There are several reasons for the acquisition of excess weight during pregnancy. Firstly, it is considered fair that the expectant mother should eat as much as possible - "for two". Many women during pregnancy no longer follow the balanced diet and allow yourself to relax, justifying it with the needs of the future baby.
Secondly, the woman "in position" is often much less moves, that is obtained from food energy is not wasted. In addition, pregnancy - it's always stress, restructuring of all systems of the body. It includes a specific mechanism of protection of the future baby, actively developing body fat on the abdomen, waist and hips.
Third, the purchase of excess weight may depend on heredity. Genes are largely responsible for the type of your figure. If one of your parents is prone to be overweight, it increases the probability that you'll be overweight. And it increases even more if the excess weight is both of your parents. But, although heredity and affects your tendency to gain weight and thinness, you inherit from your parents are not the exact weight, but only a possible range. Further, all depends on your diet and physical activity.
Unfortunately, we only inherit the tendency to gain weight, but also the temporal trends to weight gain. And if your parents before 30 years was quite slender, and by 50 years gained extra weight, remember this and take the appropriate action in advance.
Tendency to gain weight and distribution of the fatty layers during pregnancy and right after it almost always genetically determined.
