Читать книгу Need to Know Fertility, Conception and Pregnancy - Harriet Sharkey - Страница 85

It is a fact – young women in the UK are getting heavier. In a little over ten years, the number of women who have a body mass index in the obese range has doubled. While we all know that being very overweight is bad for our health, few women are aware of just how their weight can influence their pregnancy. This is important to know as your weight is something that you can influence before you think about conceiving, and by doing so you make a difference to your health and your pregnancy.
