Reply to comment by CorpFillip in Will my kids inherit the genetic mutations that I aquire during my lifetime? by RedditScoutBoy

The cells in eggs are your cells...and obese women have a higher rate of children with birth defects, same with past and current smokers. Your health determines your kids that's an absolute fact

An egg is a single cell, but my point was that the creation of each egg is the last time the woman’s genetics are relevant.

Anything that happens to her genetics later simply doesnt affect the children’s genetics
