"Postpartum Weight Gain Facts You Need To Know"

You need to know what your dealing with so you can effectively.....For women, the biggest "weight gain triggers" are major life changes. Many women gain a little weight after graduating from high school or college. Marriage is another major life change that can tack on a few more pounds.

By far, the biggest change for most women is the birth of their children. Here is some postpartum weight gain information you need to know that most other websites won't tell you...

For most women, the range for weight gain during a healthy pregnancy is anywhere from 25 to 35 pounds. This may be adjusted according to personal cirucumstances, such as medical conditions.
Once the baby is born, it is natural to lose 10-15 pounds immediately. This is a good start, but often, not nearly the amount that was gained during the pregnancy.

If you breastfeed, you can look forward to at least minimal weightloss during this time. A little more will come in the weeks after you have stopped breastfeeding. Even this weightloss will be very limited.
It is no secret that weight gain is unhealthy. Nor is it a surprise that weight gain can lead to much more serious complications than not fitting into your favorite outfit. Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, circulatory disorders, and so many more health problems are associated with obesity.

But really, whats the main problem here? You feel horrible. You start to think you are ugly and unnatractive. This weight takes a toll on your self-esteem.

You even wonder when your husband or boyfriend is going to start looking for someone younger, prettier, thinner.
