An interesting article about how obesity can start in the womb. A wake-up call for me, since when I was pregnant, I had to go in for a fasting glucose test because I failed my initial fasting glucose test. Gestational diabetes correlated with diabetes in children. The intrauterine lining can overnourish the fetus which could re-set the hunger appetite for a baby in the womb. Wow.
