    After my first baby I gained weight because of breastfeeding, being on blood pressure meds, and having the Mirena put in. After my second baby I had no BP meds or birth control, but I lost almost no weight while breastfeeding. Although every expectant mom gets told that breastfeeding will make the baby weight drop off like melted butter, that's not true for everyone! My weight loss sped up considerably once I was no longer nursing, but at 9 months pp I still have a few lbs to go.

  • during pregnancy,they need to much more than before,and the baby is absorbing with mothers,they are easy to fell hungry

    Exact same reason men gain weight as they age. They become more sedentary and their bodies retain fat more aggressively.

    A lot of women gain weight post pregnancy because of the difference in hormonal levels, changes in body types, stress as well as thyroid. Experts advise that all you need to do is eat healthy, exercise.
