Fit For Baby Making?

If your hubby is chubby, it might be harder for you to get pregnant, according to a study presented at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

Men with a BMI of 30 or more (considered obese) were 40 percent more likely than those with a normal BMI to have to have sperm abnormalities. And they were 60 percent more likely to have less semen- that reduces the chances of a winner reaching your egg. Excess fat may increase the testicles' temperature and interfere with sperm quality.

So if you are both craving a bun for your oven, join a gym together to achieve not only a great body but to have a body fit for having a baby.
