Obese mothers 'risk spina bifida'

Untrue. It is their fetuses and newborns that are at risk.

"Mothers-to-be who are obese increase their odds of having a baby with abnormalities including spina bifida, researchers say.

Their analysis of data from 39 studies found obese women were more than twice as likely to have a baby with spina bifida or another neural tube defect.

The risk of heart defects and cleft lip was also raised, the Journal of the American Medical Association says."

Kudos, fatsos.

More ways you abuse your children.

And more reasons to discourage fat people from having children.
