    [self adjustEdgeInsetsForTableView];
}

    if(self.isMovingToParentViewController) {
        self.tableViewForm.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height + padding, 0, 0, 0);
    } else {
        self.tableViewForm.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
    }
}
