Men try to understand the excuses given for women to be overweight during pregnancy but, are put off by the numerous excuses that abound for women to gain weight after giving birth. And this had led to so many break-ups in marriage after the woman gave birth to first issue.
There is this couple that live in my neighbourhood that recently filed in for divorce simply because the woman cannot control her weight after child birth. This is the same couple that will always hold hands whenever they are going out in a manner that people always envy. But, look at what excess weight gain had caused. The woman failed to apply the necessary caution after child birth.

Having in mind that it is not good for a woman that is pregnant or that just gave birth to partake in strenuous and rigorous exercises.
