Does a mother's pre-pregnancy weight determine her child's metabolism? The link between a mother's body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy and the metabolic traits of her children is likely mediated by shared genetics and familial lifestyle rather than effects on the fetus during gestation, according to new study.

I am not buying onto any of this. I have seen obese kids with thin as a rail parents. They were even thin pre pregnancy plus I have seen the opposite where the mother was not thin but the children are. I think it is more of the lifestyle of the kids not the mother.
