angelina jolie baby diet

This week’s OK! Magazine reveals Angelina Jolie’s baby diet. No, that doesn’t mean she’s taking a break from adopting and birthing more children. Quite the opposite. “Her goal is to be pregnant by the time Knox and Viv have their first birthday,” reveals the magazine’s source. Even though the doctors of the mother of six have urged her to delay another pregnancy until after July 2009, she’s anxious to get it done sooner than later.

According to OK’s source, “She’s taking prenatal vitamins, has dramatically cut down on her junk-food consumption, and is seeing her obstetrician regularly whenever she’s back in L.A.”

According to a new study, women who gain more than 40 pounds during pregnancy are about twice as likely to give birth to a heavy baby compared to those that gain weight within the recommended range. This is not good! Mothers of babies who weigh more than about nine pounds at birth are at greater risk for birth complications, and heavy babies are more likely to be overweight or obese later in life. Which also means that child will be exposed to more weight related complications, i.e. diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, etc.
