Lose the Baby Weight Although the recommended weight gain for a normal pregnancy is between 25 and 35 pounds, many women end up gaining more than this amount during their pregnancies thanks to changing hormone levels that give them a myriad of food cravings.
Other women deal with complications that lead to excessive weight gain or start out their pregnancies overweight, giving them more weight to lose after giving birth. This extra does not have to be something that you live with for the rest of your life.
