Re: baby weight!!people hate!!!
Women should not take their being pregnant as license to eat carelessly/recklessly.
True.
However, pregnant women are advised by the doctor to gain a certain amount of weight...and they're supposed to increase the number of calories a certain amount (that I can't remember). So the weight gain is also due to food/caloric intake....and is not just limited to the water weight/baby weight/enlarged uterus.
But that calorie is to be consumed by the baby inside. Not for her.
Now you can eat healthy foods...but if you increase the amount and thus increase the calories....you will gain weight.
Yes. But temporarily, not for long.
So, you can't depend upon just diet alone...you also have to consider the amount of food you're eating as well as exercise. Pregnant women are supposed to increase their caloric intake....they're supposed to gain a certain amount of weight.....but as the pregnancy progresses, it can become physically difficult to exercise.
Not true.
Women do continue to work and be active till end of pregnancy. Happens all the time except in families which encourage women to be inactive durng pregnancy due to myth that somehow if woman is normally active, she will have miscarriage.
Yes, medically some women are adviced bed rest and be less active if they have precious baby or placenta praevia, incompetent cervix..etc. but that is not a blanket advice.
Lack of activity during the pregnancy will lead to weight gain.
*Unless there is a medical reason, a woman should continue normal daily activities. *
But even if a woman did not gain much weight during her pregnancy.....even if she ate fairly healthy.....it's unreasonable to expect her to go back to her pre-pregnancy weight/shape in 6-8 weeks.
Why? Prove it by evidence.
Even women who have delivered naturally...need to wait a period of time before exercising.
*There is no need for exercise to lose weight if she did not gain unrealostic weight. *
Pregnancy induced diabetes maybe one reason for weight gain but still temporaary.
Some women might even gain weight after delivery....because they have to eat in order to nurse...
*A myth. *
A good sensible diet with healthy supplement will not make her gain weight.
.and they're not able to exercise that much (or at all) because they're taking care of the baby.
Really? How?
So, many factors play into it. The issue can't be simplified to just diet alone.
