A study published out of Newcastle University has found that obese women have a greater chance of miscarrying. The study focussed on 41,000 pregnancies which were monitored out of five British hospitals, and found that out of this studied group, obese women were around 50 percent more at risk of experiencing a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant morality when compared to women who had more healthy BMIs.

This coupled with its impact upon a foetus’s development is why most medical experts recommend a complete ban on alcohol during the entirety of the pregnancy.
