"There is a relationship between excess weight gain and offspring weight. "Too much weight gain is not in the best interest of the mother or the baby," he said.
Eckel, MD, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and past president of the American Heart Association, a number of recent studies have shown a relationship between excessive weight gain during pregnancy and long-term childhood obesity. In other words, don’t go wild with sympathy eating. "However, there is a lot of evidence that there is something to this." "There has not been, at date, a consistent systematic study to show that this occurs," she said. So we concluded that the males were actually gaining weight from a physiological occurrence or change, probably a hormonal change within them, and that they were picking up some types of cues from the female." I asked her if she thought that her study supported the idea of sympathetic pregnancy in human men. "They didn't appear to be eating any more. "As we weighed the males over the gestation period, we found that they gained 8 to 10 percent of their body weight by the end of the pregnancy," she said. I spoke with Toni Ziegler, PhD, a senior scientist at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, about her research: A study of common marmosets and cotton-top tamarins (two squirrel-size, monogamous monkey species) by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that fathers-to-be (or at least our primate cousins) really do put on extra weight during their partners' pregnancies. The truth is, it’s perfectly natural for prospective dads to gain a little weight during their partners' pregnancies. Becoming a new dad can be overwhelming, but if you pick your food battles carefully, you can find ways to keep eating your favorites. Get into healthy habits now, and you'll be in a better place post-baby.
