News Article: Obesity during pregnancy raises stillbirth risk

Author: Trisha Henry

Parenting is a hard, sometimes devastating task that requires complete physical and mental readiness. One very important part of becoming a parent (mother) is staying fit and in shape.

Studies recently show that obese or overweight women have an increase on the amount of stillbirths that they are giving birth to. As sad as stillbirths are, it is completely avoidable by simply staying healthy. Obesity is obviously one of Americas largest (and fixable) problems.

This article was sort of biased towards women losing weight in order to have a safe pregnancy and I completely agree. Personally, I hope that when women read this article they are inspired to keep fit during pregnancy.
