by Wokandapix

The change in the size of a woman 's legs due to pregnancy is primarily due to weight gain and hormonal effects. The American Association of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) generally explains that women increase their weight by 11 to 16 kg as a result of pregnancy, which causes the arch of the sole to disappear and the legs to become larger in half size (5 mm) There are women as well.

Also, a ligament (gut) in the pelvis and a hormone called relaxin that relaxes the joint are released in the late stage of pregnancy and may act on the whole body and loosen the structure of the feet, Leena, Associate Professor of Gynecology at the University of California, Los Angeles Nathan says. It is said that the foot which became big by relaxin does not become small even after childbirth / weight loss.

◆ 02: Weight gain <br> Professor Kathleen Rasmussen of Cornell University said one in four women will experience a weight gain of 5 kg or more one year after birth. Also, on average, I know that 1 kg increase in weight one year after birth.

◆ 03: Alyssa Dweck said of the change <br> gynecologist vagina is, in most cases, but the vagina will be reduced to the original size close after birth, but still with the diameter of the vagina becomes larger when compared to before birth told It is . However, this change is affected by the shape of birth, the size of the baby, genetic factors, and so on.

◆ 04: urination problem One of the serious problem facing women after childbirth is "we can not control the bladder". The Mayo Clinic explains that this is because normal deliveries weaken the muscles that control the bladder, hurt the bladder nerves and the tissues that support them, and the pelvic floor goes down. Cesarean section may also stop the control of the bladder in the same way, training of the pelvic floor muscle is recommended in such a case.

In a study published at the American Journal of Public Health, it is found that a person with one child loses 2 teeth, while a woman with 2 children loses 4 teeth It is. And when the number of children reaches 4 or more, the number of teeth to lose will be 7 on average. The reason why the number of teeth loses as the number of children increases is unclear, but Michael Cackovic of the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center said that hormones during pregnancy affect the bacteria in the mouth He says that oral care during pregnancy becomes important.

◆ 06: breast size <br> pregnancy · pregnancy after women's breast size changes greatly. Fat cells in the non-pregnancy period are predominantly occupied, but when pregnant, mammary gland cells proliferate and become larger in preparation for lactation. However, this is a temporary change, breast feeding will end, the breast cells will decrease and the breast will become smaller.

◆ 07: Hypocupisation of the chest - As the ligaments and elastin extend, pregnancy and childbirth, the female breasts will drop. However, it seems that ptosis of the chest is more relevant to elements such as smoking, weight gain, and multiple pregnancies than lactation.

◆ 08: The risk of breast cancer is low
In 2002 survey , I know that breastfeeding will decrease the probability of breast cancer in life. The probability of breast cancer every 12 months of breastfeeding decreases by 4%. Also, women raising a large number of children in developing countries have been shown to have halved the risk of breast cancer, and it is believed that most of the reasons for breastfeeding are breastfeeding.

◆ 09: Pregnancy line - When experiencing rapid weight gain or decrease, a pink or red line called Stretch Mark appears on the skin. Pregnant women are no exception, but stretch marks called "stretch marks" are attached. Although the pregnancy line disappears after 1 to 2 years, it becomes remarkable again by the pregnancy of second and third child, increase and decrease of body weight.

◆ 10: Makeup

by Yoann Boyer

When pregnant, some people may notice that the amount of hair is increasing. This is because the number of hairs falling out due to the influence of hormones decreases. Hair growth is temporary, and it returns to normal after childbirth, when the amount of hormone decreases.

◆ 11: Change of skin <br> Variation occurs in various parts of the skin during pregnancy. From the middle of the stomach to the pubic hair, a dark line called Linea nigra enters in Latin, and "liver spots" like spots on the face are likely to occur. This is derived from the fact that melanin is increased in the body, mostly disappears after childbirth, but ACOG says that some people may remain for some years.

◆ 12: Diabetes Mellitus - Blood glucose levels become abnormal only during pregnancy Gestational diabetes has been shown in a survey in the USA that gestational diabetes occurs at a rate of 10%. Also, half of women with gestational diabetes develop type 2 diabetes after childbirth, Cackovic says. Many women who become gestational diabetes are said to have people with diabetes in their families.

The Mayo Clinic recommends that women who become gestational diabetes will manage weight and diet for several years after pregnancy, observe blood glucose levels, and conduct the test.

◆ 13: libido

by Adam Kontor

After giving birth, Cackovic says that it will take years to return sexuality to normal levels. It is said that fatigue due to care of infants and relationship with lactation are considered. Cackovic also explains that lactating women lose their libido because their estrogen levels are low.

◆ 14: The uterus grows <br> The size of the uterus at the time of non-pregnancy is about none, but during pregnancy it expands to about watermelon. Later the uterus will shrink, but it does not necessarily return to its original size.

In a 1996 study , premenopausal women who experienced childbirth have shown that the size of the uterus is larger than the women who did not experience childbirth even after parturition. However, calling it "permanent change" is inaccurate and it seems that it will shrink to a smaller size after menopause.

◆ 15: Rectum abdominal muscle distraction - One of the permanent changes after childbirth is called "rectus abdominal muscle distraction". A gaps will be created between the abdominal muscles and the abdominal muscles by leaving the abdominal muscles with their bulging during pregnancy. One - third to two - thirds of women who experienced pregnancy are said to have this gap even after one year has passed since childbirth.

◆ 16: Orgasm - Although it is not a universal change, it is also known that orgasm will be weaker than pregnancy / childbirth as the pelvic floor muscle grows. As gynecologist Alyssa Dweck says "The greatest genitals for women are brains", as to why orgasm weakens, factors other than physical causes such as fatigue, pain, breast feeding are related I will.

◆ 17: Become a chimera

by Jordan Whitt

When pregnant, the inside of the mother's tummy is filled with the baby's cells. Since the baby's cells enter the mother's blood through the placenta, some of it will remain in the body after giving birth. In 2012, when I killed the body of a woman with a child, it was reported that male DNA was found from the brain. This fetal cell is also thought to help repair damaged organs.

◆ 18: Butt - Some people may notice that their buttocks are getting bigger after giving birth. The cause seems to relax the joints and ligaments by relaxin to extrude the child, but according to Mr. Cackovic, it is not so, fat is accumulated in the body simply.
