy diet. None of my children are overweight and we still eat what we want until we are full. The thing is we eat good food that isn’t highly processed.
You know nobody asked me with any of my four pregnancies what types of food I was eating and how much. Until they truly ask every last woman very intimate details about her life and then keep track of the children long term they really can’t say for a fact. Besides the food choices we all make daily is what has the largest impact on our health and weight.
Yeah I’m not sure about this either. My mom is obese, and one sister is super skinny while the other is even bigger than my mom. I’m very thin. Go figure.

Hello. excellent job. I did not anticipate this. This is a impressive story. Thanks!
magnificent post, very informative. I wonder why the other specialists of this sector do not notice this. You should continue your writing. I am confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
I hoped much more from this text. I found it on MSN and hoped it will be more informative
I don’t believe it. The people who are obese now had mothers who didn’t gain that much during pregnancy. I think putting pressure on obese women to not gain too much could add stress and result in bad eating patterns, maybe even weight gain. It has to be handled carefully.
