Pimples and acne are the most common skin problems that moms-to-be suffer during the months of pregnancy, but it goes away weeks after the childbirth.
The extra pounds that moms acquire after giving birth to the little ones are nothing to worry about. This happens due to the hormonal changes that take place after pregnancy. A little exercise and
a balanced diet is enough to
get back to your shape. But never starve in order to remain slim post-pregnancy; otherwise both you and your baby will have to suffer.
3. Hair Loss

stretch marks around their tummy which with time will blend with the skin. Sit ups and other exercises can help you get back to your original shape.

losing weight after the childbirth.

backache.
