What are the causes for weight gain during pregnancy and after Pregnancy? please explain.

Question

Hi. Thankyou for the query.  Weight gain is normal during pregnancy. If you gain more than the normal weight during pregnancy , it's either because you did not eat right prior to pregnancy and are eating lots now or that you are already overweight or that your baby weight is more. Post delivery if your diet is good and you are taking good care not to neglect your diet and health chances of you losing pregnancy weight is higher. Most people tend to randomly blame pregnancy for their drastic weight gain. I believe if you have been taking care of your health prior to ,during and post pregnancy then you do not gain unwanted weight and you get back to your pre pregnancy weight at the right time as well.
