In fact, most mothers feel very sad during pregnancy, watching their originally slender figure gradually become round and round, and it seems that there is nothing they can do to stop it. But those celebrities were also very beautiful during their pregnancy, what's going on? Why did you gain a lot of weight during pregnancy? Let's take a look together.
1. Changes in hormone levels in the body
After pregnancy, the body hormones of pregnant mothers undergo significant changes, with estrogen levels continuously increasing and testosterone levels continuously decreasing. This change can lead to a gradual increase in fat, and most of them grow in areas such as buttocks, abdomen, waist, arms, and legs. In addition, during the later stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers may experience swelling and appear fuller.
2. Lack of exercise
After pregnancy, pregnant mothers are prone to drowsiness and always feel tired. A little exercise can make them feel exhausted. So long-term lack of exercise is also one of the reasons for gaining weight during pregnancy.
3. Overnutrition
Many pregnant mothers, in order to ensure the smooth and healthy development of their babies, will eat a large amount of nutritious food in a short period of time, and their appetite will double compared to before. But the nutrients that the fetus can truly absorb are very limited, and this excess heat will only grow on the pregnant mother's body in the end.
4. Protecting the fetus
Pregnant mothers have belly fat not only because the fetus continues to grow, but also to protect the fetus from harm caused by external factors.
