Having a Baby Causes Weight Gain, Mood Changes and Fatigue
Things instantly change after having a baby - we are taught to expect that. But what many women are shocked to find out is that hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, leptin, ghrelin and cortisol and thyroid change during pregnancy and after birth. These hormonal changes can affect your mood and metabolism causing weight gain and fatigue. This is why for many women getting back into shape after baby is challenging and weight loss is slow.
In part weight gain after having a baby can be attributed to you feeling a little out-of-control emotionally, fatigued, exhausted, and mourning for your former life and exercise and healthy eating habits may fall by the way side.

However, the second aspect of weight gain after having a baby is that some chronic illnesses triggered by pregnancy and child birth in new mothers go untreated, because symptoms are similar to those of sleep deprivation. "Well, you just had a baby" can answer for a lot of problems ... especially fatigue and mood changes!
If you are feeling tired, depressed & have trouble concentrating and are really struggling more than other new mothers with debilitating fatigue, hair loss and depression, then you may be suffering from hormone imbalance triggered by pregnancy.

Thyroid imbalance after child birth
Postpartum thyroiditis is a condition in which the thyroid becomes inflamed after delivery, due to antibodies. It typically follows a pattern: at first, you become hyperthyroid, and might feel breathless, nervous, mentally confused, have unexplained weight loss, or trouble sleeping.
In the second phase, symptoms might be depression, mood changes, fatigue, weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
Once you've had an episode of postpartum thyroid problems, you are much more likely to later develop a thyroid problem during a period of stress, subsequent pregnancy, or during menopause.

Low leptin causes cravings, binge eating and weight gain after child birth
Leptin, is a hormone produced by your fat cells. It's involved in weight and appetite regulation and low levels of leptin can result in food cravings and cause weight gain. Women who struggle with weight loss after child birth are prone to low leptin levels.
Ghrelin increases your appetite , cravings, binge eating and weight gain
Ghrelin is a "hunger hormone" and elevated ghrelin triggers strong feelings of hunger. In addition to regulating eating behavior, ghrelin may slow your metabolism and reduce your ability to burn fat, this is one reason why it may feel like your metabolism has stopped or your weight loss plateau's.
