Study – Obese Women More Likely to Give Birth Early

Written by The Sarcasmist on July 23, 2010 - Comments (6)

The research was conducted by an associate professor at the McMaster University, in Ontario, Canada, and shows a very strong relationship between being obese, and having to give birth prematurely.

Overweight or obese women were more likely to to give birth before 32 weeks or 33 weeks and the heavier the woman was the more likely she was to deliver early with the very obese 82 per cent more likely to give birth very prematurely. (Telegraph)

This could be a self-defense mechanism on the part of the fetuses. If I was a fetus I would certainly want to get out as quickly as possible if I was being suffocated by mounds of fat.

  2. I don’t remember what it was like to be a fetus, but my mother says I apparently enjoyed it.

  3. I fail to see how anyone would like to have sex with an obese woman.

  4. Excuse me. I’m pretty sure obese MEN would.
