Until recently, expectant mothers were weighed during every pre-delivery inspection, but doctors realized that this is standard procedure for many women is alarming, and so now rely on data on body mass index tests, which are performed at the beginning and at the end of pregnancy.

What adds to the norm pregnant

However, regardless of how the expectant mother allows himself to excesses, it should be understood that the weight gain is inevitable. Perform basic calculations: the muscle tissue of the uterus is growing rapidly - add 1 kg; 0 placenta weighs 6 kg; Breast cancer - 0, 4 kg; blood volume is also increased - plus 1, 2 kg; amniotic fluid weighs an additional 2, 6 kg; fat that accumulates the body for future breast-feeding, - adds another 2, 5 kg. The need to eat for two - no more than a myth, in fact, increase the portion is not necessarily or even desirable.

However, there is evidence to show that a significant weight gain during pregnancy can be justified breastfeeding.

Some women manage to lose weight quickly through breastfeeding Breast-feeding: feed - and no nails!  Breast-feeding: feed - and no nails!
 But studies show that this remedy is effective only if feed your baby breast milk for at least six months.

Average number of calories that the expectant mother consumes a day, should not exceed 2000, and during breast-feeding is the number can be increased by only 500 or 750 calories.

However, breast-feeding itself requires the conduct of the women less active lifestyle, so nursing mothers are often a feeling of hunger, which causes a lot of them there. That is why many women can not lose the weight gained during pregnancy.
