During pregnancy, women gain weight—usually. Stars and the media pretend otherwise to expectant mothers. With dangerous risks for the offspring.
during one pregnancy mothers gain weight: some more, others less. However, if you take a look at the glossy magazines, you quickly get the impression that “less” has long since become the norm. Whether Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham or Michelle Hunziker, they were all either slim during pregnancy or showed up a few weeks or even just days later with a dream figure.
A report in the magazine of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” recently made it clear how much these celebrity pregnancies encourage imitation and referred to the dangers that eating disorder like anorexia for the one growing in the womb Baby and the mother can have.

This means that the pregnancy is at the expense of the mother, who is then, for example, more likely to osteoporosis suffers Electrolyte imbalance or heart problems gets,” reports qualified psychologist Silka Hagena to the “Hamburger Abendblatt”.
On the other hand, children are said to develop more slowly as a result of malnutrition: “A recent study from Sweden showed that the children are indeed impaired, with smaller head circumference and delayed developmentand data from New Zealand speak of an increased rate of caesarean sections and depressions following pregnancy.”
malnutrition during pregnancy
