Post Pregnancy Weight Gain

What is Post Pregnancy Weight Gain?

Motherhood is the most beautiful feeling in this world. Your baby is the most precious thing that you hold in your arms. But, being a new mother could be quite stressful. Stress and sleepless nights make it hard to lose the extra pounds gained during pregnancy. Weight gain during pregnancy is normal and can be easily managed with diet and lifestyle modifications.

Symptoms

The other symptoms along with the weight gain maybe the following:
Fatigue
Hair loss or thinning of hair
Difficulty in breathing
Constipation
Mood swings
Symptoms due to diseases secondary to weight gain like diabetes, in which there is slow wound healing, increased thirst, and hunger, etc.

Causes

Hormonal changes during pregnancy to support the growing baby are responsible for weight gain. Other factors that slow down the shedding of excess weight are:

Stress: New responsibilities invite stress to new mothers. Increase in stress causes the release of cortisol which is responsible for increased appetite and storing more fat in the body.

Depression or emotional disturbances: Many women experience postpartum depression. Comfort eating, insomnia, increased stress hormones due to depression are responsible to add more weight.

Hypothyroidism: 5-7% of women experience hypothyroidism after pregnancy. Derailed metabolism due to hypothyroidism is responsible for weight gain.

Risk Factors

Older maternal age

Presence of metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, etc.

Prevention

Diet: Eat a well-balanced diet. Crash diets are a big NONO. Daily calorie intake should never be below 1800 calories after pregnancy.

Exercise: Moderate exercise, yoga should be done.

Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding mothers burn 300 calories extra than the mothers who don’t.

Valuable Feedbacks

Prachi

After becoming overweight after pregnancy, I considered joining a gym, but my gynaecologist advised me to see a nutritionist instead. After that, I began looking for the greatest nutritionist, and I discovered Doctor of Srivaidya, who had excellent evaluations. I approached her and followed her food plan for a month, losing 5 kgs and maintaining a healthy haemoglobin level.
