don't get yourself upset - i know easier said than done. but I read something recently that nearly 35% (maybe 38 i can't remember exactly) of women having babies today are overweight - there is no way that all these babies are being born with birth defects. Is the risk higher...maybe, but if it wasn't an overweight factor, it would probably be something else.

I think the best thing you can do for yourself if you are concerned would be to eat as healthy as you can and try to work in reasonable exercise during your pregnancy. I would also watch sugar as well as salt intake. That would probably help.

Don't go nuts reading the articles. I'm trying to make sure I get my veggies & fruits & water in. I do feel like I'm eating MUCH healthy than pre-preggo. Hopefully that will help
