Normally pregnancy gains some pounds

A very typical stage for women when they couldn’t have control over weight is pregnancy. I remember those days very well when my wife Rosy who was quite conscious about her weight and fitness of body. She use to spend 2-3 hours on exercises and yoga to maintain the body tune which is essential after marriage.

After 9 months the stage came when she gained 30 pounds because of pregnancy and it was petty surprising that person who is so conscious about fitness gains weight instantly. I took her to family doctor for checkup then she told “Weight gain does things for you and your baby. First of all remember you are growing a new human being. We know that women who deprive themselves of good nutrition during pregnancy tend to have smaller, sickly babies who require more hospital time and have a higher incidence of problems including neonatal death.” Finally I came to know the real cause behind the weight gain.

Where the Weight Goes

7.5 - 8.5 lbs Baby
2 lbs Amniotic Fluid
1.5 - 2 lbs Placenta
1.5 - 2 lbs Breast Tissue
3 lbs Blood Volume
2 - 2.5 lbs Uterine Muscle
4 lbs Water
8 lbs Maternal Stores

So I at last was happy because after 30-40 days some one will took birth who will call me the four magical alphabets “DADY”. Doctor also told me that after 2-3 month she would be again fit ‘n fine and may control her weight.
