There is a kind of theory that pregnant women should be fed to two. According to a recent study published in the Diabetologia newspaper, weight gain due to eating during pregnancy can seriously damage the health of the fetus.
The researchers reviewed 905 new mothers along with their babies and observed that individuals who had received many pounds during pregnancy had jeopardized the health of toddlers. The same was observed in mothers who had gained very little weight during pregnancy.
Mothers who had eaten more than usual during the pregnancy period were predisposed to being affected by diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
Also from this study it was found that most pregnant women have no idea how much the ideal amount of calories they should take on average per day. According to the specialists, this amount of calories varies from one individual to another, and the best is for pregnant women to take care of the mass.
