Epidural anesthesia has nothing to do with weight gain after. The anesthesia wears off, and has no lasting effect once it completely leaves your system. It is very common to gain more weight with subsequent pregnancies- I am assuming your children where less than 5 years apart. Each pregnancy is different and affects your body differently. Don't blame the epi- it's just nature. You will have to work harder this time to lose the weight. You have 2 healthy children? Be thankfull!

I would imagine that, by the time you have the epidural you're done gaining weight. I had one with both my pregnancies and am not within 5 pounds of my weight before the first baby was born (older child is 4 years, younger was born 2/06).

It does not affect your weight at all. Start logging what you eat into a food journal and see if you are eating too much. Anesthesia had NOTHING to do with your weight gain or loss.

No, I don't think so, BUT did you know that brest feeding helps the mother's abdominal muscles recover and gain strength? You can get your abs looking great much faster and it's the easiest way to feed a newborn not to mention the most nutritious!

Around 1% of patients gain weight on the pill.

That is totally incorrect. You can not gain weight from having an epidural anesthetic.
Energy IN (FOOD) - Energy OUT (ACTIVITY/METABOLISM) = Energy Stored (FAT)
There is no way around this formula, it is simple high school sceince.

No, it does not. Just staying home can cause weight gain, because you can snack all day. You should try to get out and walk and watch what you eat.
