That is only part of the reason you gain weight during pregnancy. When you get pregnant, your body undergoes several changes. The baby adds weight to you of course but the placenta can weigh as much as 3 pounds, the uterus weighs more, the Amniotic Fluid adds about 3 pounds, your breasts get bigger and heavier, your blood supply increases and your body's fat reserves increase. Your doctor should be able to tell you what is a healthy gain during your pregnancy. It can differ with different women.

The good news is, if you continue to eat healthy and exercise, you will lose all the extra weight in the first year after the baby is born.

Answer 2

Having children may lead to weight gain due to several factors. Firstly, pregnancy often involves hormonal changes and increased appetite, which can result in weight gain. Additionally, balancing the demands of parenting, such as lack of time for exercise and healthy meal preparation, can contribute to weight gain. Lastly, stress and lack of sleep associated with raising children may also affect eating habits and increase the likelihood of weight gain.
