More gestational weight gain caused more postpartum weight retention. Absolute breastfeeding and vegetarian mothers had lesser postpartum weight retention than the others. It is the good clinical practice that obstetricians should recommend or advise appropriate gestational weight gain, absolute breastfeeding and appropriate diet to all pregnant women. The previous studies showed that parity, pre-pregnancy weight/BMI, socioeconomic status and physical activity were associated with postpartum weight retention.(8,12,13,16,17) The enrolled groups in our study were normal pre-pregnancy BMI. We found no association between postpartum weight retention and parity and monthly family income because most of our participants were primiparous (139/185) and had low income (147/185).
