Preventable Complications in Childbirth Growing in U.S.

Preventable also means you can take measures yourself to reduce these risks, instead of always holding everyone else responsible for everything you do.

Step one, don't be a disgusting, unhealthy fat slob. That ones on you.

We should sue McDonald’s for being delicious and convenient.
 
The article points to the fact that women are giving birth that are both older and more obese than in the past. People obviously need to take better care of themselves in this country.

In particular, I think a lot of pregnant women see pregnancy as their opportunity to "eat for two" and stop exercising (if they were in the first place). That is a terrible idea for your own health and the health of the baby. Women should not become obese during pregnancy, and they should not allow their bodies to become weak or unfit.
It would be ridiculous to argue with any of this, but I do think our policy should reflect what is instead of what should be. I just have zero faith that current political leadership will actually improve healthcare and this last bill certainly will make it more expensive.
