   Pregnancy is one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life as well as a critically important time of growth and foundational development for the unborn child.

Of the women being monitored, 84 became pregnant during the peak of rainy season, when food was scarcer and 83 women became pregnant during harvest season when food was more plentiful.  The findings showed that the dietary intake of the mother at the time of conception greatly affected how the DNA was expressed in the child and what a mother ate until the time she conceived had great influence on the biological foundation of her child.

The researchers also noted the impact of the mother’s body mass index directly correlated with specific markers in the infant’s DNA, indicating again the impact a mother’s health had on her unborn child.
