Kang was worried that motivation to return to the great shape she was in before the babies would dissipate as she tried to juggle the hectic, on-the-go life of motherhood.

Kang has some tips and insights on how to maintain your shape and figure throughout pregnancies: Control Your Cravings Many women blame the baby for their unhealthy food cravings. Kang does not believe that these cravings are uncontrollable, and actually made a concerted effort to eat only 300-500 extra calories per day while pregnant. Deal with Changes Kang reflects on how she was stunned to see her belly appear a little pregnant just a few days after giving birth. Her body became weaker and stretch marks appeared. Plus, new fat pockets on the hips, arms, and back. The body is going to change. Kang limited her exercise initially, slowly increasingly her activity once the doctor gave her the “go ahead”.
