Besides making sure your wife is healthy during pregnancy, recent research at the University of Adelaide has discovered that it’s equally important to be healthy before she becomes pregnant. This was reported in The Advertiser yesterday.
The research found under-nutrition from fertilisation to day seven altered the development of the fetus and placenta and “programmed” the fetus for disease in later life.
So, if you plan to have children, please do some preparatory work to make sure that your wife is healthy and on a good diet.
