Do obese mothers give birth to obese babies? I'm serious. Do the babies accumulate fat along with the mother while in the womb? Does this increase the chances of the child having diabetes?

Yes, they do. There are a correlation between the mothers eating habits and damages to the fetus, especially when it is a lot of fat and little micronutrients and vitamines. The risk of diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver and enlarged heart are also increased in babies born from obese mothers.
This is why the whole #mybodyisNOTbroken debacle infuriates me to no end. Just because you MIGHT be capable of getting pregnant doesn't mean you should, especially when you have a body so unhealthy it will damage you child from the moment of conception. Why the fuck are these white, middle class sows so incredibly selfish and irresponsible?

Because they're sows... Pigs have no responsibility either.

They sure do. Being overweight and eating poorly while pregnant is a contributing factor to gestational diabetes. Even nondiabetic mothers who overeat are at risk of having a gigantic fucking baby that can't be born vaginally and now has to be delivered by cesarean, which happens to also up a kids lifetime obesity risk and chance of developing asthma and allergies (which are also risks for fat kids in general.)
It's selfish and dangerous.
The food you eat actually flavors your amniotic fluid, and there is lots of research linking prenatal nutrition and childhood health and it's astonishing.

An obeast mom also puts the baby at risk for shoulder dystocia, which is a real emergency. The baby's head delivers through the birth canal, but the shoulders are too big to pass through. Sometimes the doctors will have to break the baby's collarbone in an attempt to save it.
