Conventional wisdom suggests that pregnant mothers should have a healthier lifestyle for their babies.
During pregnancy, the mother s medical conditions and pre-existing conditions are observed to know these conditions can impact their baby.
The recent study
A pregnant mother s health condition is important during pregnancy. However, a recent study says that miscarriage or stillbirth is influenced by the father s health as much as the mother s health does.
The study was led by an associate professor from Stanford University School of Medicine, Michael Eisenberg. It was published in the journal Human Reproduction.
Before determining that a father s health is related to stillbirth and miscarriages, the study observed millions of pregnancies in the United States.
