Pregnancy Weight Gain: What To Do Postpartum

Yes, yes we all gain weight due to pregnancy and we would be more than happy to get rid of these unwanted pounds as soon as possible.  Sad to say, this won’t happen right after we give birth.

Dr. Abat says, “Weight loss immediately post-partum averages at five kilograms.”  As soon as you are able, getting into a healthy diet coupled with regular exercise will do the job, especially since the good doctor says that “normal pre-pregnant weight is usually obtained six months after delivery.”
