British scientists have found that women who are overweight, the chances of a successful pregnancy are quite low. Moreover, at conception, obese women already have less healthy embryos.
The study compared the development of embryos in obese women and women with normal weight. It turned out that the first egg cells were significantly smaller in size, and, therefore, the chances of a successful conception were lower
Doctors are convinced that this difference will certainly affect the health of children born from such embryos. Doctors have long warned that the rapidly spreading obesity among pregnant women will adversely affect the health of their offspring. However, the real relationship between the weight of the mother and pathological changes in the fetus was discovered only now.
