Father's health really matters in pregnancy

Very interesting research on the need for father's to be as healthy as mothers before pregnancy as the state of their health impacts the health of their children and even their grandchildren. This is new information as the general feeling was that it is the mother's health that is imporant and fathers had no impact at all.
