3) Cody has always carefully controlled her caloric intake, and is lean. During her unplanned pregnancy, she continued to eat the same, hoping that taking prenatal vitamins and minerals would ensure that her fetus would grow normally. Her only complication during pregnancy was persistent constipation and consequent hemorrhoids. She gained only the minimum weight suggested by her doctor, and delivered a healthy, full-term infant; her pre-pregnancy weight was rapidly reestablished. Propose an explanation for how she managed to gain enough weight, did not violate the law of conservation of mass, and for her only complication. What does this suggest about eating for two” that some pregnant women do?
