FYI if you are not sleeping enough sometimes you will gain weight. Also, it takes time to lose weight after having a baby. The hormone need to readjust. Don't stress, love yourself and your baby.

An interesting article I found concerning your question. I hope you can open the link.. There is a definite connection between obesity and depression. But often times a woman can also become depressed after having a baby...post partum depression, and can last for years.
