Obesity; another thing you can blame on your mother

Women are constantly being told what to eat, how much to eat, to eat less and to eat more. Although studies show that pregnant women who eat a low-carb healthy diet, most likely put their child at risk of being obese. Apparently women who eat low carbohydrates when they are pregnant show certain changes in their DNA, which is measure in the umbilical cord. genetic changes are known as so-called  epigenetic changes. Epigenetic acts kind of like a dial turning up and down the expression of various genes.

I feel as though that women who choose to go on diets when they're pregnant are somewhat selfish. I understand the fact that you're carrying a child, how possibly could you be selfish? Although carrying the child is only the first step to taking a child, and as most mother and fathers will tell you, you must prepare for the future. Knowing these facts and being on a diet so for that 9 months you won't look that big, that is quite selfish. I mean you're pregnant, you're supposed to look big, that's the beauty of it all.
