Women Warned About Risks Of Being Overweight During Pregnancy

So what?

"Many pregnant women are unaware that they are overweight or obese, and of the risks this poses to their pregnancy, according to the results of a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA).

Associate Professor Leonie Callaway, of the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospitals and the University of Queensland's School of Medicine, and her co-authors surveyed 412 women in early pregnancy who attended a public antenatal clinic or were patients of a private obstetrician.

The survey found 30 per cent of the women had been overweight or obese before pregnancy. However, 36 per cent of the women who were overweight categorised themselves as being of normal weight. Only 16 per cent of women with a BMI in the obese range categorised themselves as obese."

Stupid, ignorant nutritional child abusers simply do not care, apparently.

The time for the talking to stop has long passed as more nutritionally abused kids are being raised.

The time to enforce the law has arrived.

Hold fat parents and parents-to-be accountable.
