This mom lifted weights through her pregnancy and now her baby has 'big, big muscles.'
Added another,"That baby's stronger than I am."
Banda says that Ariah, who was born on Nov. 11, also has serious neck strength: She was holding her head up at two weeks old. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, this milestone typically occurs between 1 to 2 months of age.Though it would be fun to chalk up Ariah’s brawny build to her mom — that’s not how it works, according to Dr. Lisa Thiel, a maternal fetal medicine at Corewell Health in Michigan.
“There is no link between a mom and her exercise regime and how fit she is during pregnancy with her baby's muscle mass," Thiel tells TODAY.com. But it’s very possible that Banda’s healthy, protein-packed pregnancy diet played a role in Ariah’s development. “There is a role for epigenetics in pregnancy and the best example would be nutrition,” Thiel explains. “A healthy diet in pregnancy can have great health benefits for a child.”"They are extending and flexing their arms and their fingers and getting that nervous system activated for movement," she says."But they're not having the resistance force needed to increase muscle mass.
