“I am gaining weight after a miscarriage. What could be the reason?”
I suffered from a miscarriage three months again. Both my husband and I are doing fine now, still coping with the loss, but I have started gaining weight. Is this a common thing that happens after a miscarriage? Should I be worried about it?

Women are more likely to gain rather than lose weight between pregnancies and weight gain from one pregnancy to the next increases the risks of gestational diabetes mellitus. Avoiding excessive weight gain and weight retention are important and potentially modifiable targets to achieve lower risks of adverse outcomes in subsequent pregnancies and prevent future maternal obesity and its adverse consequences. I will recommend you to check you blood sugar level and start a weight loss program with emphasis on low carbohydrates, diet, and exercise.
