Pregnancy is hard on the body, however after wards we as women reap great rewards. The biggest reward is the new life that we have created with our spouses.

Unfortunately though, our bodies have to go through major adjustments. These adjustments tend to happen in about a 6 week period of time. Here are just some things to expect:

1) Cramping around the lower stomach region. This is due to the shrinking of the uterus. Remember it contained not only a baby but water as well.

2) Breasts growth. The breasts on a woman change quite a bit. This is due to the need to feed the babies. Some women feel that it happens practically overnight, but this is not true. The breasts actually change during the entire pregnancy, but within 24 hours after delivery, the body prepares the breasts to feed the baby. Having breast implants can actually cause issues for a woman. In some cases due to the way the implants were placed, many women can not breastfeed due to the breast augmentation.

3) Eating habits will change. During the pregnancy, many women felt they could devour anything in site. As the body is changing back, many women find that they tend to eat less but drink more fluids. This is also due to breastfeeding. It is recommended that women are careful with what they eat. This is because it affects the baby, some things that a woman eats can actually give the little ones tummy aches.

4) Weight loss. The body will go through huge changes. In many cases excess weight will start to melt away. Of course you will need a little help, through diet and exercise, many women can get back to their pre-baby weight.

5) Don’t forget the hormones. You will find that you can be moody or even happier.
