WHY MOST WOMEN GAIN WEIGHT AFTER CHILDBIRTH

Statistics have proven that women gain weight after marriage. For some, there is no need to look attractive after marriage since they conclude they have found their life partners.  For the Ghanaian woman, their waist line changes from 10 to 18 within six to nine months after child birth. Many factors has however been accounted for it.

From the medical  point of view some  pregnant  women resort  to  eating a lot as a result of encouragement from their spouses to eat and feed the unborn child, others depend on  taking a lot of calories as  and when they  dim it necessary.

For the typical Ghanaian women, they abhor to see left over’s, hence they decide to make do with the left over’s. Others also do not take exercises and are always seen sited at a particular place with the TV remote in hand, flipping channels, if your guess is as good as mine.

In view of the above, doctors have advised that pregnant women should do a lot of exercises like taking walks, stretching their legs and many more. This according to doctors does not make them feel lazy.

Psychologists have also advised  that  this attitude of  increasing one’s waistline from 10 to  18  makes  husbands   loose interest in their wives and this they say is one  of the major  causes  of divorces in  the country.

In view of the above, I set out to find out  from  the general public to find out what  they think accounts for this drastic change  from  a waistline of 10  to 18 and also to find out  how a pregnant woman could attract  her husband after child birth. 

 In my interview with a cross section  of the  public,  most  people explained that  women do not exercise  during and  before childbirth. they  also revealed that  most women  take lots of food  that contain calories  and do not burn the facts. For  some  of  the men,  they think that  some women are comfortable with their increased waistline as long as  they still have their husbands married to them. On the contrary  most men who spoke off camera  have resorted to marrying slender women  with the intention that  they would definitely  increase  their waistline after childbirth. 

For some  men  they are ready to let go  of  their spouses  as and when they increase their waistline from  10 to 18 after childbirth.

Well, with the above, am sure you would adhere to the doctor’s decision not to eat late at night and also like it is said in local palance “wa sum dzei wua na wu ye kese” literally meaning when one has piece of mind one gins weight. So choose what pleases you: whether to increase your waist line after birth  and  loose your spouse or to remain in shape.
