Will Pregnancy Make Me Fat?
Pregnancy can be an exciting time, but for the woman concerned with her appearance it can also be very worrying. Your body will be going through many changes and you may wonder whether the weight gains of pregnancy will be purely baby weight, or if in reality you will also develop excess fat that will affect your body after pregnancy. The simple answer is yes; your body will gain weight. The not so simple answer is that you can control to a certain extent how much weight you gain, and how easy it will be to regain your figure after pregnancy.
Many women will gain weight simply because they eat more during pregnancy (enough for two) and they get much less exercise due to the exhaustion and lethargy that pregnancy can induce. Your diet and the amount of exercise you get are completely under your control, however, and so with a little planning and some thought whilst pregnant, you can minimize the damage and retain your figure.
