to make it firmer, hit some light weight dumbell + reduce fat.. it will be nice

so got eat more, n make sure it's quality food

u won't gain fat.. keep it up

1) they ate too much during pregnancy thinking that it's their right to gorge whatever they want since they're "eating for two"; and just like any other weight gain, losing weight is hard especially if you havent done it before.
2) your hormones level is altered, a lot more estrogen flooding your body. if you dont already know, estrogen reduces muscle mass and increases fat storage
3) this fat storage is needed for breastfeeding, where mommies burn 500-1000kcals (it's like running 10km) everyday. but since most moms nowadays choose not to breastfeed, the fat remains.

I personally try to control my food during pregnancy. A fetus needs only 300kcals a day (more towards end of pregnancy), so eating double is really an overkill. I gained 8kg so far (baby, water, placenta, blood, fat) - whereas lots of people actually gained 10-30kg. I also plan to breastfeed

My friend lost all of her pregnancy weight (and some more) after 4 months of breastfeeding. It's doable. Just harder if you havent done the weight loss thing the right way (not starving) before.
my weight was 55kg before pregnant. When pregnant I was 90kg. After give birth, drop to 80 but then go up again, cant control my eating habit due to used to eat for two. Then took me 2 years to get down to 60kg. And now Im going up again to 68kg!!! Arrrggghhh frustrated =.=
