Being a mother is a career, a difficult but fun profession..Im a loving mother and my baby is just 9motnhs old.Even if i lose weight thats fine with me ,as long as my daughter is healthy..The problem is my family, they told me i look ugly because of my weight im too thin.. Guys , can you give me tips on how to gain weight? im taking vitamins and even eating a lot, but i guess it's still useless since my baby breastfeeds..help!

That is a problem not a lot of people go through after a baby. I would talk to your doctor, you may be too thin and may not be. Talk to your doctor to gain weight the right way.

I guess I'm too thin..that's what my family says. I'm thin I'm thin, so i said, YEAH YEAH YEAH.. Because they don't stop teasing me..My husband told me i should start exercising so that my metabolism will become faster so i could eat more and gain weight..When he arrived from other country and saw me this thin, i got depressed when i saw his expression, he said i looked like a skelleton! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! what an exaggeration! So i became conscious and worried,..uhmm. i don't know..I don't want to procastinate this ..im afriad that my husband would find someone pretty and sexy..

I have never had the problem of having to gain weight. Why don't you talk to your doctor about this. He will tell you if you really do need to gain weight to be healthy.

I think that it's normal for a lot of women to lose weight after they have a baby, esspecially if they are nursing. Are you eating normally or forgetting to eat? I know when I had my first child, I would litterally forget to eat because my nerves were so crazy and I was concentrating so much on the fact that she needed me every second of the day, so I just would forget to eat. I would definitely advise you to speak to your doctor about it if you are truly worried, but don't let people get you down and don't let thier comments bother you. Your husband could have been a little nicer about it and he should love you for who you are. Let me know when you find out if there's a problem or not.:)
