A major European obesity investigation has called for urgent action to prevent obesity in women of child-bearing age.

The authors, including a team from Edinburgh University, say children born to overweight mothers are at greater risk of health problems in later life.

They say every pregnant woman should have access to dieticians and psychologists to help protect the health of their future children.

During the three-year project several pieces of research were consulted.
