Women who ‘eat for two’ during pregnancy risk becoming fat for life, new research has warned.
While it is healthy for mothers-to-be to put on some weight, doctors say an increasing number pile on too many pounds.
Scientists have found that doing so could ‘reprogram’ a woman’s body to automatically lay down more fat in middle age.
By contrast, those who refuse the temptation to over-indulge during pregnancy may be afforded a degree of protection against obesity in later life.

The study, by the University of California San Diego, provides clues to why some women, including mother-of-three Kate Winslet, 43, have stayed slim despite having comparatively big families.
Others, including the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister, Pippa Matthews, who were cautious about how much they ate during pregnancy, can also look forward to keeping their enviable figures.
The research began when the team at UCSD noticed that more American women (38 per cent) are obese than men (34 per cent) and the gap widens from middle age. The difference – 27 per cent of women versus 26 per cent of men – is less marked in England, but does grow from middle age.

In tests with mice, which share a similar physiology to humans when it comes to putting on weight, they found it was not inevitable for rodents to pile on the pounds after becoming mothers.
However, if overfed while pregnant, maternal obesity became far more common.
Professor Jianhua Shao, who led the study, said all the mice shed weight after birth, regardless of whether they had eaten healthily or not during pregnancy, but from that point, those given an ‘unhealthy’ high-fat diet began to put weight back on.
Tests showed fat storage cells in the overfed mice became less responsive to oestrogen, a hormone that plays an important role in fat storage and energy use.
Professor Shao said this amounted to a ‘reprogramming’ of the metabolism, which predisposed the mice to put on weight in the long term.
‘If these findings hold true for humans, the take-out is that if you want to remain slim in later life, you need to avoid putting on too much weight during pregnancy,’ he added.
The research, published in the International Journal of Obesity, adds to growing evidence that overeating or carrying too much weight in pregnancy can be dangerous, including studies showing the children of women who were obese during pregnancy are more likely to grow up to be overweight or obese in adulthood.
It comes as a Southampton University study warns that half of all pregnant women in Britain put on too much weight.
Professor Keith Godfrey said it put them at greater risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in later life, particularly if they failed to shed the extra pounds after birth.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
